Historical Daily and intraday

Hi,
 
This program is free and so is the data.Data can 
be exported. Even historical 1 minute data. I think this should be good 
for backtesting. I'm unsure about how to specify info for downloading into 
Amibroker.
 
Here is a link to the program  <A

Attached file shows screenshot for exporting 
data. Can anyone tell if this export format is good or suggest how to do 
it?
 
Greg
