RE: [amibroker] Use Tradestation in place of Esignal/MyTrack/Amibroker/Sierra, AmiBroker Email List Archive

Please forgive me if this was already covered but the biggest 2 reasons I can give you for using Amibroker is portfolio level back testing and Tomasz. I was a TS user from the days of systemwriter up to TS 6 where I finally threw in the towel and went to wealth-lab because TS could not AND still cannot do portfolio level testing. I had owned AB early on but at that point did not have portfolio level testing and its data sources were limited. It was not until a few months ago I became aware that it had that functionality and I immediately bought the latest version. The Cruz brothers support is dismal at best and for overall flexibility you will not find a better bargain than Amibroker. As others have said the support here is extraordinary. The biggest hurdle I have to overcome is trying to re-learn a single program and quit trying to do things in TS or WL format which I invariably do.

The main reason you should be using Amibroker instead of TradeStation is....two words: Tomasz Janeczko.

No where, in trading analysis and charting software will you find a product the features the quality of construction and quality of support that exists in Amibroker; and the reason why this is possible is, again, one man: Tomasz Janeczko.

If you ever undergo the experience of needing an answer from another program's tech support....or you even go to the extent of voicing a request for a feature you would like to have to the other company.....then you will know the reason why all the men reading and writing here on this list are here, and not at the list about a program from some other company.

Another thing: In how many forum lists such as this, for other products, would you find the large number of subscribers and program owners, virtually all of whom are nearly completely satisfied with the product and the support. It is a rare combination, what we have in Amibroker and Tomasz Janeczko. If you are interested in excellence you need look no farther.

Hi,
I don't understand why shouldn't I be using Tradestation in place of
all these various products which are not integrated properly?

IB
====================
Cheap brokerage and free data but no storage and backfill of data

Esignal
=========
Good data but expensive and charting package free

Sierra
===========
Only Charting Package no free data

Mytrack
===========
Cheaper data but no good charting package and not a cheap broker

Amibroker
==============
Only Good Chartin Package, No data and no Brokerage service.
Free data available via IB but can't store it easily and even then no
backfill.
With QT it may be able to backfill and get relatime data via IB but
does not work at the moment.

Hence I would suggest compare all the prices and add them up as a
monthly charge. You would come to the conclusion Tradestation is the
best and cheapest.

$99 dollars a month, state of art platform/charting/testing etc,
Cheap brokerage with free data as well. Chnace of this $99 being
waived too if you do lots of trade in a month.

Now why should I use Esignal and pay them $99 just for data and
charting?

Why use any amibroker/sierra or mytrack when total cost comes moe
than $99 whatever way you trade unless you do only 2-3 symbols which
is impractical anyway.

Let me know your thoughts guy??

Thanks
Choco
