In real life I am always buying the amount of shares that if my stop gets hit, I lose 2 % of my equity. Can I do that kind of position sizing rule in Metastock?
Everybody is talking that you can (and should) upgrade your 8.0 for free to 8.1. How is that possible because I have not read anything about that.

I found that TradeSim as an add on utility gave me a much better feel for how my systems perform. It allows the position sizing model you describe (fixed percent risk) as well as portfolio testing.
You can find it at www.compuvision.com.au.

I've coded a number of custom variable position sizing indicators for MetaStock clients.
This involves the process of normalizing risk (EntryPrice-InitialStop-Slippage) for every trade, such as used in the variable position sizing indicator within the MACDH Divergence kit.

learned to do it myself :)
It's funny that I have had Meta for couple of years now and I am just now understanding its potential.

Hey finquant-
Are the results TOP SECRET? I'm sure others would be interested in following in your footsteps. :)
