Hi Ed,
it depends what you mean by problem and it also
depends on what you
want to attain (what strategy you want to
backtest).
I consider myself a schooled programmer (degree in
CS, programming is
part of my job), first problem I found was
documentation, until I
discovered Dingo's document (on the beta site if I
remember well).
Documentation is probably the biggest issue with
AB in general,
luckily there's this list/community and especially
Tomasz to help.
The second problem was (and still is) AFL
expressive power, not all
strategies can be stated in AFL alone, even using
the custom
backtester.
Anyway as far as I know no other package offers a
better alternative,
and AFL performance is probably the best on the
market, short of
custom programming, so more kudos to TJ.
I strongly encourage reading Dingo's doc and all
AB documentation
before jumping on custom coding.
