    • Fixed Pivot indicator in range for all platforms.
      Please reimport it to your trading platform and retest your strategies if you use one of these indicators. The change should affect only some edge cases, most likely it will not change the results of your strategies

      This enables for better control of evolution and better filtering by metrics of every part separately. Now you can check whether strategy is stable in multiple different periods.
