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 somewhat
systematic-trading-oriented people here on this mail list, and if you ask some
average retail trader, he may have a different opinion.

Trading oriented features, but not charting which is used by "half" of the
trading world. 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.
