I know that wealth-lab is very efficient for system development and backtesting. I would like to know if it is worth getting for a discretionary approach where no system is being developed in the mechanical/programming sense, but just for its charting capabilities. Are any very discretionary, non-system traders using this software or is it not worth it because so many of the features would go unused?
As a WLD code writer, I feel WLD is a very flexible chart software. You can control almost everything via code basis. Probably, you can start copy and pasting sample code and learn. Unfortunately, the smoothness of scroll or zoom-in-out is not as good as Qchart and eSignal. If you insist to use WLD without tweaking code at all, $650 is expensive just to see chart. Good luck, Ken
As for the charting I would like to inform you that we are planning to includein version 3: EquiVolume EquiCandle Kagi 3-Line Break Out P&F and it is looking good. Volker
