MetaStock Magazine Articles

"When considering charting software, it is hard to look past MetaStock. For many years, MetaStock has been the industry leader, but now there are a few more contenders for the crown as competitors raise their standards to catch the monolithic MetaStock.

"It is a program that is so powerful that many of the world’s largest brokers have the system installed as part of the dealing rooms. Add to this that it is the most widely used program around the globe and the numbers clearly show the versatility and power available.

"MetaStock offers a truly space-age program."

-- Australian Shares, September

"...One of the features MetaStock is famous for is the ability to literally scan or test thousands of stocks with the MS Explorer... Users can... easily write their own scans and tests or edit the existing ones to suit their needs."

"MetaStock is... one of the most impressive pieces of software I have ever reviewed. It’s not perfect but has obviously been built off of years of customer feedback and input.

"This is an amazing piece of software. I have been lucky enough to review some very nice software packages over the past few years; however, MetaStock offers everything it claims. 'Know What To Trade, When To Trade, And How To Trade' is the byline and it covers the first two items very well, especially considering the price."

It's Charting..."Technical analysis is often described as visual analysis because of the use of price charts. MetaStock offers every type of price charting that I am aware of (and even a few new ones for me). Charting allows for Bars, Candlesticks, Candlevolume, Equivolume, Line, Kagi, Point and Figure, Renko and Three Line Break."

It's Indicators and Programming Language...

"Indicators are a core component of... technical analysis. MetaStock not only provides over 110 indicators, it also provides a powerful language that can be used to construct custom indicators. The language is so simple I was able to create custom indicators within a few hours of installing the software. It is also quite powerful as I just discovered how to properly use two functions after two weeks of use.

"I love the sheer number of indicators and the easy to use programming language. Add in the system tester, experts and layouts and there leaves little room for improvement."

"MetaStock has a very large help facility where definitions, formulas and advice are available."

-- Australian Shares,  2002

It's Explorations.."Explorations allow for calculating multiple indicators a cross a group of stocks and then filtering them based on a set of criteria. Would you like to see all of the stocks that you track which are above their 50 day moving average and have a RSI below 50? Setting up an exploration would take only a couple of minutes and running it would take even less."
