Saluti, Andrea.
I'll be happy to help you whenever I can, however there are
some key members of this board that can more easily answer almost any of your
questions about Amibroker and about trading - better than I
can.
Not many of us have posted profile like you have, and I've only come to know some of the players by
gleaning bits of data over the past two years of lurking and posting.
Thanks for posting your profile. The forum has been very productive
in the last 2 months and I think you'll find it invaluable. It ebbs and
flows like a lot of life's processes and organizations, however it's in a good
state right now with an increasing number of courteous contributors.
If you haven't met AB's founder/author you'll enjoy meeting him and
experiencing the support he provides. Based on his comments to some of the
questions asked here, answers that can be found by pressing F1, he
does suffer fools very gracefully.
There's almost 2 generations separating us in age and while
my style is not short term swing trading, I do rely on Amibroker to manage part
of my 'nest egg'. I don't know if you're familiar with older
American movies but like consider the line in the Graduate (1967) when
Mrs. Robinson says to Benjamin (Dustin Hoffman's character) the place to be is
in, "plastics"; my one word to you would be
patience. The second is timing, and the third is compounding. (as I
review the context of that line in the movie it really doesn't fit here).
I seen many of my young and old colleagues in the Houston area jump from one new
strategy to another while subjecting their initial equity to attrition, or
as it's called in brokerage houses,
churning.
The significant part of what I pay my bills and taxes,
is managed by a patient 'stock picking' money manager who relies on
fundamentals, sector analysis and to some extent market direction, who out
scores market indices and on the average most mutual funds.
This is very similar to what your bank would do for institutional and trust
accounts.
Riguardi,
