[amibroker] Re: Off topic -recommending broker & 3rd Party Vendors

I use the downloaded software version of IB. (You can also use the 
online web version).
The speed (for me...cable access) is instant if I sell at the bid or 
buy at the ask. A split second. One blink and its done.

If you are looking for inexpensive (keep your profits), I highly 
recommend my setup for swing trading. IB and Quotetracker (free). I 
occasionally update Amibroker (EOD version) intraday with Yahoo 
current (free).

My monthly data costs are $ 0.
Software is paid for, no monthly fees.
IB charges peanuts 1 cent to 500 shares 1/2 cent over 500.
I swing trade (EOD basis) trades last 2-15 days, long and short.

I have been trading (part time) for about 20 years, tried all kinds 
of software, trading rooms etc..currently I am trading part time, I 
have a full time career and am on the road frequently. Sometimes to 
busy to trade for a full month. 

Since October 2002 Amibroker and my set up has resulted in:

Total increase 127%
Annualized  170%
Total Trades 40
Winners    31
Losers      9
Win rate    77% 

Thank you Thomasz, William Peters, Dimitri, Anthony, Jason, Herman 
and any others I may have missed. This board has provided insight, 
help and trading results far beyond my expectations

Amibroker and this group is phenomenal. 

I only wish that all 3rd party vendors that call themselves a plug-
in, trading formulas or systems etc would link to Thomasz main site 
for purchase, as PowerScan has done (William Peters-well done!).
Amibroker is the basis for all of your products and Thomasz should 
receive some compensation. I also wish that 3rd party pricing and 
customer service attitude remain within the spirit of Amibroker, 
affordable to all, and a friendly helping hand when required as 
Thomasz does so graciously (even for the occasional "dumb" question)
 
Thank You All!
Jim
