Pat, its only the begining...infact if one had a website that compares features of all products such charting, backtesting, list of builtin functions, mutitimeframe support, automatic trade execution, more than anything - SUPPORT, support for various free and paid data sources, its easy to recognise that Amibroker is the best.
coding a strategy - it probably should be called "Easiest Language". now can we see your email displayed as AmibrokerV50 ?? -) Cheers,Padhu ----- Original Message ----- From: metastockv10 To: [email protected] Sent: Saturday, October 06, 2007 6:52 AM Subject: [amibroker] Re: test Hi Tomasz, thank you for that link. I just can't belive it. Making my research (based on opinions of other users - I am not experienced enough to have my own opinion) it appeared that MS is one of the best AT programe. Since "system tester" is found as a one of the most important features in that kind of programme, how aplication which has a tester not working propely can be admitted as one of the best. I also can't believe that they haven't improved it yet. It seems like users noticed that few version of MS ago. That is a big POINT for you - they can't do what you did. Congratulations. Thanks again for your explanations, it was very helpful for me.
