Best not to get too excited about a Datek or Ameritrade 
plugin. The IB plugin was predicted to be available in the fall of 2002 if 
my memory is not too faulty.  The reason I remember this is because my 
son decided to buy Amibroker based on this prediction of when the IB plugin 
would be available.   In spite of the fact that the IB plugin 
 has never happened, and who knows when it will happen, his buying 
Amibroker has turned out very good for me. This is  because I would never 
would have even tried  to learn to use Amibroker if it were not for my 
son coaching me in the beginning. 
 
 I delete virtually  all of the posts 
relating to backtesting, because I know It would be very difficult for me 
to learn how to do it.  Furthermore, I think it is not the best way to try 
and find winning trades. I have no idea why I read his post,  but just 
today, I read part of a post by pal suggesting that perhaps a walk foreward 
approach might be more useful.  IMHO he is absolutely correct.
 
Since I don't have the ability to do the backtesting, 
about all that I can do is spend a lot of time studying the interactions of the 
GUPPY patterns of moving averages of all sorts of things such as OBV(), RSI, 
ATR, etc.  Learning how to predict  when greed is about to get the 
upperhand over fear can be useful.  I still need to improve my scans 
because they are many times a few days early, and they also still give me buy 
signals when a downtrending stock does a significant upward correction on its 
way down. Thanks to everyone for all of your great assistance. Ron
