Comparison: Amibroker and Metatrader

Metatrader

1. Metatrader is complete brokerage complex with full back office back end
2. Metatrader can't be connected your Real time feed direct from client end and feed is always restricted to what your broker provides.
3. A good custom indicator support is there based on MQ4 and trader can opt same for development for automatic trading strategies directly in platform
4. Backtester and genetic optimization for optimization stuff
5. Simple and Free client end and very user friendly even in few hours of 1st look around platform
6. A neat and clear charting features suffice above average purposes.


Amibroker

1. Amibroker a decent charting package and you can't trade straight from Amibroker or process your orders
2. External datafeed can be connected via local databases and plugins, so leaves some choice for selection of feed the client wish
3. AFL based coding and back testing possible, but not sure how accurate is its backtester 
4. Scanners avaliable
5. Simple and neat interface

Google/Yahoo Intraday Datafeed through Amiquote


Today i crossed over the  Amiquote with Google/Yahoo Intraday Datafeed. Amiquote lifetime license cost just $65. Save your bills!
It i available in Amiquote3.3
Google Intraday Limitations:
1)Only 1-minute and 5-minute intraday bar intervals are supported
2)The backfill covers upto 15 most recent days backill data for 1-minute bars and upto 60 most recent days back for 5-minute bars
Only regular trading session is included
3)You need to be registered user of AmiQuote to use Google Intraday download.
Yahoo Intraday Limitations:
1)Only 1-minute and 5-minute intraday bar intervals are supported

MetaTrader with Virtual Private Server


      Virtual Private Server hosting allows the traders to use the virtual environment on the hosting company's servers to run the MetaTrader expert advisors 24/7. If you want to run your expert advisors continuously without the unplanned interruptions then  VPS hosting for MetaTrader is what you really need. The purpose of the list presented below is to help traders in finding the best VPS hosting for MetaTrader 4 expert advisors.

VPS Work Flow:

It helps traders to deploy their expert advisors on a dedicated server that will be running 24/7 without interruptions, independently from the trader’s own computer and without any efforts from the trader’s side.It will save from some unforeseeable problems (like internet disconnects, power outages, system errors, etc.)
The general scheme of how the VPS is used in trading can be seen below:

All three entities — trader’s PC, VPS with ExpertAdvisor and broker’s MT4 server — are connected to the internet. Trader has still a choice to control the VPS and upload new ExpertAdvisor to it and also to control and monitor its trading account. Fortunately, none of these actions require a 24/7 uptime from the trader’s PC or connection. ExpertAdvisor installed on VPS are sending orders to the MT4 server 100% autonomously — the actual trading requires a 24/7 uptime and it’s provided by the VPS.
I listed out some VPS provider with package price.
