Features
The MetaStock Enhanced System Tester™
Are the indicators you are using the best possible for the securities you are analyzing? What is your win/loss ration? What is your drawdowns? Is there a better method for trading my account.
With the exclusive MetaStock Enhanced System Tester™ you can create, back-test, compare, and perfect your strategies before you risk any money in the markets.
By analyzing every trade that would have occurred historically, you build confidence in future trades and answer the question, "If I had traded this security using these trading rules, how much money would I have made or lost?"
The Enhanced System Tester also shows you which securities work well with which systems. Unlike other systems that allow you to test only one strategy on one security, the MetaStock Enhanced System Tester allows you to test multiple securities against multiple strategies.
The MetaStock Expert Adviser™
Expert Advice is right at your fingertips, when and where you need it. MetaStock's expert Alerts keep you in touch with current trading conditions.
The MetaStock commentary window shows you in great detail how your expert assesses the chart you are viewing. Is it a buy, sell, or hold situation? If so... Why? You get insight gained through years of research and real-world trading.
The MetaStock FORECASTER™
Imagine if you had a tool that could paint a more probable, easy-to-read picture of the future? A picture based on patent-pending technology that uses any or all of 67 event recognizers. A picture that helps you more precisely set profit targets and stops. That's what you get with the MetaStock FORECASTER, the latest PowerTool available exclusively in MetaStock.
The FORECASTER plots a "probability cloud" based on your selection of any of 67 event recognizers. It uses advanced mathematics to examine the price action after these events to determine the probable performance of future events.
Charting
MetaStock Sets the Standard in Charting
MetaStock gives you nine of the most widely-used price charting styles:
Page Layouts help you save time and stay organized. Save all of your on-screen charts together like pages in a book. So whenever you open your layout, the same securities appear.
Templates also save you time by applying the same set of indicators and studies to different securities. Rotate through different securities while keeping the same indicators and line studies on the screen.
Built-in toolbars let you easily refresh data, change periodicity, rescale the Y-Axis, zoom in & out, choose "previous" or "next security" in the open folder, and choose a security to open.
The Object Oriented Interface allows you to click on an object and get an instant menu for that item. The Click and Pick/Drag and Drop features let you drag price plots, indicators, text, and lines from one chart to another.

Indicators & Trading Systems
MetaStock Indicators
Analyze the market with the insight of the most respected traders in history with MetaStock's comprehensive collection of indicators and line studies – over 150 are included. MetaStock's built-in indicator interpretations even help you understand how to trade each indicator. For advanced users, The Indicator Builder lets you write your own indicators.
42 Adaptive Indicators
Standard indicators use a fixed look-back period, which makes them less responsive to prevailing market conditions. MetaStock 13 incorporates 42 Adaptive Indicators with dynamic look-back functionality based on volatility, cycle, or a combination of both. This method provides the most responsive and accurate results.
Write your own system
MetaStock knows that many of our clients have their own ideas about what makes a great system. The MetaStock formula language is easy to learn and allows you to create just about any system you can think of. Not into programming? Tell us what you want and we'll do it for a nominal fee. Find out more about custom formula requests.
Stop Indicators
The best trading systems will fall short without a good exit strategy. MetaStock stop indicators help your system know when it's time to get out of the trade:
- Intellistops - these self-adjusting trailing stops do away with the old static stop systems, which are set at a fixed percentage from price. Intellistops are adaptive and adjust dynamically based on the current price activity of the security. Intellistops adjust according to cycles, volatility, and other conditions.
- Chandelier Stops - As the name indicates, Chandelier stops "hang" the sell stop from the extreme high reached over a predetermined period. When used properly, in tandem with other trading systems, Chandelier stops have been shown to produce profits even with randomly selected entries on a diversified group of futures.
The RMO System
This revolutionary trend-based system was developed by Rahul Mohindar. It incorporates a three-step indicator triggered by the Rahul Mohindar Oscillator and has become one of the most popular systems in MetaStock for its ease of use and reliability.
The Performance Systems
Trade at a higher level of confidence and expertise than you ever thought possible with the 26 trading systems included in MetaStock. Chosen after countless hours of intensive testing and rigorous research, these systems have a highly successful track record of profitable results.
We added state-of-the-art exploration tools to 10 of these systems. These explorations perform system testing - on not just one security - but over an entire database of securities. Plus, you'll get buy/hold vs. buy/sell comparisons, and buy/sell alerts to further assure your trade has the highest probability of success.
