David,
I don't think Metastock has changed significantly for a long time - all the
changes have been what I would class as cosmetic peripheral stuff - none of
the essential fundamental TA facilities have advanced at all e.g. system
tester, Formula Lanuguage. The MS exits still work the same.
IMO Equis is not the company it was - I think the new Reuters masters have
different business priorities and product development plans from the Equis
of old i.e. now it is web centric software and information/data feed
services. For this reason I would be surprsied if Equis ever produces any
really significant updates to the MS EOD version - goodness knows users have
been asking long enough for some pretty basic enhancements and they've all
fell on deaf ears.
With regard to Amibroker it is a *far* more capable TA and Trading System
development tool than MS in all respects except charting. However Amibroker
is scheduled to get a new charting engine next year which, judging by other
aspects of the AB product, will be at least be the equal of MS charting.
There is also a RT version of Amibroker coming very soon and money
management. The *key* point about Amibroker is the attitude (and ability) of
the developer - he listens to what his users want, discusses release
schedules openly and delivers on his promises - the complete opposite to
Equis IMO.
The only reason I continue to use MS is for charting. Once AB charting is
enhanced I expect to drop MS altogether.
BTW entries and exits in Amibroker can be programmed to virtually anything
you want.
HTH
John
