One that remains with me today is AmiBroker. Over a number of posts I will explain why I use it as well as provide suggestions how to get the most out of it.
One of the first questions that folks ask is "How much is it going to cost me?"
Here is the good news .... $199 for the Standard Version and $279 for the Professional Version.
I have been using the Standard version for years, but here is the link that describes what features are in each: Versions
You can either use free data like I do (Yahoo End of Day) or subscribe to a paid service for either EOD or RT data.
The next question I get is "Is that price per year?" and to that the answer is no. The prices above are for a one time fee. Once you purchase the license you own it for life. You also get free upgrades for a full year past your purchase date. AmiBroker is constantly being improved and has beta releases coming out monthly (or sooner).
After one year from your purchase date you can buy the latest version for 50% of the current full price. That means for $99.50 you can buy the Standard version even if you purchased AmiBroker 10 years ago and have been happy with it since then but want some of the new features.
Price shouldn't be the main consideration but it often is and that's why I discussed it first.
I struggle with putting down on paper all of the features that AmiBroker offers because it is so powerful and flexible. All of us are different in the way we approach the markets, what's important to us, etc. So my approach will be to share with you my view points on what some of the key features are and how to use them over a large number of posts.
