The toolkit, tool by tool
Charting and the Power Console
300+ built-in indicators, every chart style a technician could name, and since version 20 a unified Power Console that docks every tool into one workspace. The look is function-first rather than fashionable; the speed is excellent.
The System Tester
The reason serious systems traders keep choosing MetaStock. Define entry, exit, stop and position-sizing rules, run them across years of history, and get reporting honest enough to kill bad ideas before they cost money. If you read one thing on this site about testing, make it the backtesting guide.
The Explorer
Market scanning on your exact criteria: every night the Explorer can sweep thousands of instruments and hand you the shortlist matching your setup. This is the feature that replaces hours of chart-flipping.
The Forecaster
MetaStock's patented forecast cloud projects a probability range of likely price paths. Used as decision support rather than prophecy, it is genuinely unique at this price point.
OptionScope
New in version 20: option chains, Greeks and risk graphs beside your chart, for traders who express chart views through options.
XENITH
A Refinitiv-powered news and data terminal: real-time headlines, global fundamentals, economic calendars. The nearest a retail desk gets to institutional information flow.
Expert Advisors and add-ons
58 built-in expert systems from recognised trading authors, plus an ecosystem of around 49 third-party add-ons. Whatever methodology you follow, someone has probably built the MetaStock version of it.
