Fibotrader : An Excellent Free TA Software

[soumya_b]

Are you asking to copy the file and paste it in the programfiles-fibo trader-data folder. Over write meaning should this be written over the main file that already exists in the data folder. if yes how?

there is a Main file of Fibotrader itself in the data folder. just overwrite it with my Main file.

The file in the data folder are MS access format files while your uploads are rar files.

read my first post carefully .

thanx

I have gone through your first post clearly. My problem is your main file is in rar format and therefor it is not overwriting the main file(dbf) in the data folder. It is just copying as a additional file in that folder and is not getting reflected when i open fibotrader. I also tried to copy your main, quote and script file to fibotrader-data folder and delete the main,quote files there maually. But they are not getting deleted(they reappear after deletion)

Kindly enlighten if i have missed something
Thks

Hi Kalyan,

In one line I will answer all three of your questions:

The support you are looking for is POOR in FiboTrader.

You will have to depend on somebody like Soumya or Fibotrader. Even support available on website is not much useful. There are many features available in other software like AmiBroker, MS etc. but are not in Fibo. So, even if the software is free you are BOUND to somebody for help.

Thanks Anant Waited a long time for that answer Got a premonition though from their website as to what it would be.

Could do with some less features as long as the essentials were there and well documented. But perpetual dependence on others or 'being taught' is something i detest.

It's not unworkable though even the scripting can be learned but would take a lot of time & struggle specially for the uninitiated.

Nonetheless i highly appreciate the selfless efforts of Mr Robert & his team towards the creation of the software and providing it free to the trading community and that of Soumya for his continuos support.

Wish they would spend more time with the documentation particularly for DScript (like say including an example with each concept) rather than answering stupid questions on things which have already been clearly explained in Soumya's first post.

I would suggest Soumya to include in his 1st post a few lines about downloading Winrar and unzipping the files. Would perhaps result in a few less questions.

Regards,
Kalyan.

Hi Kalyan,

The support you are looking for is POOR in FiboTrader.

100% agree with u. except Robert(Fibotrader) there is no other support line is currently available. and i have to admit that Robert is excellent. above all keep it in mind WE ARE USING THIS S/W NOT PAYING A SINGLE PENNY.

are many features available in other software like AmiBroker, MS etc. but are not in Fibo.

are many features available in Fibo but are not in other software like AmiBroker, MS etc.
Such as :-
1. Filter-> to do not required a single bit of coding knowledge
2. Chart Gallery-> very useful for scanning too many charts in a short period of time.
3. Training mode-> one of the best way of learning TA ( my view).

So, even if the software is free you are BOUND to somebody for help.

Ask Karthik & Murthy how they r enjoying .

the main and the biggest drawback about Fibo is it consumes more system
resource than Ami & MS while running.
its scanning(filter) speed is too much slower than the above 2.
help file is worse of the worst.

in spite of these i have been using Fibo for two years. bcoz this is the only one FREE s/w available in the trading world (as far as my small knowledge
is concerned) which has a vast professional functionality.

thanx & best regards,
soumya
