Friends,
I really appreciate your comments about AmiBroker and Idon't
mind comparing
it to other software. In fact this is quite nice being
compared to $2000 product :-)
As for formula language - AFL currently has big advantage over
both Metastock and
Tradestation - it allows you to mix AFL simplicity and speed
with the flexibility and
unlimited possibilities of formulas written in
JScript/VBScript.
This allows YOU to decide what parts of your formula need
complete control
(then you write them in JScript/VBScript) and which parts
could be written in
much faster AFL native.
Soon third possibility will appear - with AmiBroker
Development Kit you will
be able to write your own functions using C/C++, Delphi
(Pascal) and any other
language capable of creating DLLs.
So again, I like receiving comments, critics and suggestions
because
they help me *a lot* making AmiBroker better and
better.
Without you, the users, AmiBroker would not grow so
quickly.
Thank you very much.
Best wishes,
Tomasz Janeczko

<FONT
size=2>Actually, I find that AmiBroker is being compared
to Tradestation very flattering. I have used TS for a number of yearsand
it is an outstanding program. It used to be the obvious choice for working
with real time data, but the US$2000 price was/(is) absurd. The formula
language, although stuck in a Pascal paradigm, was excellent. Most ofthe
end of day features are available in Super Charts at less than a tenth of
the TS price, but only with a simplified/brain damaged formula editor.
Trader has a point about considering some of the language features into
AB, but, I agree, with perhaps a bit more patience. The spped improvement
alone in AB makes it worth using for me.Somehow. I think TJ does a
very good job of speaking for himself and I'm willing to adjust my
timetable to his.Best regards,Jerry CoopmansOn 16Jun
