  1. hi all,

    i wish to trade using tools that give me insights... ( will not follow blindly )

    i wish to use these tools

    -auto chart pattern recognition
    -neural nets
    -scanner
    -elliot wave and fibonacci
    -gann charts

    i have checked neuroshell, multicharts, metastock pro 11 and motivewave

    i like a abit of everything.. but none is all encompassing

    the closest i can find is metastock pro 11 with all the addon that i need.. but their neural nets add on is not as good as neuroshell

    also, cost extra to hook up metastock to IB via ondemand server.

    any suggestions for me? last resort is to buy metastock plus neuroshell plus ondemand server.. but it could be a waste of money and i really like it to have everything in one system... and not pull the same ticker in three systems....

    any good ideas? thanks in advance

    What kind of patterns? No matter what, everything can be coded in AB.

    What kind of scans? No matter what, everything can be coded in AB.

    There are some AFL scripts available. (I don't use it. belongs to esoteric area.)

    Do you mean Gann square, Gann fan? Those are built into AB. What else is Gann related? (Sorry I'm not into esoteric stuff. never used it.)

    Gann Swing chart
    Code:
    _SECTION_BEGIN("Price");
    SetChartOptions(0,chartShowArrows|chartShowDates);
    _N(Title = StrFormat("{{NAME}} - {{INTERVAL}} {{DATE}} Open %g, Hi %g, Lo %g,
    Close %g (%.1f%%) {{VALUES}}", O, H, L, C, SelectedValue( ROC( C, 1 ) ) ));
    Plot( C, "Close", ParamColor("Color", colorBlack ), styleNoTitle |
    ParamStyle("Style") | GetPriceStyle() );
    _SECTION_END();
    
    _SECTION_BEGIN("Gann Swing");
    SetChartOptions(0,chartShowArrows|chartShowDates);
    _N(Title = StrFormat("{{NAME}} - {{INTERVAL}} {{DATE}} Open %g, Hi %g, Lo %g, Close %g (%.1f%%) {{VALUES}}", O, H, L, C, SelectedValue( ROC( C, 1 ) ) ));
