I bought the program two years ago and I will probably be good for another year. There is no program that beats AB for value. Period. And I have used Metastock and a few others. If the cost of AB is a significant factor in your trading costs, you are almost certainly undercapitalized. --- In am

Well, we still have 4.86, 87, 88, and 89 to go first, so I would guess it will probably be around 5 months and possibly a few more. But these are just the minor upgrades, you get 5 major upgrades ( 4.9, 5.0, etc = 50 minor upgrades ) for free, and the minor upgrades are often quite major 8 -

Tomasz has spent 11 years working on Amibroker. Do you think that waiting for the next minor release in order to save some nominal "included upgrade" cost is going to make one iota of difference in its ability to help you make the more valuable decisions about what to do with 1000's of invest

Terry has the right idea.  However, for you when to buy analysis you should consider the cost of an upgrade not of the original software.  The upgrade costs only 1/2 the original, even less percentage wise for the pro version. TJ does a major version about twice a year.  So you get, on avera

If I had to buy the entire program for each upgrade it would still be CHEAP. $150 for the daily version. That's only 11 round-trip trade commissions at $7 per trade. I bought about two years ago (4.50). Still on my first 5 upgrades. Just buy it and you'll start saving more money than waiting for
