This question may have been asked before but I can't find it in the
AB thread index. What do the members of this thread see as the
advantages of Amibroker vs Wealth-Lab Developer aside from cost? I
have an evaluation copy of both and have played around with each in a
fairly simple way. From what I can tell both have large supportive
user groups, both support my QP2 data vendor (but AB may offer more
QP2 fundamental data support), both have powerful trading/backtesting
languages, AB adds support for JScript & VBScript in-line dlls (many
of which are available via the AB Yahoo database), WL has a huge on-
line trading strategy script base, WL allows its language to
reference multiple tickers in the same script (not sure if AB does?),
and WL has a slick user interface with lots of graphical
presentations including a neat 3-D optimization variable map.
I do understand that Thomasz is working on an improved charting
engine/user interface for V4.2. But if I were to sum up at this date
my conclusion is that, for about 6.5X the cost, WL offers roughly
what AB does plus a very professional user interface and a large
number of trading scripts at their website.
Is this an accurate comparison or an over simplification? Are there
other factors that I'm overlooking? Thanks in advance for your
response.
