What it does
AmiBroker is Windows software for technical charts, market scans and portfolio backtesting. Its Analysis window brings together exploration, optimization and simulation tools. Licences are perpetual, and a separate 30-day demo download is available without signup.
Build a watchlist in the Symbols window, then use Exploration to scan that group. The Analysis window also contains backtesting, walk-forward testing and Monte Carlo simulation. Batch processing can automate recurring analysis tasks.

Purchases include 24 months of upgrades and maintenance. You can keep using the purchased version afterward or pay for a later upgrade. The public trial is a demo release; licensed releases are downloaded from the members area. Use the trial to check your data sources and workflows, since AmiBroker states that digital licence sales are generally final.
