Using The Metastock Organiser
By Jason Mitchell
A Quick Guide to the Organiser Section Of Metastock
A step by step guide on an easy way to share formulas and experts.
One of Metastocks most powerful features is the use of formulas. For those who are not comfortable
writing their own formulas the organiser function of metastock provides an easy way to share
indicators, experts and explorations. Further to this some indicators (including some on this
site) can only be accessed through the organiser. Many top traders prefer to keep a lot
of their codings secret. Why, well simply because others can take the coding and say it is their own.
The organiser allows you to use the same tools as these top traders without them haing to share
the coding which may have taken hundreds of hours to refine.
Before we start....

to import the file. To follow along, open the page we will be using by clicking this link
