I have the same feelings as you do. However, in order for AB to compete in a better position in the market place, it is understandable that TJ has to put in the Wizard to broaden the range of potential customers. All other popular TA software have some form of Wizard one way or the other. Due to AB’s relatively low price point, this new feature will help AB’s long term survival greatly. TJ’s decision does make good business sense, IMO.

 

As a system trader and long time AB user, I am more interested in seeing more improvements in the Back testing engine, which has yet happened in the last few beta releases. I am still using 4.90.5 in my actual trading and see no benefits in upgrading to latest betas for my style of trading. I do hope TJ can get back to those advanced enhancements soon once the Wizard settles down.

Hello TJ,

I know that you are getting 'kudos' for the 'dumbing down' AFL Wizard,
but I don't mind being the one to argue the case that you may have
just created the single biggest obstacle to progressive future
upgrades in AB capability.

You have now created a tool for the 'programming illiterate' group of
users, who will from this day forward, demand more and more
enhancements to the wizard to compensate for their inability to
comprehend AFL's programatic complexities.

I understand your need to draw in the maximum number of customers with
easy to use 'wizards', but to create a 'wizard' that really uses the
full capability of AFL, your development time will from now on be
severely taxed by the 'wizard' crowd.

I wish you luck in your efforts.

Best Regards
