New Hope PRO updates
New Hope PRO 1.8.11: New Strategy, Feeds and Setup Tools
New Hope PRO 1.8.11 brings a new 2LegMartin strategy, clearer trading logs and a more convenient setup workflow. This release overview covers the main changes since version 1.5.23, including order-closing calculations, the economic calendar, strategy configuration files and additional connections.
The update focuses on everyday work with the program: choosing instruments, preparing a strategy, reviewing executions and understanding what happened in the log. Existing clients can open New Hope AREA for their assigned product resources and update information.
A new strategy: 2LegMartin
2LegMartin adds a new trading logic to New Hope PRO. In the current Trade Settings interface, it appears in the Strategy selector as 2LegsMartin. Open its settings to explore the new workflow and configure the selected strategy.
Revised closing calculations and preparation before the first order
Closing calculations have been corrected in 2Legs st2/st3 and Smart2Legs. The changes cover the prices used, the direction of the result and the time between executions. These are the details that matter when reviewing how the two legs were processed and how the closing result was calculated.
Strategies have also been moved into separate modules. Trading-library preparation can now take place without sending orders. This prepares the relevant components before the first order and is intended to reduce the delay associated with their initial preparation.
Trading logs that explain the sequence
The updated colour-coded logs bring together signals, prices, slippage, profit, closing reasons and execution times. Instead of looking only at the final result, you can follow the sequence and see which events led to it.
The default boundary used to classify normal execution is 200 ms. This is a logging threshold that helps distinguish execution timings. It is not a promised broker response time. When reviewing an entry, read the timing together with its prices, slippage and closing reason.
An updated economic calendar
The economic calendar now provides updated filters, event importance, forecasts and previous values. The loading of the following week has also been fixed.
You can narrow the view by currency and impact level, then use keywords to find relevant events. The table keeps event timing and available values together. The calendar shown below displays its times in UTC.
The updated calendar: currency and impact filters, keyword search, forecasts and previous values.
Save settings and load the available instruments
Strategy settings can now be saved to a configuration file and loaded again. Where you load that file determines how it is used:
From the main window: loading a configuration creates a new strategy.
Inside a strategy's settings: loading a configuration applies it to that current strategy.
This makes it easier to keep a working configuration and return to it without entering every field again.
For supported connections, New Hope PRO can now load the instrument list and search it by name. You can select the symbol provided by the connection rather than relying only on manual entry. The available symbols still depend on the selected connection.

B2TRADER FIX and public crypto quote feeds
The update adds a B2TRADER FIX connection and a mode for receiving public crypto-exchange quotes without a trading connection.
For a supported exchange, select Feed connection to use its public market data without entering trading API keys. This is useful when adding an exchange feed for data analysis. It does not enable trading on an exchange account; a public quote stream and an authenticated trading connection serve different purposes.

Other fixes and where to continue
The release also corrects connection-latency display and addresses a number of issues with starting the application, loading settings and closing the program.
