The MetaStock Explorer

Scan the Markets to Find Winning Securities

There are thousands of stocks, currencies, options, and futures. Moreover, there are hundreds of indicators and systems you might want to use to trade them. How do you even begin to sort through the possibilities? How do you find the winners? That's where the MetaStock Explorer comes in. You can benefit from an extensive library of built-in explorations or build YOUR strategy.

More about the Explorer

It is impossible to list all combinations of possibilities, but here are some examples of what you can do with the explorer;

  • Discover which securities have generated a buy or sell signal based on your custom criteria
  • Find the securities that have just crossed above their 200-day moving average
  • Generate a performance report of all your mutual funds
  • Discover the securities which ranked highest by Wilders RSI
  • Generate a list of securities that are above their 10-week moving average, with a stochastic of 80 or higher
  • Identify Instruments that have CandleStick Patterns
  • Create a watch list based on securities that have broken support/resistance, or even trendlines

The list of possible scans is almost endless and saves countless hours of sorting and sifting.

"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."
