Analysis Tools
The ExplorerTM
Scans the Markets to Find Winning Securities, Based on Your Own
Trading System.
With The Explorer, you can sort and rank your results to find only
the securities with good profit potential.
Finding prime trading opportunities starts with scouring the markets
for securities that meet specific criteria. It's a huge task, and next
to impossible on your own. But thanks to The Explorer, MetaStock's
built-in search tool, it's more than just possible. It's a cinch!
Tell The Explorer the characteristics you're looking for. Working
quietly in the background (freeing your computer for other tasks), The
Explorer scrutinizes thousands of securities to find the ones that fit
your criteria to a tee.
You can also use The Explorer to calculate the value of your favorite
indicators, generate a short list of potential money-makers, find the
biggest gainers and most actives, or generate daily buy and sell signals
- all based on your criteria.
If You're Ready for It, The Explorer Can Do Even More...
For instance, The Explorer can perform multiple explorations at once.
You can choose from three different search modes:
 |
Instruct The Explorer to
run one exploration on the results of another,
|
|
|
Use a single security list for all explorations, or
|
|
|
Use a separate security list for each exploration.
|
|
|
Give yourself that winning edge...with The Explorer!
