Hey Quanta,
I use two applications depending on what I want to do. I use TradeSim and/or Excel. With both applications I dump sim outputs from Amibroker into CSV files and then just import into TradeSim or Excel. You really can do some great statistical analysis with Excel. TradeSim I really like because it is specific to stocks and you can drill down into more trade related stuff than Excel. But you can do a whole lot with Excel and enough analysis to decide if you want to go live or not. Only downside to TradeSim (and it isn't major) is that it expects the CSV data to be in a particular format--they openly publish the CSV input format. So for TradeSim it is not a simple matter of exporting from Amibroker (which you can do for Excel). In the AFL code of your system you have to write the CSV file in the format required for TradeSim. If you're comfortable with AFL then this should NOT (thanks frog) be a big deal.
Good luck.
MA
