Amibroker

Recommended Posts

I use AmiBroker for charting, scanning, backtesting, and automated trading. I use other software also but AmiBroker is my favorite. I really like being able to backtest new trading ideas, making my own custom indicators and applying the winners to a trading system or automating them.

hanz,

 

If you are still tuned in, i have used amibroker since 2001. It really depends on your needs and interests, of course, but for me there is nothing better. And i don't even use the most popular capabilities of the program - the portfolio level backtesting capabilities. I am a position trader/trend follower and use it for visual analysis of price and volume with a few custom indicators - which i could not have designed using other programs that i know of. If you have programming skills, your options are endless with integration to scripting languages, user-defined data feeds, etc. And if you aren't a programmer (like me) there is a very active and helpful user group on yahoo where you can get answers to your questions, provided you have made an effort on your own to find an answer.

 

It's closest competitor in probably MetaStock, but it is much more versatile and powerful. The author of the progam (from Poland) is amazingly responsive to the user community and is very active in the discussion group. The price is also very attractive compared to charting/systems design software with lesser capabilities.

 

Hope this helps - SloMo

I swing trade and AB works fine.... It's mere charting software... It's fast and nimble....

 

I strategy trade with it... Thought the AT isnt "there" yet, but who cares, I can have 18 charts gong at once and the updates are PRECISE.... Doesnt burden the PC.....

 

Great software. I have toyed with a lot of pkgs... ended up looking at AB, Multicharts and Ninja Trader... I settled with AB....

I've been using it for awhile and like the charting package. If your a trader definitely get the professional version. You can do real time scans. If you have a programming background you probably like Amibroker very quickly.

    • It depends. If you have lots of money that you can buy a house without a loan and if you don't have any parents to sponsor then it is a good idea. Otherwise it might be a bad idea depending where in Canada you are heading to. I earned a good middle income in my home country and I migrated to Vancouver 5 years ago at the age of 35. I had to start right from the bottom, lowest of the low.. Now i am finally earning a middle income in Canada but I still cannot afford to buy a one bedroom apartment. Having left behind friends, family and home, most of the times I think it is not worth it.   In short, do not migrate if you already have a good life in your home country and you are happy. Only migrate to Canada if you really have to leave your home country say there is a war or something really bad. Discrimination still exists here and its really tough for newcomers unless you are super rich. Good luck. David Chong, Quora  
    • This is bigger than the internet. Bigger than mobile. Bigger than social media.   While everyone was distracted by stock market fluctuations and political theater…   Most people have NO IDEA what just happened last week with ChatGPT.   Their new memory feature allows ChatGPT to remember EVERYTHING about you across all your conversations.   Think about that for a minute...   While most tech companies have been collecting mere breadcrumbs about you - your likes, your clicks, your browsing history - OpenAI is now collecting the most valuable dataset in human history: your complete psychological profile.   This is Zuckerberg x 5,000.   The more you use ChatGPT, the more it understands you, becoming a supercharged reflection of yourself that improves at an exponential rate.   Are you a regular ChatGPT user?   Consider whether it’s time to turn off the “you can train on my information” feature. To prevent your data from being used for training while still using the memory feature:   Disable Model Training: Navigate to Settings > Data Controls. Toggle off "Improve the model for everyone". Manage Memory Settings: Go to Settings > Personalization > Memory. Here, you can: Turn off memory entirely. Delete specific memories. Use Temporary Chat for sessions that won't be saved or used for training. Now the investment implications…   Why This is Bigger Than You Think Consider this: the relationship between humans and ChatGPT is evolving beyond a mere tool.   People are now treating these AI assistants as friends, confidants, and even romantic partners.   I'm not making this up - there are already documented cases of people ending real human relationships to pursue “connections” with their AI companions.   A viral Instagram meme shows a person going through life with a glowing, featureless humanoid figure - representing ChatGPT - as their companion.   The post has over 1.1 million likes and comments like "Bro ChatGPT is like my best friend. Ain't even ashamed to say it" with 25,000 likes.   But here's where things get really interesting for investors and entrepreneurs...   Three Things to Watch For starters, hardware is the next big thing for the big players.   The iPhone form factor is dead.   It hasn't meaningfully changed in nearly a decade. The next evolution in hardware will be designed specifically to interface with these AI companions.   OpenAI is already working on hardware with Johnny Ive, the legendary designer behind the iPhone and iPod. But you can’t ignore Elon Musk’s edge here.   So what does all of this mean for you?   The companies that control the personal AI relationships will be worth trillions. OpenAI and Elon Musk will have the coziest moats. We're witnessing the birth of a new internet - one built on agents that can communicate with each other across platforms. Google's new agent-to-agent protocol allows AI agents to work together without sharing internal memories or tools. The hardware companies that create the perfect interface for these AI companions will dominate the next decade of technology. And almost nobody is talking about what this means.   My prediction? Within five years, most people will have a personal AI that knows them better than anyone else. And they will interact with it in ways that seem foreign today.   (And, yes, it will almost certainly have dystopian elements.)   In the meantime, the biggest gains won’t come from household names. And, right now, James is seeing a prime opportunity to invest in the most under-the-radar plays in AI…   For dirt cheap. By Chris C.
