You can do exactly the same in AmiBroker. You can also backtest
different intervals and even switch intervals inside one formula (TimeFrame functions).
AB is simply superior to anything you mentioned.
Using mixed EOD/intraday mode you have both intraday and eod histories
available at the same time. So no product you mentioned provides
anything more than AB. In fact they are inferior when it comes to handling
huge eod databases.
