Versions

v2.8.1LatestPre-Release

The biggest Margin-9 update yet — a fully self-managed order engine with four entry modes (chart-click, pair adoption, market, and breakout), draggable pre-fill targets, market-entry safety guards, an optional account/margin info line, and a cleanly grouped settings dialog. Requires Sierra Chart’s "Use Attached Orders" to be turned off.

v2.8.0

One protective stop per take-profit in every entry mode, so Sierra Chart’s STOPS LINKED / FREE controls keep working as expected — plus control-panel display fixes.

v2.7.0

Flat-Stop Safety — three selectable modes keep a market-entry stop from firing while you are still flat, with an always-on warning if a position is ever left unprotected.

v2.6.1

Pre-fill targets for market entry — your take-profit lines appear as soon as your stop is set, with live risk-to-reward, and the number of targets now follows your live position size.

v2.5.0

A cleaner control panel — your entry status now shows on a compact bottom line of the panel, consistent across all entry modes.

v2.3.0

Draggable pre-fill take-profit lines — your targets appear before the entry fills and turn into real orders the moment you are filled.

v2.2.0

Non-destructive pair adoption — place your own entry and protective stop, and Margin-9 adopts them as-is instead of cancelling and replacing your orders.

v2.1.0

Chart-click entry — hold a key and left-click the chart to place your entry exactly where you want it.

v2.0.0

A brand-new self-managed order engine — Margin-9 now places and manages your entries, stops, and take-profits itself with atomic OCO brackets, replacing the old Trade Window configuration files. Turn off Sierra Chart’s "Use Attached Orders".

v1.9.2

Stops and take-profits now follow your position reliably and OCO-safely, without the brief flicker previously seen on some multi-bracket positions.

v1.8.8

Improved license activation reliability — more consistent behavior across all license types and smoother recovery from brief network interruptions

v1.8.7

Refreshed, more compact update and activation dialogs that match the rest of the Margin-9 interface, with a minimize button and consistent colors

v1.8.6

Lifetime licenses now check for new versions once per day, just like subscription licenses — the in-study "Update available" dialog now appears whenever a newer build is released

v1.8.5

Fixed license activation failing with an "unable to write the license file" error on non-standard Sierra Chart installations (a different drive or folder, a portable setup, or multiple instances)

v1.8.4

Daily update checks, a redesigned update dialog, and one-click in-study installation of new versions

v1.8.3

The "*Trial" badge is now removed instantly when your free trial converts to a paid subscription — no chart reload needed

v1.8.2

Free-trial licenses now show a "*Trial" badge in the panel title; quieter Sierra Chart message log (only actionable alerts shown)

v1.8.0

In-study update notification dialog; native Windows-on-ARM build; fixed contract-count flip on live bracket entry drag; reliable control-panel restore

v1.7.1

Fixed contract count flipping when dragging the entry of a live bracket; control panel now reliably re-appears after removing and re-adding the study

v1.7.0

Smarter Max Contract Limits, new STOPS LINKED panel button, non-blocking activation, panel-restore fixes, smoother contract sizing with multiple or unsynced stops

v1.6.0

Window layout persistence, percentage-based risk, Max Contract Limits, Sync Stops, CANCEL ALL button, 4K support, borderless UI

v1.5.0

Window close state memory, improved visibility control

v1.4.0

Multi-instance / multi-symbol support, button state validation, tick value validation, per-symbol logging

v1.3.3

Stability improvements and smoother operation

v1.3.2

Forward Reward-to-Risk (FRR) indicator, green circle for profit stops

v1.2.2

Performance improvements and bug fixes
