Hello Graham,
For the record, the topics that I value the most in the forum are the
*main* topics i.e use of AmiBroker and/or it's application to trading.
I don't read the code examples very much but I do search the archives
from time to time for help with code.
However, I also value the community aspect of the forum where I can
see how other serious students from around the world approach their
trading and also swap a few tips on trading or hardware/software
issues.
I find the OT tips save me a lot of time, effort and money and
sometimes I am humbled by the specialist skills and knowledge of the
contributors.
As for my contributions?
I am a day by day proposition but I am not planning to do much more
with the TradingPsychology type material as I have already said
nearly everything worth saying. More importantly there is not a lot
of interest in the forum for that stuff, end of story.
I am actually drifting towards the idea of using the third party site
more and supplementing forum discussion with PDF's or video files.
If I do contribute in that way they would almost certainly be project
based examples of AmiBroker applications suitable for new-users.
Cheers,
Brian.
