MultiCharts Standard vs MultiCharts.NET

I am having a huge problem with MultiCharts right now, it seems that the data will not stay updated in MultiCharts at all. They have continually had data problems maybe it's because they accept some manay data sources that they don't do any of them very well.

Was this in all releases or just the MC-11 release ?
It is certainly a huge issue !!

I get that a lot....and never any specifics.
I've coded some pretty hairy indicators and signals in EL....and never ran into a limitation or problem.
Note: Moving to dot-net is a daunting and time-consuming endeavor....not sure it's worth it for me who is a scripting guru. Instead of trading, I'd be learning dot-net for the next 12 months....not good.
Also, interestingly.....Amibroker is one-fifth the price of Multicharts lifetime.
Can it be that good at that price ?

It is a bargain IMHO, at least for backtesting.

You do not get lifetime updates with Amibroker, so that is why it is cheaper. You need to renew your license for updates.
Backtesting/optimzation is very fast. It also has a large worldwide user base. Multiple timeframes from one datastream is also very nice.
 
Yeah, I see your point, but I'm not psyched at all about having to change all of my Easy Language code (which compiled perfectly into MC the first time !).
I wish Amibroker would abstract their platform code so that all brokers APIs are supported without any special coding required.
 
Omigosh, on the Amibroker forums....all they do is give you links to unrelated issues as their "answers"....plus there is a lot of taunting and insulting going on there.
STAY AWAY....It's a sleazy community IMHO....unlike the MC community...who act in a professional manner.
