No. I just use both programs. Analytically, Amibroker
is seems stronger. I like the Metastock charting,
downloader and general interface better.
But after using metastock since version 3, I find
AmiBroker development, flexibility and support quite
refreshing.
If other programs have capabilities missing in
Metastock, isn't it a good idea to point those things
out so Metastock users can try to influence future
versions of Metastock?
