would appreciate that greatly. any help getting more proficient with the application would be appreciated. do you have any coders you recommend? I have some stuff i would like to pay someone to do.

I use these guys https://http://amibrokercoding.com/

I'm am biased though, I've been a client of Nick's for nearly seven years.

I also have the 20%Flipper, and a BB Squeeze that they coded for me.

Very nice work.

Still send it to me next time and it will be done at half the rate or even lower. Well even AB's own custom coding rate is lower than the one of those guys.

Thanks, will keep that in mind. Like I said, I know Nick quite well. He's well known in the Australian trading community as well. My view is biased.

How long have you been coding with amibroker?

We should get some amibroker code up in the download section. Maybe you could post the better Dave Landry scan that you found...

For scanning stocks Amibroker is an ideal tool.
I use it also for prototyping trading strategies.
If they seem to be profitable I code them in Multicharts.NET.
In that way I have a second opinion on my backtesting results.

And AFL is really easy to code, The code is just much shorter.
On the other hand I do not use Amibroker for trading because
in my opinion the charting feels just better in Multicharts.
The Realtimescanner is for life trading after having filled it with the
prefiltered stocks (by amibroker) just the better solution than using the
scanner of Amibroker.

But one feature I miss in Amibroker.
I have not found a suitable way to build an indicator using
intraday timeframes shown on an daily chart.
It is possible but the workaround solution link to multiple timeframe indicators is in my opinion not very elegant.

But this can be done better with ninjatrader or Multicharts.NET.

Haven't found a different code. I said that it is not done effectively by those two users who have uploaded their versions to the library.

Have tried MC and IMO the charting in MC is more stiff and don't get me started on speed.

Just show an example please (not AB). Do you mean plotting on a chart?
