From what I can see from their website, it seems to be a different product from TB: there does not seem to be as much functionaility in terms of backtesting multiple systems together and managing risk/position/allocation at a suite of system level. However, the fact that it supports interaction with multiple brokers for real time trading and is built on .Net is interesting. I wonder how this would compare to NinjaTrader... It seems TB is more greared towards back-testing (and with therefore more functionailties on that side) whereas RightEdge is more geared towards real-time trading. So it depends what your goal is.

As and when u get time, kindly give your view for RightEdge (RE)(http://www.rightedgesystems.com/) Given the choice on relatively easiness to learn the system, speed and more features, (ignoring price) what u prefer as a serious trader at retail / institutional level btw Trading Blox and RightEdge. Is there any other product that u have come across beyond TB and RE. If i mistake not, ur final choice, currently is with TB, and I asking about RE for the first time here for ur view.

Actually never heard the name... Makes me a feel a bit less "unique" now! ;-) To come back to your question, I did not do a straight comparison of Trading Blox with AmiBroker but TB is what I use now. If you look around the blog, you should find articles on it, including this one: http://www.automated-trading-system.com/trading-blox-teaser-review/ Basically, the main reason why I went from AmiBroker to Trading Blox was because of the extra features in term of suite/portfolio backtest. ps: not sure if you had checked the archives page before. It was broken and showing only 5 posts per month. Fixed now so you should see the posts that cover Trading Blox. Venky,

And also support for alot of different data providers that TradersStudio doesn't. Regards, Gary Hello

These keep me going as well ;-) I am more familiar with TradersStudio and I know that it can do multiple systems testing, it can even do "virtual systems" where you monitor a system and take action based on its output (ie only take a trade after the virtual system has had 2 losing trades, only trade one system after its equity curve is over its Moving Average, etc.). I do not think that AmiBroker offers this and it might be very awkward to implement I feel (see this thread for more info: http://www.mail-archive.com/amibroker@yahoogroups.com/msg41607.html ) and this just made me realise that it is probably a big reason why Amibroker cannot replace TradersStudio... Cord,

I always get confused about which package is multi-market and which is multi-system. Do you know if any of these are multisystem, in that you can see what happens with your overall equity curve given the interactions of your different strategies and the money management strategies that you use. Thanks a lot, and congratulations for the site, I like it a lot. Cheers, Cord HI Jezz. I always get confused about which package is multi-market and which is multi-system.

You can declare function and you import them thru the #include or #include_once directive. Not 100% true: in amibroker you don’t need copy and paste.
