This is not the Amibroker discussion site.  
This is Metastock if you want to use Amibroker go ahead but in the long run 
guess who will still be around in a year. Use your heads it takes alot of money 
to stay in business you will get all set up with Amibroker and then gome with 
the wind. Metastock has bugs but then again so does Microsoft.

  In 
  the interest of full disclosure, Do you have any financial or personal 
  interest in AmiBroker? Also, if it is so good, do you continue with MetaStock? 
  Why?

    Have to disagree.  Take a look at what a 
    one-man shop can do by looking at <A 
    href="http://www.amibroker.com";>www.amibroker.com and their Yahoo 
    group.  As always, the problem lies with 
    management.

      You may be wrong.  We are not keeping 
      enough Equis people employed. While the number of employees is not under 
      our control, there are not enough Equis employees to bring this program up 
      to snuff.

        You receive a warm fuzzy feeling when you 
        think of the Equis people that you helped keep employed.  
        
         
        Keep your eye on the up and comers like 
        AmiBroker.  It already beats Metastock in the programming and 
        system testing areas, and if they get their act together and do the same 
        for charting it will be a real alternative to future 
        upgrades.

          Lionel,
           
          Your point is well taken. I wonder what I 
          got for that last upgrade, and what, if anything, I will get with the 
          next one.

              Sean,
               
              Sorry to say, but my modem got zapped 
              by a lightning surge, I had to reinstall Windows, and I lost my 
              e-mail files. Thus I can't give you the direct quote of what Equis 
              said. However, I'll give you my interpretation plus my opinions. 
              You may want to go directly to Equis for 
              clarification/confirmation.
               
              1. Equis said that the indicators 
              that can be downloaded from the May 2000 article were written at 
              some later time, and may not be a direct copy of what Ehlers 
              wrote.
               
              2. The Cycle Length Indicator from 
              the May 2000 does not agree with the one that can be downloaded 
              for the March 2000 article, according to my 
              observations.
               
              3. The Sinewave Generator from the 
              May 2000 download does not agree with the MESA Sinewave indicator 
              that is contained in the Metastock indicator list, again according 
              to my 
              observations.
               
              4. My 
              impression is that someone at Equis who 
              didn't understand the article did the programming. They did not 
              talk to John Ehlers about this.
               
              5. Equis said that their programmers 
              are working on other things now, are very busy, and won't be able 
              to look into this anytime soon.
               
              6. I have found two other errors in 
              Metastock's programming lately.
               
              7. My overall conclusion is that you 
              shouldn't trust any <FONT 
              color=#000000>of their indicators; program it yourself if 
              possible.
               
              Hope that helps. Let me know if you 
              learn anything else.
               
              Tom

                  Sinewave Generator
                  I recently downloaded from the 
                  Equis web site the Sinewave Generator described in John 
                  Ehlers' May, 2000 TASC article. When I applied it to the Sept 
                  01 Canadian Dollar contract, as well as others, I got a 
                  strange looking plot that missed several obvious cycles in the 
                  price data. I sent the plot to John Ehlers and he responded 
                  that there was an obvious error in the Sinewave Generator. 
                  
                   
                  I have just notified Equis of 
                  this error.
