Is there any way to back test an indicator in Metastock through the system tester or some other method? Thanks!

You can backtest entry & exit signals based on conditions (e.g. C>Mov(C,21,S), but you must first define your methodology for these signals.
And even then, comparing backtest results with markedly different risk (drawdown) profiles is a difficult task.
The risk-normalization of any backtest results is essential. More on this issue here:
