Ton,

You can import your portfolio and prices from your broker too into Fund Manager if you like

It also has charting too, the charting is not as in depth as AB though

Thanks Mark. Multi currency capability. Sounds good. I prefer to have prices synchronized. But after what I have found that's not a big deal. Exporting prices from Broker and importing them in Fund Manager. Yes I will try Fund Manager and let you know the result ...

Regards, Ton.

You have the capability from what I can see for multi currency

I do not import or export from AB to Fund Manager

Fund Manager ( professional) uses Google real time and historical data

I have it set up to pull prices every 5 min

Also will send me alerts to my e-mail when a price is triggered

They have a very nice free trial and from what I remember there are no restrictions during the trial

Thanks a lot Mark. Yes 'Portfolio Manager' for me is the dark site of Amibroker. And yes lot's of reactions do underline this thesis. Frankly I never found a good solution that could be fully integrated in Amibroker. Before starting with the next trail, please let me know if underneath text from Fund Manager is correct :

Importing prices refers to the process of importing prices from a file into Fund Manager investments. There are many sources of files that Fund Manager can import from, and they are listed below. Generally, importing is a two step process, obtaining the file of prices from the source, and then performing the price update (import). Below are links to detailed instructions on how to accomplish each step for all supported sources.

So is exporting/importing the Amibroker database to Fund Manager doable ? Also, does Fund Manager give you multi currency support ?

Regards, Ton.

I had posted questions about the Portfolio manager and the limitations some months ago

Never saw a response

Though I did get numerous responses offline from members

All were disappointed with AB?s portfolio manager and thought it was useless-

I then tried numerous other portfolio manager software

And personally went with this one

http://www.fundmanagersoftware.com/index.html

There were others that were more expensive and others that were less expensive

To me this was what I needed
