Upgrade to version 4.0.8.18
NDU.trigger.exe enhanced by the addition of the EXPORT parameter.

In Watchlist Library (for US Stocks subscribers) OTC Securities have been re-organized under a single entry in the navigation tree. To distinguish OTC securities that were previously major-exchange-listed, a Stock Market filter called “OTC (Previously Listed)” has been introduced under Location > Listing Exchange. This filter treats OTC as a US “exchange” for those securities that were previously exchange-listed. The filter is turned off by default.

The AmiBroker function "NorgateCurrentIndustryIndexSymbol" has been renamed to "NorgateIndustryIndexCorresponding" to better indicate its particular function. A new function called "NorgateIndustryIndex" has been added to retrieve the industry index symbol for actual index members.

The trailing twelve month dividend per share field (ttmdivshr) has been reworked and is now calculated on the basis of ordinary dividends.  In addition, a new fundamental field has been created (ttmdivshradj) which adjusts the dividends for the effects of any capital reconstructions (splits, spin-offs etc.)  The 12 month dividend yield (divyield_curttm) is based on this new adjusted field.
