Metastock 18 Upgrade

MetaStock 18 - Form and function come together to give you the Ultimate Market Analysis Tool.

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. Options Traders also know that risk management is critical. Along with the Option Sentiment viewer, you can also plot your risk based on 9 different built-in strategies. Simply select the strategy and it will ask you for the required inputs and it will give you a clear, easy to read customizable risk graph based on the following strategies: Bear Put Spread, Bull Call Spread, Covered Call, Long Call, Long Put, Long Straddle, Married Put, Short Put, and Short Straddle.

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. We also made the MetaStock indicators smart. They know where to plot automatically. In addition, MetaStock now includes new Volume Up/Down with multiple calculation methods, MACD Histogram, and of course, making sure the Ichimoku plots the Senkou Span A and Span B into the future. Finally, MetaStock now allows changing all your settings in one indicator plot window rather than changing per line. Easy, right?
