• FIXED: Display of volatility stops fixed.  Previously, when the +2SD checkbox was deselected, the stop with 1 extra SD was shown rather than the one without any extra SDs.

• CHANGED: When chart is selected, the left/right arrows keys now change the shift value rather than adjust the right margin.  The right margin can now be adjusted dynamically by clicking the M key with or without the Shift key, or by clicking the R key to enter a value.

• CHANGED: Leaving the Alert Proximity% value empty on any of the scans that use this setting causes TCScan+ to ignore this setting.

• CHANGED: Printed charts and picture of the main form (in results printing) now have a margin around them.

• CHANGED: Shortcut keys for adjusting the chart margins must now be accompanied by the Shift key.
