TJ is absolutely correct. 

I have tried a number of programs including AIQ, Tradestation, Metastock, Wealth-Lab, Ensign and a number of others. When I have tried to get serious I have had to resort to writing DLLs or writing code from scratch. IMVHO, Amibroker is by far the best program out there. Yes it is a long learning curve, but the support is second to none. I can't say I've reached guru status in Amibroker but it hasn't failed me yet.

  Bravo TJ Brovo
  Their is so much in Ami you can't go wrong... You may have to work 
  for what you want but it's there. If you want a cookie cutter program 
  that tells you what you want, get on board that software. When you 
  realize that you want to customize, or add to it, and that you need 
  support. You'll be back.

  just a newbie, but with a 2 month jump on you!
  take care,
  mytake
