Three separate threads bashing Amibroker without any information or counter on the platform - you have an axe to grind?

Couldn't really disagree more with the last comment - Amibroker is a fine program and a great value. The Yahoo Group is not inactive - in fact it is very active - are you sure you're looking in the right place.

I can't comment on TS - I believe it can do it as well. With Ami, you can plot it as any other price.

Amibroker should do what you are outlining - you can import your trade signals as a custom equity (say ~mytradesignals) - and then chart them, or use them to program/backtest a system. If your trade signals are, say, a range of 0 (meaning sell) and 1 (meaning buy), then it should be really simple.

Yeah, I never figured out a way to look at historical data with AB, so I'm using Stockfetcher as well. I agree with the other poster that Yahoo is the best free source available out there. I also like that they offer both adjusted and non-adjusted data.

I believe this is only current fundamental data - which is why I've been looking at other tools, but I'd love to be proven wrong on this.

If you are using Amiquote (which I recommend), you can just update the database and it will only update the missing info.

Well, take a class is epistemology and then tell me what you know. :) Your second point - that there is new information that overturns the global climate change thesis - as far as I can see (in reading major papers), while there are minor squabbles over different aspects of climate change...

Quite right - it is not an assumption - I misread the sentence. But if you are going to project that fact into the future, it is a prediction, albeit one with as close to certainty as possible. There have been many facts in the past that have been overturned by new knowledge or new discovery...

What makes you think sunspot activity is being ignored? It has been extensively studied and the output of the sun is incorporated into the IPCC models. "Many climate scientists agree that sunspots and solar wind could be playing a role in climate change, but the vast majority view it as very...

Can you point to a creditable scientific study that shows sunspot activity is a large contributor to global climate change? Can you point to scientific papers which identify and quantify these other contributing factors that you mention? If you cannot, then why do you believe these factors...

So if you agree that the climate is changing and that most scientists are acting in good faith, then how do you reconcile that with a position of being a global climate change skeptic? Maybe you are not, but looking at your prior posts, you seem to be. For most of the scientific community...

Most climate scientists I've read speak about how their models have been tracking to actuals, and talk about predictions from their models with degrees of confidences, error ranges, and other statistical qualifications. They also usually look at multiple scenarios that represent a low, median...

When you say night follows day, and, specifically, that the sun will come up tomorrow, you're still making a prediction. You're just making a prediction with a extremely, extremely high degree of confidence. At some point in the future, maybe when the sun burns out, or some other event...

Great post on Amibroker - I would only add that it can be used for Forex, and that Trading Blox, I believe, can now deal with fundamental information.

Ninja is a good choice - I'd also mention Amibroker which can connect to IB as well. The code for a ratio is simple: fc = foreign("StockB","C"); ratio = C / fc; plot(ratio,styleline,colorblue); (The plot command may be off - I'm not in front of my normal computer). You could then add...

Not always possible for me with my position sizing, but I see your point.

Thanks - I mean on market open as a market order - as in at 9:30am. I'll try out Island for a specific routing to avoid the NYSE specialists.

I was using SMART to route the orders - the stocks are largely irrelevant in my mind, but for this case, I was buying RNR and DENN on the open.
