MetaStock
Desktop technical analysis software for system testing, charting and end-of-day or real-time trading signals.
MetaStock is a Windows-based technical analysis platform with two main editions: an end-of-day/swing-trading edition (D/C) built around system testing and custom indicator formulas, and a real-time day-trading edition (R/T) with instant execution tools. It supports a large library of built-in indicators alongside a proprietary formula language for building and backtesting custom trading systems, and can connect to real-time data through Xenith, its Refinitiv-powered data service. Unlike browser-based charting tools, MetaStock is installed locally and licensed per edition, historically positioning it for swing traders and technical system builders rather than social or algorithmic traders.
