Sorry, I can't help you. The earliest version I have saved is 4.32.2.
Moreover, assuming that Rik is correct, this no longer reads the Yahoo
data servers correctly.

However, I wonder what you mean when you say that the algorithms are
no longer that good. Is it because the back-testing is returning lower
profit?

Only the developer himself could answer this definitively, but I don't
see how or why the 'algorithms' (e.g. calculating indicators and their
MA crossovers, which generate the buy/sell signals) would have
changed. New features (e.g. Multi-AIO, ability to AIO/BT on
gain%-per-trade as an alternative to total-gain%) have been added, but
the ability to run with the previous AIO/BT 'algorithm', by selecting
the relevant options, should still remain intact. To the best of my
knowledge, no prior capability has been removed.

If the back-testing is returning lower profit, then there could be a
number of other contributing reasons:
1. The consistency of data is poor, a Yahoo problem.
2. Prices and patterns in the market, e.g. cycle lengths, volatility,
trend consistency, have meanwhile changed. AIO/BT uses a 'moving' data
window.
3. The 'before' and 'after' trials are based around differing
criteria, e.g. different stocks, different time frames, different
parameters entered.

And if the developer had actually changed the AIO/BT algorithms, then
aside from running AIO/BT using both versions across the same data,
and getting different results, how would any of us know for sure?

I'm not playing devil's advocate for the sake of it, nor am I trying
to persuade you to buy the new version. I'm genuinely curious to know
what you mean. If the algorithms have changed, and I could discover
exactly how, then I may need to adjust my trading system.
