Used it in the past for trading stocks. One of the best out there, especially for the money.
Very solid, also very comprehensive, so expect a steeper learning curve.
Real gem in this marketplace. |

Amibroker, in conjunction with good data, is a very efficient and effective software package. It can handle a wide variety of data sources... Data selection is a critical part of trading. The old addage "garbage in garbage out" certainly applies.
Its new multithreading capabilities mean backtesting and optimization is very efficient.
And at its price, it rivals (and surpasses) software over 5-10 times its price. |

I have been using Amibroker since 2003 and was fortunate in having been introduced to this software by 'kaveman'. Google the key words and you will know what I mean. Kaveman and I became great friends as he lived reasonably close by and between us we have designed and written hundreds of pages of formulas and scores of concepts for my use. I am only a very tiny shadow of Kave's formula writing. Amibroker is a fantastic piece of software but it is not easy to learn. There are a couple of books published which go into the formula writing etc by Howard Bandy which aren't too bad. The beauty of Amibroker is it is very customizable and the processing speed is incredible, the range of formulas you can experiment with seems to know no end. Amibroker is one of those bits of software which has so many features, most likely you will only use less than 10%. Because of its complexity, I have it now set up in a certain mode and don't venture past that in case I upset my settings. At one point in time I did numerous backtests, in the hundreds, it is extremely fast in that area, but now don't do these as there is not the need. You get to know what does and doesn't work. The strengths of Amibroker for me has been the ability to devise great stock scanners and to experiment with trading concepts. The downside is the complexity of learning the formulas. Amibroker in itself becomes a hobby and the formula writing very much fun once you get it. For new aspiring Amibroker enthusiasts, I would suggest download some ready made formulas, then study those by going into the formula editor and by playing around and copy and paste you will get a good idea how the code works. I would only recommend Amibroker if you are a bit of a trading and coding nerd and love designing stuff, otherwise maybe try something else as this software will soak up your time. |
