RE: [amibroker] Training and/or User Groups

For the new comer... My motto is: try to define what you want to do, set some objectives, and than start learning what you "need to know". The rest will follow "as needed". To work through a 600 page manual without coming accross any real trading system is no way to learn: boring!
 
Instead of trying to follow how complicated systems work, pick some kind of a system that appeals to you, a system that has characteristics that go with your personality and time allotment. There are plenty of systems in books, none of them will make you rich but each of them is a great learning experience. Go to the library and get a copy of "Encyclopedia of indicators.." I think that is what it is called. You'll find over one hundred easy trading systems you can program with half a dozen or so lines of code. Ask help on the list if you need any.
 
Oh, and btw, NEVER worry about looking dumb or stupid. People who do not worry about what others think about them will learn and progress twice as fast as those who do. Finally, remember that complex doesn't always mean better...
 
just my two cents worth :-)
best regards,
herman.
