Trading Platform: AmiBroker
CodeForTraders is very pleased to be able to introduce
you to the powerful AmiBroker platform.
What It Is
AmiBroker is a market charting, research, and
analysis program (not a data provider, not a
broker), that offers a long list of advanced
features at an incredibly inexpensive price.
AmiBroker
works with a data provider(s) of your choice (on the
input side), and a brokerage of your choice (on the
output side), to let you write, visualize, and
execute almost any kind of market analysis or
trading system that you might desire.

What It
Looks
Like
The
charts, of course, can look practically any way you
want them to. Here's one possibility:
Portfolio backtesting (as well as scans,
explorations, optimization, and saved report access)
is accomplished via the Automatic Analysis window:
Here
we see some results of a portfolio backtest, with
portfolio size of 2:
Here
we see some results of an individual backtest
(automatically, on every stock in a list), listing
all system trades for each symbol without regard to
portfolio cash limitations:
3-D
Visualization of 2-parameter optimization results:
"Explorations" let you see any calculation you want,
on any set of symbols you want, as of any date/time
you want:
Innovations
Here
are a few things about AmiBroker that I think are
really impressive::
|
Report Explorer handily saves results from every
test you ever run. Simply delete the ones of
no further interest and you have a built-in record
of everything good you ever find! |
|
AFL code is stored on your disk as text files.
You can apply search tools and other text tools to
it, and there is never any issue or hassle with
moving it into or out of a proprietary library
format. |
|
Multiple-timeframe support is dead-simple, via the
TimeFrameCompress() and TimeFrameExpand()
functions. No extra charts or complicated
code required! |
|
Bar Replay: |
|
OLE Automation Object Model |
|
Ability to add user-defined metrics to backtest/optimization
report |
|
Customers have online access to AmiBroker's
complete bug and suggestion database, with the
ability to submit bugs and suggestions, comment on
existing bugs and suggestions, and track the
status of all of them! |
What It Costs
Only
$279 for the AmiBroker Pro platform. No,
that's not a typo, I'll spell it out for you: only
two hundred seventy-nine dollars for
this astoundingly powerful, flexible and
easy-to-use, full-blown trading platform.
When
a good friend of mine first told me about the
power and price of AmiBroker, I could hardly believe
it. "What's the catch?", I thought. Well
folks, I've checked it out, and the only catch is
that you need to open your mind to a much larger
concept of what is possible (you can do it!).
AmiBroker is leverage writ large, multiple man-years
of work by a Ph.D. in Computer Science, at a cost
usually associated with only a few hours of skilled time.
AmiBroker's creator, Tomasz Janeczko, states:
"We
are totally focused on creating advanced, highly
customizable technical analysis software. Our
mission is to bring high quality software at a price
affordable for every individual investor."
Hey
Tomasz, - MISSION
ACCOMPLISHED!
