Hello,
I would say that you would need Howard's book sooner or
later is you are serious about building your own trading system.

book?
Hi MyTake --
My
book is intended to be about system design, testing, and validation. The
AmiBroker needed to illustrate the points I make is developed from scratch,
all within the book. While the book is not intended to be either a
beginners guide to AmiBroker, or a complete guide to AmiBroker, I believe it
is digestible by a beginner.
Let me put that another way -- in
order to be successful using AmiBroker to develop real trading systems, a
person will need to become proficient enough in AmiBroker that they will be
able to understand at least a good portion of the book. That's the
nice way of saying that if a person cannot understand the book, then they will
probably have trouble building robust trading systems. I think the
AmiBroker content in the book stands on its own, and I recommend it to all
levels of AmiBroker users.
I know Bill Barack, have talked with
him at length, and have been in the audience as he and Bruce Robinson
presented AmiBroker 101. Bill and Bruce's presentation is
outstanding. I also know Richard Boroff and know Richard was working
very hard to get a high quality recording of this year's Conference and
workshop.
Thanks,
Howard
