BeeSoft has announced the latest update to ProTA and ProTA Gold, their leading stock market charting and technical analysis software for Mac OS X. ProTA delivers professional-level market analysis to ordinary investors and short-term traders in a modern, Mac OS X user interface.
Version 3.23 has been updated for compatibility with the February 2010 changes to options symbology as set forth by the Options Clearing Corporation. This upgrade is free for existing customers of any OS X version of ProTA or ProTA Gold.
ProTA Developer Jeffery Bizon: "Effective February 12, 2010 the Options Clearing Corporation has changed the way USA equity option symbols are formulated. The old 3 to 5 character symbols are now 8 to 24 characters in length for improved readability. BeeSoft has been working closely with our primary data partner, Dial Data, and now with the public release of version 3.23 we are fully compatible with the new extended symbology."
