[amibroker] How to use intraday futures data for backtesting

Hi,

I'm new to amibroker and am trying to see if it fits my requirements.
My main purpose is to be able to test strategies (ie. backtesting). I
hear the AFL is good and is able to do the job well.

My question is, how do i get past intraday (1min, 3min, 5min, etc.)
data for the NQ and ES e-mini futures (around 2-4 yrs worth). Are
there downloads available through amibroker itself? does anyone have
this data to use?

I use Quotetracker and IB. I am aware of the real-time data gathering,
however, this will only store the day, which will take a while to
compile the info for useful backtesting.

If not, can I use ASCII data and import it into amibroker. I would
assume this is possible... what format should the file be in order to
work properly.

I'm sorry for the naive questions. Hope someone can help.

Thanks.
