  • Split resource update.
Wealth-Lab 8 Build 9 - 12/15/2022
  • Removed native provider support for intraday scales that don't end on the hour and half hour marks; e.g., 13 or 78 minute bars.
  • Scaling for these "odd" intervals will be performed by WealthLab using smaller intervals. We recommend deleting the IQFeed data folders for all "odd" intervals. See forum discussion starting from post #10 for more information.

Wealth-Lab 8 Build 2 - 5/13/2022
  • The embedded resource used to split older intraday histories was overlooked in the migration to Verison 8. Refresh intraday histories for split adjustments.

Wealth-Lab 7 Build 16 - 1/10/2022
