Thanks guys for your response. If you guys don't mind, I have some more questions I would like to ask.
pavelmanas,
"You can get a good indication about the languge if you check the
Stocks&Commmodities magazine."
I took Your Advice and look at some back Issues of S@xx it does seems as if Amibroker is always in the top 2 of the shortest of code (at least the back issues I checked). Thanks for the suggestion.
Steve Dugas,
Please escuse me but what is a NDO and CBT ? How have the issues you describe affect how you use Amibroker? Is there a work around for this? Thank You.
brian_z111,
Thank You for your response, I will take a look at the feedback center. Thank You for bringing it to my attention.

I read the DOC file you had with the plug in. Even though I must admit a lot of this seems over my head, it looks interesting and I shall put it on my to do list. Beside the introduction to R, and the books you mention so far. Do you have any other book recommendations. Thank You

I was not comparing MS to Amibroker. Thank you on your suggestion on checking out the UKB.
Again I would like to thank everyone.

I have gone through the typical cycle of people getting into trading (buying advice, buying black box system, looking for the holy grail, etc) and losing money the whole time. Recently ( last 4 years or so) I have become moderately successful with a intermediate to long term trend following system that I use on stocks. However I could never break that barrier to ultimate success (consistency). I have come to relies (right or wrongly) that a system is more than a pair of entry and exit rules it must account for money management and position sizing as well(if you guys would like to add anything that cool). I also relies the limited capabilities in my (then) current software program Metastock. With Metastock I had no way to thoroughly back test all of my ideas over a portfolio of stock to see what would happened. I had no way to program inside Metastock the various rules that I used to trade stocks. I believe that of all the things that lead to my inconsistent performance, the lack of the proper software was probably number 2 contributor to my current situation (number 1 is me lol).

To my surprise it seems as if Amibroker not only meets these criteria but exceeds them. Which leads me to my question. What Cant Amibroker do? Put another way what are the limitation inherent in Amibroker?
