[amibroker] Re: I think the real defect of Amibroker is charting

Wavemechanic has said what I can feel but I can not express clearly. 
 
The reason is that as an exclusive mechanical trader, personally I 
do not use charting a lot, but I have some other charting softwares 
installed in case I got some inspiration from the internet posts and 
want to look further into the idea. At that early stage of system 
development, a good chart is always very helpful. It is also at this 
moment that I feel the easiness of use of Amibroker charting may be 
something can be improved. I totally agree with Herman that almost 
nothing can not be achieved in AB, but remember, we are all more or 
less systematic-trading-oriented people here on this mail list, and 
if you ask some average retail trader, he may have a different 
opinion.

by "half" of the trading world.  I keep other programs running 
because of AB's mediocrity in the charting area, including chart 
quality, ease of use, and depth of studies.  I suspect that this is 
what itmwh and others have noted through the years.  These comments 
have, I am sure, been somewhat instrumental in precipitating the 
improvements that have been made.
