I disagree. End of day data is free on Yahoo and Google. Does that mean that paid data providers are a rip off? No, because the paid services add value in the form of cleaning up the data. To some, that effort is not worth the price. To others, it is.
Many trading ideas have been coded in a variety of programming languages and made available for free. However, there is some effort required to collect those ideas, convert them to AFL, verify that the implementations are *correct*, and package them in an easy to use format. As an experienced software developer, I can assure you that many of those free implementations are poorly written and filled with bugs. I have not reviewed the software being advertised. So, I will not comment on its usefulness or quality, other than to say that it appears that a legitimate effort was put into its construction. AmiBroker users are a diverse group with varying ability to write or evaluate code for themselves. To some, the package may represent added value. To others, perhaps not. Either way, it is, in my opinion, not helpful to offer a critique without having at least done a proper evaluation of the software. A review based on actual usage would be a far more useful contribution to the forum.
