AmiBroker Review, Pricing, and Features
AmiBroker
AmiBroker is Windows desktop software for technical analysis and systematic trading. It supports AFL scripts, charts, screens, portfolio backtests, optimization, Monte Carlo tests, automation, and external data sources. Licenses are perpetual, but market data and exchange fees are separate.
Best for
- Systematic traders who want AFL scripting, charting, scanning, optimization, Monte Carlo analysis, and portfolio backtesting on Windows.
- Technical analysts who prefer a perpetual license and can configure a separate data source.
- Developers who need automation through Interactive Brokers, OLE, DDE, ODBC, or the registered-user development kit.
Watch out
- AmiBroker is a Windows desktop application. It does not provide a native web, macOS, or mobile workflow.
- The license covers analysis software. Real-time and historical data subscriptions, exchange fees, and the optional AmiQuote downloader are separate.

Details change. Pricing, features, and availability may be incomplete or out of date. Treat listings as a starting point and verify on the provider’s site before making decisions. If you spot an error or a gap, send a quick note and I’ll adjust.
