Amibroker 6.93

Expanded data import – Native support for JSON and Parquet formats.

Improved charting – Anti-aliased text and gradient-filled zones.

Watchlist linking – Dynamic watchlist sync with external CSV/Google Sheets.

Bug fixes – Memory leak in 6.92 resolved; improved Python integration stability.

One of the silent killers of older AmiBroker versions was the 2GB memory limit on 32-bit builds. AmiBroker 6.93 fully optimizes the 64-bit architecture, allowing users to load databases exceeding 10+ years of 1-second intraday data for thousands of symbols without crashing.

What this means for you: You can now backtest strategies on the entire Russell 3000 or NSE 2000 with tick-level precision without forcing Windows to use pagefile swapping.

Solution: Press Ctrl + F1 to toggle the ribbon on/off. If that fails, delete the registry key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Amibroker\RibbonState and restart. amibroker 6.93

With the rise of Python-based backtesters (Backtrader, VectorBT) and cloud platforms (TradingView, QuantConnect), is a desktop executable like 6.93 obsolete?

Absolutely not. Here is why:

Version 6.93 introduced under-the-hood improvements to the native Amibroker database format. Local data storage and retrieval – especially for 1-minute and tick intervals – is noticeably snappier. The infamous "database compaction" routine runs faster and with fewer lock-ups.

Windows recommends fully uninstalling previous versions, especially if moving from 32-bit to 64-bit. Expanded data import – Native support for JSON
