Title: Re: Fw: Re[2]: [amibroker] Re: How NOT to show all the built-in metrics in the backtester?

I wrote 'half' a dozen ;-) Personally I have used the following languages/tools:


AFL, CBT, OLE, GFX, Walk Forward engine, DLLs (C), _javascript_, VB, .... I probably miss some and I see others mentioned on this list.   


All this versatility is great when used to implement complex systems. But too often these complex tools are expected to be used to implement simple/basic functions, like controlling columns in a report. 


Best regards,

herman
