Getting Started with Amibroker

Dave offers advice and feedback to Michael, who is learning to use Amibroker for the first time.

He's coming from RealTest, so we go over the similarities and differences between the two platforms.

We discuss:

• How RealTest is great for daily data, but hits a wall for most intraday trading strategies
• Amibroker is not just a backtester; it’s a full charting, analysis, and execution environment.
• Backfilling with IQFeed versus Polygon (there is really no contest)
• Best practices for databases in Amibroker
