AmiBroker and AmiQuote

AmiBroker is a popular software to develop a trade system.

AmiBroker is a powerful, comprehensive trading system development platform. It has

cutting edge charting and graphics, and fast, flexible and powerful portfolio-level back-

testing, optimization, and automated walk forward validation. Its purpose is to help in-

vestors and traders identify profitable opportunities to buy and sell. It includes an exten-

sive library of technical indicators that can be plotted along with the price chart as well

as tested for profitability in a trading system.

I don’t use much Technical Analysis. But AmiBroker’s backtesting is useful.

It also has support for intraday assessments.

You can use a custom language to add some indicators (here I used the following script):

AmiQuote

AmiQuote is a very basic data access software. You can import CSVs etc. into AmiBroker. I usually use Python and various APIs.

You can export a DataFrame to .aqh - if you chose the columns / fields.

AmiQuote isn’t reall needed any more.
