1.10

Warning! The MT5 version now uses UTF-8 settings file format. After you update the Account Protector to version 1.10, it will likely cause a failure to load your old settings file correctly.

1. Added an option to calculate only realized profit/loss in the daily profit/loss conditions (CountFloatingInDailyPL).
2. Added a trigger delay option (ConditionDelay).
3. Added an option to load your custom settings file with panel fields' values (Settings file).
4. Added four new conditions based on the number of positions and pending orders.
5. Added a global ON/OFF state for the panel.
6. Added a new filter to the Filters tab to target long and short trades separately.
7. Changed how you can control the way the positions are sorted before closing.
8. Fixed the file encoding used for the panel's settings file in MT5. It is now UTF-8.
9. Fixed a bug in the MT4 version of the EA that resulted in deposits and withdrawals being counted in the daily profit/loss conditions.
10. Fixed decimal places normalization in some condition fields.
11. Fixed the placement of fields on the Filters tab to avoid overlapping problems in MT4.
12. Optimized the EA initialization and deinitialization phases to significantly improve the loading speed when switching the chart symbol.
13. Removed the PanelOnTopOfChart input parameter. Use the 'Chart on foreground' checkbox in the chart's settings instead.
