Wavemechanic has said what I can feel but I can not express clearly. The reason is that as an exclusive mechanical trader, personally I do not use charting a lot, but I have some other charting softwares installed in case I got some inspiration from the internet posts and want to look further into the idea. At that early stage of system development, a good chart is always very helpful. It is also at this moment that I feel the easiness of use of Amibroker charting may be something can be improved. I totally agree with Herman that almost nothing can not be achieved in AB, but remember, we are all more or less systematic-trading-oriented people here on this mail list, and if you ask some average retail trader, he may have a different opinion.

I keep other programs running because of AB's mediocrity in the charting area, including chart quality, ease of use, and depth of studies. I suspect that this is what itmwh and others have noted through the years. These comments have, I am sure, been somewhat instrumental in precipitating the improvements that have been made. > > > > > - dynamically reference range used by formulas via charts; > > - reference studies in formula e.g. resistance line drawn on chart; > > - multitab chart sheets; > > - customise toolbar buttons etc? > > > > > I don't mind constructive criticism though, especially if some good > > suggestions come out of it as per Rik and Hermans posts. > > > > > > Brian. > > > > > > --- In amibroker@yahoogroups.com, "itmwh" <toxutao@> wrote: > >> > >> I think amibroker as a system developing/backtesting/automatic > >> excecution software is superb, actually, in my opinion, best in the > >> market, especially considering the price.
