I don't find Sharescope inadequate at all. I wanted to know if there were good alternatives, so that I might make a comparison.I posted here because of the depth of knowledge and experience T2W has to offer.
Amibroker has a nice facility whereby you can "step through" a dataset from any period previously (without seeing what is coming) thus providing simulated live training - obviously you have to provide the dataset.
It's a good program in its own right but the stepping facility is really useful.
