I will add my voice to this... I am relatively new to AmiBroker having
spent a lot of time looking at OpenQuant, NinjaTrader etc...
I think AmiBroker is nothing short of phenominal value.
Tomasz and Marcin do a fabulous job of supporting a very good product.

satisfied. This may not be a great argument in this discussion, but
this is my best one. AB rocks!
