Hemant,

I've recently been playing around with LINQ in C# 2008 Express and it 
is FANTASTIC for what I need that Amibroker (or any other T/A package 
for that matter) cannot provide.

I can pull in a year's worth (or more if I want) of tick data and 
other timeframe data over the same period I want into collections and 
then go about finding out whether the supports and resistances I'm 
wanting to take go in my favor first before stopping my trade out. 
One must analyze the individual transactions in the tick data to do 
this kind of thing...open/high/low/close doesn't cut it because what 
you're interested in looking at is the stream of transactions from 
your entry point and on.   

What I sacrifice in any speed is more than made up for by being able 
to easily express what I want to choose out of the data in a SQL form 
on the data collections.  Without LINQ, all of this would have been 
super time-consuming to express in C# (or VB.NET 2008 if that is what 
someone else prefers).

Technical analysis packages cater to the open/high/low/close 
mentality whereas, in truth, the market is a completely unstructured 
flow of price data.  What I "get back" from using LINQ and C# in this 
way is that "unstructured-ness" and the true picture of what happens 
to my trade from the exact point of entry.
