Thank you all for your information and valuable input. I have already read the posts about tradingbasis but I wanted to drive into specific examples of how it has helped others in their methods. I will have to review tradingbasis again and had actually never heard of kwikpop.
Hopefully we can further these conversations into working together and developing greater trading systems and methods with Amibroker. Any additional input or thoughts are great. Like I said, I am a large supporter of this software but at the same time have no interest in spending "free time" tweaking software when I should be researching the actual trades.
