Metastock Multiple Security Back Tester Plug-in

 

MetaStock Multiple Security Back Tester plug-in

 

 

 

Always test your trading ideas before investing your real money. As a trader and MetaStock user, I have always dreamed of testing my trading systems on multiple securities, getting a detailed results report at once and using some scripting program to automate the process. This plug-in was built before MetaStock released version 8.0 which has multiple security back test capability. But, this plug-in does not create huge database files, works faster than MetaStock counterpart it still can be useful for some situations. That's why I haven't removed it from my website. Since, this plug-in was built for MetaStock versions 7.x, installation program needs a registry trick to work on systems with newer MetaStock versions. If this is the case, please contact me. I will be glad to help you.

 

FEATURES:

  • Works in MetaStock Explorer.
  • You can test only Long or Short positions or both.
  • Writes test results to a tab delimited text file, so you can open it with Excel, WordPad or similar programs or save it for later comparisons.
  • You can make further statistical calculations on the results if you use a spreadsheet program like Excel.

I improve my add-ins according to your feedback. Please send your comments. 

USAGE NOTES:

You can find on-line help on the "Multiple Security Back Test Help" page. 

IMPORTANT! You may get different results for some columns in the report when compared to MetaStock System Tester. This is due to a fact that MetaStock System Tester has some bugs. If you don't believe me, run one of your system tests with entry and exit delays and run the same test by delaying your entry and exit signals only (REF(Your Entry Signal, -2) for instance) and see for yourself.

REQUIREMENTS:

  • MetaStock 7.0 or higher version.
