I tried several other charting apps before choosing AmiBroker (WLD was
not one of them). Of the others that I evaluated none of them had any
where near the versatility that AB has. If you run into something
that can't be handled with the built in language you can usually solve
the problem using Windows scripting language. If that doesn't work
you have the option of writing a full blown DLL using a real
programming language and hooking the functionality of the dynamic link
lib. into AB. The last two options require you know how to write code
but give you all problem solving power you should ever need.
