Steve,
You ask a question. Someone answers in a way that he feels would be helpful, and you insult him because his answer is not the one you want. Please show some courtesy to people trying to be helpful, even if they do not satisfy you who have given them nothing positive in return.
You are showing a lack of understanding in that you don't know the right questions to ask in order to understand if AmiBroker is the right tool for you to dive in with. If people answer in a way that you think is beneath you, consider that if you ask an ignorant sounding question, someone, might just assume that you are in fact ignorant and want to help you understand what you don't know.
I know one trader who doubles his money every week. He does not use AmiBroker or any other sophisticated tool, just CCIs and hand drawn trend lines. He understands the flow of the markets and works hard all day at placing high reward/risk trades and is a very good trader (emotionally). I know other good traders that take a month to double their money --also with simple tools.
Could they be using AmiBroker for generating the charts and indicators and make these outrageous results? Yes, but you would be none the wiser for knowing that a half dozen traders were making fantastic returns using AmiBroker in this way.
AmiBroker is a good value tool for making it possible to try out a large range of trading styles. It is stable and well supported by the developer and the user community. If you don't already know how to make good money, AmiBroker is not going to do it for you. However, if you have an idea of how to make money, Amibroker is a tool you can use to test your ideas out without losing all your money on a bad idea.
If you don't like my reply to your impolite response, save your fingers, and just suck it up. Learn that this is a board that supports each other and helps the ignorant become literate in AmiBroker and AFL use. This is a valuable resource, treat it as such.
Dennis
PS. The super traders I know are polite, humble, and generous people. These must be important traits for super success in trading.

Steve,
What you are asking is similar to an engineer or architect pondering whether "AutoCAD will make my next design successful?" or an accountant/business manager wondering if "Sage can turn my business around?". Perhaps Geosoft might allow a geologist to find an ore deposit?
You don't "make good money" purely because of any software, not in any profession. Success *always* depends on the ability of the user. A well programmed application merely allows the user to express him/herself to their own personal maximum potential whilst keeping the complexity down to acceptable levels in order to do so. Trading software is no different to any other business application in that respect…from MS Word right up the scale of complexity.
So if Rakesh didn't answer your question then he answered the one that you *should* be asking.

Subject: Re: [amibroker] Is anyone here making good money using Amibroker?
Thanks Rakesh Sahgal for not answering my question... You say: "Your ability to make money wont be constrained by this software, if thats what you want to ask." No - that is not what I wanted to ask - if it was I would have. I asked what I wanted to which you did not answer. All I asked was whether anyone is doing well with this software - save me your pithy obvious comments. You also say: "Your success is a function of how good a trader/investor you are" - really I had never thought of that...do you normally speak to people as if they are stupid?

If you are asking "Is buying this software a license to print money?" , no it is not. Your success is a function of how good a trader/investor you are. Is this software comprehensive in terms of the features required to analyse the markets? Barring a few shortcomings it is fairly comprehensive in it's coverage and if you consider it's price it is very good value for money.
