Gee, I am surprised you lasted that long! That system and its spruikers don't seem to have a very good reputation (according to the thousands of posts on the internet forums I have seen slagging off at the system and the company!)


Software, for the most part, doesn't generate trading success; the user generates success. I know some AWESOME traders who still use a newspaper and hand-drawn graphs. Software is a tool; the real knowledge and ability is in the user.


I have a strong belief that trading systems are very personal things; I have tried trading a few systems offered by other people and they haven't worked for me. Everyone has their own thresholds for pains and gain, so many times simply opening a box and applying the trading system doesn't work for everyone (as you have seen with your previous fx experiences). Have a look at the trading systems offered in MS and see what they are trying to do and how they attempt to do this; apply your personalisations to meet your risk profile and trading goals. (I don't mean run a curve fitting optimisation either! Do the work properly and it will reap rewards.)

Putting together any trading system is simple (and yet exceptionally difficult). Define your entry, manage your risk, manage your trade, exit. Simple? Software can help, but computers will only do what they are programmed to do and cannot make assumptions or interpretations. "[censored]in begets [censored]out."


MetaSTOCK is a charting package with no trading functionality; MetaTRADER is a trading package which has some charting functionality. They are different beasts. If you're an EOD trader placing trades by phone then wont really matter which software you use. If you're at the bleeding edge and you need exceptionally rapid order placement then you'll need a trading application more than the charting application. On another note: why only use one application? "If the only tool you own is a hammer, then eventually everything looks like a nail."
