  Tradestation in place of Esignal/MyTrack/Amibroker/Sierra
  
  Wow... Everybody Thank You !  
   
  
  Did you somehow find out that I have a birthday 
  tommorrow and because of that you are saying all those nice things 
  ???
   
 
  You don't have idea how much I appreciate the 
  support all of you have been giving to me over years.
  This all has happened because you belived in me, 
  invested your money and invested lots of time learning a new 
  program.
  This happened because everyone started to spread 
  the word about AmiBroker and more and more people
  became aware that such product exists and it is 
  worth looking at. This happened because you had enough patience
  to explain your needs and enough patience to wait 
  for the implementation. 
   
  I thank everyone here for so much valuable 
  feedback. AmiBroker would not evolve so much without all
  the suggestions, ideas , comments, spreading the 
  word and all kind of support I have received from all of you.
  Thank you !
  
Best 
  regards,
Tomasz Janeczko

    The best thing about AmiBroker is that if you want a special feature 
    and it is reasonable Tomasz probably adds it to the program. On this 
    list you will find countless people who CAN DO WHAT THEY WANT TO 
    DO only because Tomasz listened and added the required features. He has 
    done this hundreds of times, for many people. I myself still grumble a bit 
    now and then (just like you i want it yesterday!) but over the years I have 
    seen so many requests implemented that I don't even dare to quess how 
    many there may have been. I am sure this is the case for many others as 
    well.
     
    So, Tomasz, I take this opportunity to say "Thank You" just once 
    more.
    ...be it a love-fest or not :-))))
     
    Herman.
     
     
    
      
I'll add one 
      more thought.
I've just been going through the process myself; 
      having both sent in 
an application for Tradestation to cover my bases 
      about 2 weeks ago 
(not activiated it yet) - and, being a current IB 
      trader; having 
purchased Amibroker.    During this 
      process I tried to answer the 
same question you are grappling 
      w/.
One reason I decided to start w/ AB and see how far it can take 
      me 
is that one of my strategies deals w/ shorting stocks and I read on 
      
another board that TS brokerage offers about 3000+ shortable stocks, 
      
while IB offers over 5000+ shortable stocks.   I don't know 
      if that 
is 100% accurate or not (pulled it from another board) but it 
      
influanced my decision to start here.
Also, I don't know how 
      the programming languages compare but despite 
a bit of a learning 
      curve I'm extremely impressed in about 1 week w/ 
the product.  It 
      is clearly extremely powerful.   Also, having sent 
about 10 
      questions to support to help get over humps I've been 
impressed that 
      for the most part they have all been responded to 
very 
      quickly.
