I am new to Amibroker and I have been using Howard's which I find to be excellent, as a guide to learing AB.
I find the statement that all trading systems stop working eventually to be too vague. First "stop working" is a relative term and would have a different meaning for each of us. Also I think inefficiencies can come and go in cycles based on the popularity of a particular type of trading. Once an inefficiency has been traded away due to over-popularity, it probably will go out of fashion and then become an inefficiency again some time in the future. All this depends on the specifics of what we mean by "stop working" and "a system".
