Dave:
Have you compared AmiBroker with Tickquest? On
"paper" they sound quite similar.

Subject: Re: System testing
Philip,Yes, Tradestation is an option. I
currently own TS4 in addition to Metastock. It does have
thelimitation of looking back at only 13,000 bars, which is fine from an
EOD perspective, but not sogood on 1 minute or 5 minute data.
TS2000i is pricey when purchased new and still a bit buggy,but eminently
capable for testing purposes. Recently, Omega (or Tradestation
Technologies as theyare now known) has objected to sales of used
Tradestations on eBay, so they've all been pulled.You might check out
AmiBroker if you are doing EOD work. Several Metastock users have said
somevery positive things about its capabilities. <A
href="http://www.amibroker.com";>www.amibroker.comAnother option
that I've recently started looking at is NeoTick RT which sells for only $650
forthe realtime version, and $80 for the EOD version. <A
href="http://www.tickquest.com";>www.tickquest.com This supports VB
andJavaScript which may be an alternative to EasyLanguage.Finally,
if you are so inclined, you might consider the Metastock Developer's
Kit. LearningPowerBasic won't be much different from EasyLanguage,
or even Delphi (EL is derived from Pascal)might not be much
different.That said, EL isn't really that difficult to learn.
You'll get deeper and deeper as you needfeatures, but you'll be building
on simpler things that make it easy to start. As an example, foryour
entry, the EasyLanguage code isIf YourEntrySignal then buy at High + 1
