No. I just use both programs. Analytically,
Amibrokeris seems stronger. I like the Metastock
charting,downloader and general interface better. But after
using metastock since version 3, I findAmiBroker development, flexibility
and support quiterefreshing.If other programs have capabilities
missing inMetastock, isn't it a good idea to point those thingsout so
Metastock users can try to influence futureversions of
Metastock?--- Robert Badgley <<A
