Hello Terry, Thanks for your post.
I can't disagree with the points you make in your first paragraph. To provide balance to comments I have made elsewhere in this topic I would like to go on record here and say that AB has many good features, especially for hard core traders. If I listed all of 'my' positives they would far outway 'my' negatives. It is a first class trading program but in my opinion it is also an idiosycnratic one. I personally don't have any problem working around those idiosyncracies as you obviously don't. It's just that I don't give out prizes for workarounds. My view of MS Word, which is typically Microsoft, is that it is a layered access program. It has extra turnon/turnoff paperclip features to provide entry level access for the very young, the very old or the very inexperienced; no criticism from me there. It has medium level features on top for every day use and advanced features buried below so that it can meet the needs of 'specialist' word users, even up to business level use. Now that exhibits a smart, democratic and business savy design philosophy. That's why I say MS are the defacto industry standard. Regards, BrianB2. P.S I haven't asked AB to provide paperclip features; nor will I in the future. --- In [email protected], "Terry" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > ".Amibroker is a tool for trading..a good looking GUI probably helps you > the least in making money..." > > > > AMEN! > > > > PS: I don't have trouble with the GUI.
