If you
want a leg up on programming then I strongly urge you to investigate PowerScan
at http://www.amitools.com/. At $39
its a great value in terms of learning how to write
formulae.

AmiBroker vs Metastock
Hi Howard,
Thank you very much for taking the time to reply. Your comments are much
appreciated, and taken to heart. From reading the posts within the user group
I agree with your observations.
It is the programming language that I will need help with. Do you think
the online PDF manual will be sufficient, and /or do you have any other
readings to recommend.
Again, thank you for your valuable time.

user of both MetaStock and TradeStation, and have used most of the other
system development platforms. My switch from MetaStock to AmiBroker
was based on many factors. Here are a few of them:
<SPAN

MetaStock”Ēs system description language is very cumbersome. For
example, having four separate boxes to fill in for long entry, long exit,
short entry, and short exit. AmiBroker”Ēs system description language
is very full-featured and follows good programming language design
practices.
<SPAN

has no easy way to extend the language. AmiBroker can be easily
extended through use of modules written in C++, <FONT

>, or
Basic.
<SPAN
>3. MetaStock
gives no control over the objective function used when searching /
optimizing. AmiBroker calculates and displays several
metrics.
<SPAN
>4. MetaStock
works with a single data stream at a time. AmiBroker has features that
not only allow computation of signals on one stream while trading another,
but allows portfolio rotation among a group of stocks or
funds.
<SPAN
>5. MetaStock
technical staff told me, in a telephone conversation, that there would be no
enhancement to the capabilities of MetaStock for several years.
AmiBroker is being actively enhanced, and suggestions from users of
AmiBroker appear in the new versions regularly.
<SPAN
>6. The
MetaStock discussion groups are pretty stale. The AmiBroker discussion
groups are vibrant. Some very smart people and very experienced
traders regularly share their ideas.
<SPAN

<SPAN
>A caution
though. You will want to brush up on your programming skills to get
the most from AmiBroker.

I certainly prefer the look of AB, but know little <FONT

learn.MS looks more user
