[amibroker] Programming a simple multi-timeframe strategy like 3 Ducks

["ozzyapeman" <zoopfree@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

This is a newbie question. I am considering purchasing AmiBroker
Professional. I am not a programmer but can handle basic technical
stuff, and will learn AFL.

I want to know if it is even possible to program something like the "3
Ducks Trading Method" with FOREX and eventually automate it.

Basically 3 Ducks involves testing SMA conditions on 4 hour, 1hour and
5 minute charts before determining the entry. Is this even possible or
can AmiBroker AFL strategies only work with one time frame at a time?

If it is possible to build such a simple multi-time frame strategy,
can I then easily backtest it with historical data in an automated
mode, using intra-day data? Or do I need to manually switch the time
frames as the backtest proceeds?

Can something like the 3 Ducks system be fully automated in AmiBroker
to trade live? I don't plan on doing that any time soon, just want to
know if it is even possible with this software.

Thanks!
