You should be able to automate trading using the watchlist as the source of
stocks to trade, without hard code for each stock.

About trading 2 strategies at once, you can certainly do it, as far as
Amibroker is concerned.

You may run into problems with overloading your computer depending on how
much computing power you need based on your system. Are you considering 100
issues in real time with fast charts ???  That's a lot of computing
