Well said! Be warned not to fell into the trap of spending all your
time in learning to program instead of learing to trade. I have used
a trial version of the Builder version of TradingBlox (IMHO, the
turtle and pro versions with only cann't systems don't worth the
money). It was a real eye-opener! I would have bought it if myself
not a programmer and can handle Ami pretty well. I learned a lot of
system building concepts from the trial version and used them in my
Ami AFL. The multi system simulation with detailed reports and rigid
risk control is still hard to do with Ami, if possible at all. If
you are in trading long enough, risk control and position sizing is
more important than all those fancy indicators.
