Hi All,

I have installed Fibo and also sucessfully imported the data from MetaStock. Also, the software works fine.

But 1 thing to mention, it uses Ms-Access to store the EOD Data, which is considered as quite inefficient.

At the end its worth if it is free. But, I prefer a binary file to store EOD as it is not only compact but fast to retireve and update.

hi members,

i have used the Fcharts free version & the amibroker trial version. not used the fibotrader, reasons being win98 compatibility and large file sze, which may call for higher amount of system resources. my views may be to that extent incomprehensive.

i like both FC and AB for the speed of loading a file and features. AB is better as it will show price chart & selected indicators in one view. as FC is free, i finally am settling in with it.

occasionally, i would be refering DLNGROUP and icharts, the web based TA software, which will give the chart n indicators without daily maintainance from user's side.

the support being provided by soumya in helping people using fibocharts is commendable.

to be conent with just one TA software is sometimes difficult.
