[amibroker] systematic backtesting

I am trying to figure out a way to properly backtest and perfect a 
strategy.  For instance the more exits or setup criteria the harder 
it is to isolate a problem.

Currently I am taking an idea and a set time frame, let's say 10 
days.  First I optimize my initial stop by keeping my stop just wide 
enough to allow for most of my stocks to hit my days in trade exit of 
10.

The next step is optimizing my trailing stop.  Basically I pick 
parameters to optimize and pick the one with the highest annualized 
profit and then I do the same thing with a stop that allows me to 
keep profits.

This is only a small part of the process of backtesting and just 
something I thought of.  Does anybody know of a way to build a system 
via backtesting in an efficient and robust way?
