Same here.
Frankly, I wish MS would simply fix the bugs that have been noted a year
ago. When bugs are found in AmiBroker they are fixed in about 72 hours which
are easily downloaded and patched from a web site. Try that in MS.
It would be nice to stay with MS since I had bought into the program at 6.5
and spent so much time developing indicators and systems, but my desire to
evolve into dynamic/adaptive systems meant that I need to move on. If pretty
charts and basic indicators is your limit, stay with MS. I waited long
enough and it was time to take the training wheels off. You'd be surprised
how many familiar names decided the same thing.
Do expect to exert more effort into programming because it does more. And
because it does more, there are more possibilities.
And no, I don't get commission, own the company, sell for the company, or
date the owner's daughter, either.
