    Do I need to order an add-on or does MetaStock work on its own?

    MetaStock needs DataLink in order to run. MetaStock Pro requires XENITH for its data. MetaStock and MetaStock Pro do not need add-ons to operate. Add-Ons enhance the functionality of MetaStock.

    Is MetaStock compatible with Microsoft's new Vista operating system?

    Running MetaStock on a Mac (Apple)

    Officially MetaStock is not supported when installed onto a Mac computer. However, we have many 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 customers 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.

    What is DataLink?

    DataLink is an end-of-day data service that provides the following data fields for a symbol:Date, Open, High, Low, Close, Volume, and Open Interest. Regarding data history, North American coverage begins in 1980 for equities, indices, & mutual funds and as far back as 1973 for some futures. International data goes back at least 5 years. There are many different software programs that are compatible with DataLink using the Downloader program.

    What is MetaStock?

    MetaStock is a software program that is designed to help you make better decisions about when to buy and sell in the stock, FOREX, futures, and commodities markets. MetaStock Pro is our real-time product that is powered by XENITH - without it, your MetaStock Pro product will not have data. MetaStock is our end of day product that is powered by DataLink data - without it, your MetaStock End of Day product will not have data.

    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, this also allows you to look at different time frames (examples, 1 Min, 8 Min, 30 Min etc.). End-of-day traders access 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 MetaStock R/T and MetaStock D/C?

    MetaStock R/T (formally MetaStock Pro) - Our premium technical analysis and charting software product for real-time traders. MetaStock D/C (formally MetaStock EOD) - Our award winning analysis program that is designed to help you make decisions about when to buy and sell in the stock, FOREX, futures, and commodities markets based on end-of-day data.

    What is the difference between the subscription and purchase versions 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 but would not allow you to plot any data without an active data subscription. With this option, you will have to sign up for a data feed separately to run data into the program. Our sales department can help you decide which option is best for you.

    What is XENITH?

    XENITH is a software and data module that empowers you with advanced, fully customizable analytical capabilities, and comprehensive cross asset data. It gives you a full breadth of global, economic, and critical market news to help you quickly identify the best ways to use and manipulate information.
