Yes. It can do all the things you listed. However, some advanced stuff like dynamic position sizing based on equity/cash/dd etc requires good programming skills.
For multiple system simulation, there is no problem processing all the signals, but dynamic risk control over item/group/system is kind of tough (I have to write my own plug-ins). 
Amibroker has some unique features you can't find in any other TA packages such as AddToComposite() and multiple level custom portfolio backtesting. Well worth the price.

  Hi I'm thinking of getting Amibroker,

  I've heard that it is very flexible and some have said it can do 
  virtually anything u want...probably a bit of an overstatement?

  However I wanted to know if:

  If it can test multiple systems at once? e.g. If I wanted to test 
  trading 3 systems at the same time.

  For position sizing: if it can differentiate between initial equity 
  and the current profits. i.e. i plan to risk diff. % of initial 
  equity and profits.

  And for trade alerts: Can it alert with buy/sell signals along with 
  the position size to trade according to your strategy?

  Lastly just how flexible and how much can u do with this program? 
  E.g. in excel you can program virtually anything u want to do with 
  trade testing.
  Is it comparable in that sense?
