Hi,
I've never used "Trading Blox Builder" but I've been using a bit
their less expensive software.
Apart from what it has been already said, Trading Blox Turtle and
Professional (they are similar, the main difference being the number
of systems available) are different from Amibroker for two reasons:
- they allow real multisystem-multimarket testing: you can split
your initial capital among two (three, four .. N) different systems
and test each of them on your portfolio of markets (or each of them
on a different portfolio of markets);
- to do so, you aren't required to program anything, just to choose
the basic setting, so they are really friendly to non programmer
user. Of course, this comes with a price: you cannot test any system
that is not pre-written in the testing engine.
Letting aside Trading Blox builder (if you can spend $ 3000 for a
testing engine you can also buy both TBB and Amibroker, just to give
it a trial), the choice would depend on:
- considerations about the price;
- how much you are willing to learn a new programming language;
- what you want to test (testing multisistem? testing new ideas or
the ones pre-pregrammed in TB?)
Hope this helps,
Angelo.
