New FOREX Features in MetaStock 11
4 NEW FOREX Currency Pair Systems
MetaStock employed the "3-V" approach (Velocity, Verticality, and Volatility) and the notion that balance between different types of indicators offer superior performance to develop the FOREX Currency Pair Systems. The four new systems are specific for the following pairs: EUR/USD, GBP/USD, USD/CHF and USD/JPY.
Features Designed for FX Trading
- Symbol database of the FOREX currency pairs
- 17 FOREX tailored layouts of the most popular pairs
- Place your trade from MetaStock using either Interbank or COESfx
- Systems, charts, and layouts specifically designed for the FOREX trader
The FX Pattern System
Composed of a Template and an Expert, this is a very popular system with many FOREX traders. It combines Bollinger Bands, Standard Error Bands, and a Stochastic Oscillator in a way that reveals FX specific buy and sell signals. Many FOREX traders use this methodology as part of their analysis strategy.
The FX Keltner Systems
Keltner Channels are recognized as a proven tool for analyzing the FOREX markets by many FOREX traders. These new systems give you two different ways to use Keltner Channels in your analysis.

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. MetaStock is the only technical analysis program with a complete Object Oriented Interface. The Click and Pick/Drag and Drop features let you drag price plots, indicators, text, and lines from one chart to another. |

Analysis Tools
The ExplorerTM - Scan the Markets to Find Winning Currencies
Finding profitable trading opportunities starts with scanning the markets for currencies that meet your criteria. With how vast the FX market is, this is an overwhelming and next to impossible task on your own. However, MetaStock's built-in search tool, The Explorer, makes it quick and simple.
Tell The Explorer what you're looking for—say you want currency pairs that have just generated a buy signal. The Explorer searches all available pairs to find those that match this description. You can also use The Explorer to generate a list of potential money-makers, find the biggest gainers, or the most active currencies, or generate daily buy and sell signals.
The Explorer does the tedious, time-consuming work for you so that you can make informed decisions quickly and with little effort.
The Expert AdvisorTM - Consult the Experts
The Expert Advisor is an educational tool that helps you interpret technical analysis signals. This compilation of trading styles and rules from experts such as Martin Pring, Gilbert Raff, and Bill Williams offers commentaries and suggestions as to when to buy or sell based on technical indicators. This tool gives you 60 “experts” to apply to your trading.
The Expert Advisor brings you advice from a team of experts so that you can find out what they would do in your specific trading situation.
The Enhanced System TesterTM - Test Your Trading Ideas
With The Enhanced System Tester, create, back-test, compare, and perfect your strategies before you risk any of your money in the markets. System testing helps answer the question, “If I had traded this currency pair using these trading rules, how much money would I have made or lost?” The surest way to increase your confidence in a trading system is to test it historically. The Enhanced System Tester lets you take a group of currencies and compare them to a group of trading systems to find the best scenario.
Designed to simulate real trading scenarios, the Enhanced System Tester allows you to change variables such as entry, exit, order sizes, commissions, and more. This tool gives you incredible customization, comprehensive results, and detailed reports so that you can find the most historically successful trading scenario.
The Enhanced System Tester gives you the power to take huge amounts of past data and use it to analyze and predict what trading systems will be the most profitable.
Indicators & Trading Systems
MetaStock's 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.
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 currency - but over an entire database of currencies. 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.
"Systematic trading has dramatically improved my returns and drawdowns. I'm easily beating the indexes and not taking an inordinate amount of risk. Prior to MetaStock I tried one trading concept after another, and was essentially break-even – not without many gut wrenching moments though. Trading is now objective and simple for me. I just follow the signals. And through extensive back-testing, I have confidence that my system will be highly profitable in the future."

Versions and subscriptions
What is the difference between End-of-Day and Real-Time?
Real-time traders use intra-day data (prices that are constantly updating throughout the day) to make decisions about when to buy and sell during the trading day. End-of-day traders collect their data (Date, Open, High, Low, Close, Volume, and Open Interest) for the day after the markets have closed. We have products designed specifically for each type of trader.
What is the difference between the subscription version of MetaStock and the purchase version of MetaStock?
MetaStock can either be subscribed to on an ongoing basis or purchased outright. The subscription includes the MetaStock software and accompanying data feed and can be paid for on a monthly or yearly basis. If the subscription is cancelled, neither the software nor the data feed are accessible.
The purchase version contains the MetaStock software only and is purchased for a one time charge. The software is always accessible because you own it and have paid for it outright. With this option, you will have to sign up for a data feed separately to run data into the program.
Does MetaStock Pro have the same features as MetaStock Pro FX?
Yes, MetaStock Pro has the same features as MetaStock Pro FX—including all of the FX tools. In addition to the features in Pro FX, the full MetaStock Pro version includes a full symbol database, volume indicators, and comes with a historical data CD.
Data feed

What is QuoteCenter?
QuoteCenter is a software and data module that receives real-time data provided by Thomson Reuters. QuoteCenter can be used by itself or the real-time data can be used to power MetaStock Pro or MetaStock Pro FX.
What data feed do you need for MetaStock Pro?
MetaStock Pro can work with one of two data feeds: QuoteCenter or eSignal. We recommend running MetaStock Pro with the QuoteCenter data feed for the highest quality analysis at the best price.
What data feed do you need for MetaStock End-of-Day?
MetaStock End-of-Day was designed to work with Reuters DataLink, but can work with other data providers. Call our sales team if you would like more information on additional data providers.
Do I have to use your data feed?
No, although we recommend using our data feeds, both our real-time and end-of-day software products work with several different data feeds.
Software Features

What time frames can be displayed inside MetaStock?

System requirements
Is MetaStock compatible with Microsoft’s new Vista operating system?
MetaStock 10.0 and earlier versions are not Vista compatible. Running MetaStock 10.0 or earlier versions on Vista is not recommended, nor will it be supported by Equis. MetaStock 10.1, released March 2007 is Vista compatible.
Your software has only 1 month of historical data pre installed: Where can I get data for bigger period?
We included 1 month of historical data to our setup file for size reasons: You can download historical data from our site here www.forextester.com/datasources.html for free: We provide data from 2001 year to current moment and update this data monthly:
Do I need to order a plug-in or does MetaStock work on its own?
MetaStock works on its own; it does not need a plug-in. Plug-Ins enhance the functionality of MetaStock.
What are the system requirements?
System requirements are listed under the left-side menu for each product. For example, to find the system requirements for MetaStock End-of-Day, click on the heading End-of-day, then MetaStock End-of-Day, then System Requirements.
Running MetaStock on a Mac (Apple)
Officially MetaStock is not supported when installed onto a Mac computer. However, we have several clients using MetaStock on the new Macs with the Intel processor and they have reported that they’ve encountered minimal issues. While we haven’t tested MetaStock on Macs, our discussions with customer using it indicate that for the most stable Mac environment, the Windows operating system must be running through a Mac application called Boot Camp. Similar applications may not work properly (for example Parallels or Virtual Machine). MetaStock software installed on a Mac computer is eligible for the 30-Day Money Back Guarantee. All conditions and requirements apply to Mac users regardless of the timing or nature of potential Mac related issues.
MetaStock will make every effort to provide support for running our software on a Mac and help customers troubleshoot issues they encounter; however as we have not officially tested MetaStock in this environment, we are unable to guarantee support beyond a reasonable effort.
I generated ticks for 2 (or more) symbols, when I started test I can see bars on one chart, but second chart is empty: What I am doing wrong?
It is possible that you imported more history for 1 symbol, then for others: For example, you imported history for EURUSD from 2001/01/01 to 2009/01/01, and for USDJPY from 2002/01/01 to 2009/01/01: And you generated ticks from 2001/01/01 to 2009/01/01: When you start test you will see bars created on EURUSD chart and nothing on USDJPY chart until testing time reaches 2002/01/01: Then you will see bars on 2 charts:
I generated ticks for USDJPY, then I generated ticks for EURUSD: When I switched to Testing Mode I can see only EURUSD but I want to see both:
You need to generate ticks for 2 symbols at the same time: Every new ticks generation erases previously created data:
