Hi, are you just starting out with trading using technical analysis? I've been actively trading on the NYSE stock exchange for many years now. When I first started, I wanted to ensure I was choosing the best software there was out there. After some research, I found that alot of people were recommending Amibroker. So I purchased a copy for myself. I've been using Amibroker successfully since then.
If you search through forums, and blogs, you'll find that many people are still recommending Amibroker as their preferred technical analysis software. Today, I've decided to write an article recommending Amibroker as well. Please note that I'm not associated with the company in any way. I am not getting paid to recommend their software. In my opinion, it is honestly a great software package. If you don't believe me, simply search for reviews on it on your search engine, and you'll find many others share the same view.
Why is amibroker so great? Because its affordable, value for money, and it works. Because so many people use it, there's loads of help and tutorials out there on how to use the software. You simply need to ask, and someone will help use the software. You don't need to pay thousands of dollars for software that is so complex you don't know how to use it. I've come across many people who have attended sales seminars, only to be sucked into their glamorous sales pitches. After buying their software for thousands of dollars, they find the software is so complex they can't use it. They seek help, only to find they are given a huge, and complex maual.
With amibroker, its used by everyday traders like yourself. They speak in your language, not the high level complex language of manuals. I recommend you check it out for yourself.
If you do decide to use Amibroker as your
technical analysis software, you can get
historical data, and use it to test out the application.
Best of luck with your future trades.
