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.
Thanks
Fred

They do not offer a trial,
