Hi,

I am a newbie to using MetaStock,

I want to do back testing in MetaStock,
I know this is through the Enhanced System Tester,
But are there any tutorials that you would recommend using to know how to use the Enhanced System Tester and how to develop basic formulas,

Thanks,

Niall

Once you have learned the basics of writing code, you can create indicators, experts,explorations and system tests within MS as they all use the same code (with some minor differences). To learn MS code techniques, read the MS User Manual, then do the exercises in the free Equis Formula Primer. wabbit [:D]

The Primer looks good as a starting point in developing with MetaStock
