New updates can introduce bugs, incompatibility or instability issues that affect performance and execution. That’s why our traders often stick with a proven, stable version until newer releases have been thoroughly tested and patched.</mark> \
\ <mark style="color:yellow;">To avoid unnecessary issues, we recommend staying in sync with what our community is using.</mark> [<mark style="color:yellow;">Join our free trade room</mark>](https://discord.gg/algobox) <mark style="color:yellow;">to stay informed on which version we're running and get real-time updates from experienced users and a professional quant trader & software developer.</mark>
