I forgot to mention Howard's book QUANTITATIVE TRADING SYSTEMS, which
was another important addition to the AmiBroker *Knowledge Base*
within the last twelve months.
I think there was a lot of altruism behind Howard's decision to write.
Gee, you new users have it easy today.
Things were a lot tougher in my day, let me tell you.
Also I will benefit from the Users' Knowledge Base thanks to the
generosity of people like Herman and Dingo who give up their own time
to help others along the way.
