[Build 129 Dev6] AlgoWizard and Retester are exporting XML in different manner, AlgoWizard saves/exports 2 different kinds of XML

1.) The strategy "SampleStrategy1.sqx" in original was written in StrategyFile Version 3.9.130 (see attachments).

2.) But if we export an XML from Retester, this Version is changed automatically to 3.9.132 and some information is added ("options" for example). But (yet) all the variables remain unchanged.

3.) But if we export the XML from AlgoWizard instead, the Version automatically is (down-)changed to 3.9.128 and all of the parameters inside of the strategy are transformed to autoGenerated variables.

So at the end we have 3 different XML's with different properties.

This is very missleading for such programmers who are using expressions from the SQX-API!

So it would be helpful to arrange those things in a clear manner.

And AlgoWizard does his work in a much more dangerous way:

If we are simply saving a strategy with "Save as .." as SQX it remains unchanged (without auto-generated variables). But If we do export an XML (as TXT) from the sourcecode-window, those autogenerated variables ar added.

At the end we find 2 different kinds of xml: an unchanged inside of the SQX-file and a modified 1 as exported XML.

My wish is: Let's have only 1 kind of XML everywhere!
