Hi
Steve,

You
echo my thoughts. I'm an engineer and it's not that I wouldn't learn AMIB,
but I'm not sure I want to. Time is a commodity. There is not
enough of it to go around and if we don't devote enough of it to our families,
then the things that we are trying to achieve are lost anyway. In this
market environment I have restricted myself to trading indexes. With the
volatility of the current market it doesn't pay for me to play stocks if I can't
watch in real time. I have done very well this year with the Profund bull
and bear mutuals and I don't have to spend much time at it.

Rick,
Two weeks ago, I gave an eight hour MetaStock
workshop to 81 participants. On January 11th, I expect the same kind of
numbers for my "advanced" seminar. I'm convinced that over half of the
people that attended the seminar actually trade. I've never
been convinced that anyone who post or uses AmiBroker trades these
markets.
AmiBroker is a great tool...if you have engineering
or programming background. MetaStock is certainly a better product for
the "average" investor. I've recommended, to engineers, that they
investigate AmiBroker. All of them have reverted back to the MetaStock
program. All of them have the same bitch: the learning curve is
much to steep. How are the "dimmer bulbs, like myself, supposed to come
up to speed on a program that even engineers find difficult?
I'll save my energy for trading. I've met
hundreds of people who use MetaStock to trade on a daily basis. I
haven't come across anyone who uses AmiBroker that trades the markets
actively. Most just "talk" a good game. The Denver Trading
Group (and yes, as the name implies...they trade) is a group that is 950
strong. A fair number of this group have tried/bought AmiBroker and
tossed it aside. In fact, I don't know anyone in the group that is using
it. You gotta question why.
Take care,
