Hmmm... How good is Amibroker.....
I don't know what I would do without it. I tell everyone about it
here in Denver Trading Group, I have been accused by some people at
the club for having a "luv affair with it"... It really depends on
what you want it for. Several Negatives I have been told are the
graphics, ease of getting used to it and for traders using multiple
time frames it is not possible to do intratimeframe Tick data but
then you can't have it all... I don't use it for systems I am a
discretionary trader. For me Stability goes a long ways with this
platform, not to mention how QUICK it reacts. I am tired of
platforms that are sort of "quiky" in how they work.
The support is the best, I was afraid at first that support was hard
to get... NOT THE CASE ;)
