If metastock wanted to a new twist to the package it could add a forecasting module. I think it would add to the strengths of the package. You have the indicators, etc now add the ability to project or trend those indicators a period into the future. I think you have all the code ready to go. with some user imputs, shift the chart left to add some white space and project away with a forecasting formula "ffunction" to distinqish from a indicator formula. Then allow the indicators to back into a "projected stock price" Then add ability to back calc a probabliity of success, stats, trigger points, buy sell signals etc. Would definitely be something no other package would have nor do without a lot of work.

In the meantime, here are my techniques I use to look forward in MetsStock. I use the forecasting models in Excel and create forward open, high, low and close data. I then transfer that data to MetaStock via the Downloader. I can then use all the features of MetaStock for various what if scenarios.
