Chuck, You can absolutely trust this software, but it (like any software) is only as good as the formulas you write. It takes time to line how to program.
If you just want to manually place trades via a chart, you might want to consider quotetracker. It has a simple trading interface and charts and Amibroker can also accept data from Quotetracker (or directly from TWS). Quotetracker ONLY displays charts and is not as highly configurable as Amibroker. It can't backtest strategies at all. It's like the difference between a four wheel drive and a small car. You can pretty much do anything in a four wheel drive (Amibroker), but if you only need to stay on the road (i.e. display charts and manual trade), then the small car is good enough.
