I think trading blox is a bit too expensive for me, but Tradersstudio seems interesting! Will have to look into tradersstudio too before I decide. Thank you.
Sounds like very good advice! Thank you. Convergence will be in the back of my head when I start testing. But, AmiBroker or Tradersstudio. Is there much that separates these two? (Will check out the thread with reviews of programs one more time too) I am not a programmer. But I am willing to learn whatever is necessary. Wondering what others think is best.
If you want you can PM me any questions you have I will be happy to answer them. I think TradersStudio is your best choice.

Thank you! Program seems great. But where do I get the historical data and daily quotes for Norwegian stocks? Amibroker is quite easy to use with yahoo. I don't have that many questions at the moment, just want to make sure the practical things (like historical data) is in place before I buy something. Lots of questions will probably arise as soon as I start to try and backtest.
I looked up and found a few links which will be helpful for you to get the international data from Yahoo into TradersStudio http://www.gummy-stuff.org/Yahoo-data.htm http://www.dailysofts.com/program/359/22618/Stock_Updater.html http://www.freedownloadmanager.org/downloads/HQuote_Pro_Historical_Stock_Prices_Downloader_28642_p/ Note , I have no connection to any of these products but I search google for you and I think these will address your issues. I hope you decide to try TradersStudio and join our growing family soon.
Thanks again I see that from yahoo I can download the files as .csv and from my broker I can download quotefiles as .xls. Are these importable into your program? I will try to search a bit on the internet too.
Ok. Another silly question: won't all of it be messed up since things like close, opening, volume and so on is in Norwegian? Of course I could change it manually too.
So , prices are in your currency is that the point ?. If you sent up the data universe correctly it should not matter.
I'll start with a question... Have you ever worked hard on becoming good at the previous set of "styles" you were trading based on? You mention Elliott or Gann... let me test you how well you know both of them... "In terms of Fib. ratio and Gann Angles, what is the gnomonic basis common in both techniques? Which Gann Master chart is this related to?" My point is... how committed are you to systematic trading? Can you endure 3 years losing money, as part of your learning curve?
