> Changes
-
Added fields to the Settings > Analyzer page for SMS Ignored and Allowed global settings.
-
The Dashboard Pairs list now shows the total time since initial purchase for each coin. Time precision decreases with longer periods.
-
Made changes to how PTM reads Ignored/Allowed market fields from the Analyzer: PTM now checks only the beginning of the coin pair. This means users no longer need to specify the market. For example, rather than "BTCUSDT, ETHUSDT, LINKUSDT" only "BTC, ETH, LINK" is needed. IMPORTANT NOTE: Any coin starting with with the same sub-string specified will match! If the user specifies "AUX," coins named "AUXA" and "AUXZ" will also match. While there don't seem to be any coins currently whose name is a subset of another coin, it is always a future possibility. In such cases the full coin pair, e.g., "AUXUSDT" should be specified to avoid any ambiguity.
-
If BinanceFutures is specified as the exchange, PTM will automatically create a new section at the end of the PAIRS setting to disable Quarterly Contracts. Lines similar to "BTCUSDT_210326_trading_enabled = false" will be added for any quarterly contract currently available on the exchange. Quarterly futures contracts should generally not be traded automatically, since they have a set expiration date at which point they are delisted and any open positions are automatically liquidated. As Binance continues to add new quarterly contracts, PTM users will no longer need to manually update their settings files to disable such pairs.
