    Hi Rajandran Sir, Is it possible to configure Amibroker with profitable strategies of buy / sell signals supported by free RTD from NEST TRADER and an Algo Plugin. If so, how much it would cost? I am using NESTTRADER platform. It would be still better if F & Os are included in the watch list for trading purpose.
