[amibroker] I'd like to know if Amibroker can meet my backtesting needs

["love_carrot_cake" <michaelpub@xxxxxxxxx>]

I have went through the tutorial and documentation but it's still not
clear to me if Amibroker can do what I'm looking for.  I would
appreciate it greatly if someone could tell me if it can do it.  It's
quite simple really but I don't have experience with this sort of thing.

My strategy that I want to backtest is this:

each day I want to scan a watchlist of around 10-50 symbols
the scan is for certain indicator criteria, for example macd recently
crossed over, etc.
I'd like to rank the results, for example by stoch or by volume
I'd then like to buy the top x stocks (configurable of course)
I'd like to configure the exact entry, exit, and stop

I'd like to backtest this strategy over a long period and show the
results.

If Amibroker can do this I would like to invest the amount of time
required to learn AFL and purchase the software.  Thanks for your help.
