Metastock 18 – What’s New?

 

MetaStock 18 –

Form and function come together to give you the Ultimate Market Analysis Tool.

Next Level; Charting

One of the core values of MetaStock is the ability to represent data in a fast, friendly, effective manner – on a chart.  We are always working on our charts.  With Next-Level Charting in MetaStock 18, you can view the data you want to see just how you want to see it.  Customizable, sensible, easy-to-read, logical charts.

Power Console Updates

At the heart of MetaStock is the Power Console.  Now you can get what you need faster with the enhanced searching capabilities which allow you to locate the instrument’s folder by searching for either the name or the symbol. In addition, a dedicated favorites tab for your top explorations and tests, enhanced scan and test name search, and the ability to minimize the data display range round out the MetaStock 18 Power Console’s new functionality.

OptionScope Enhancements

Option Traders Love the convenience and power of OptionScope.  The Enhanced OptionScope in MetaStock 18 was designed to give you an improved view of what is important when trading options – Risk and Sentiment.  With the Options Sentiment viewer, you can view where the market interest is in the options you are interested in. You can view both open interest and volume.  You can even zoom in on the top traded options, no problem.

QuoteCenter Enhancements

Introduced in MetaStock 17, QuoteCenter has become the standard for list management. MetaStock 18 offers a new Gainers/Losers bar so you can see at a glance how your account or list is performing. In addition, you can change the charts settings from your Power Console, making it even more convenient to set things the way you like them.  It will now also share the theme settings with OptionScope.

Indicator Updates

Our users wanted more from their indicators and how they can customize them.  MetaStock 18 is just what they ordered.  The customizability is nearly endless.  From a set of new plot styles including Stepped Line, Filled Line, Stepped Filled Line, Dot, and Histogram to a range of customizations including colors, shading, filling between envelope lines (like Bollinger Bands). To top that off we made sure all the indicator values now plot in the title bar as well.

ELLIOTT WAVE SYSTEM

Based on the legendary work of R.N. Elliott, the MetaStock Elliott Waves System gives you the ability to chart High, Medium and Low volatility Elliott Waves. Formally a best-selling $300 MetaStock Add-on, this system comes standard in MetaStock 18. Out of the box, you get 3 expert advisors, 6 explorations, and 5 templates. You also have the free option as a 18 user to download the complete Suite of Elliott Tools.

MARTIN PRING’S SPECIAL K SYSTEM

Take advantage of Martin Pring’s time-tested method for identifying emerging sectors in the market cycle. Formally a $299 add-on for MetaStock, Martin Pring’s Special K combines short, intermediate and long-term time frames into one series. This “Special K” series often peaks and troughs with actual bull and bear market turning points. It can be used in many ways. The two most important are:

  • Identify primary trend reversals at a relatively early stage
  • Using short-term changes in direction of this unique indicator to spot 1 to 6-week buying and shorting opportunities

This add-on includes all the following:

  • 7 indicators
  • 4 Explorations
  • 2 Expert Advisors
  • 2 Templates

OFFLINE MODE:

MetaStock 18DC has the ability to run offline with no connection to the internet. This allows you to save your charts offline and study your charts offline like older versions of Metastock did. Offline Mode in Metastock 18DC allows you to download your data in advance, then analyse it offline… anywhere! If you have your computer, you have the ability to review your charts, run an exploration, analyse data, view the FORECASTER, and more. Metastock 18 allows you to make critical decisions, not just convenient ones. Now you connect to the internet, download the latest updates and then take your analysis on the go. This is a very important change and a welcome addition for many Australian Metastock users.

LOCAL DATA:

Metastock 18DC is flexible enough to keep up with just about any type of data.
