I agree with Michael. There are only a handful of features that I feel
metastock needs that really are outside of what can be implemented
using MSX:
1. Entry and Exit on stops, where the entry/exit price accurately
reflect the stop order
2. Same for limit orders
3. A BarsInTrade() function. This can be done in MSX, but I feel it
should be a basic system function
5. A OpenTradeProfit() function.
6. Ability to share calculations and variables across "Long Entry",
"Long Exit", "Short Entry" and "Short Exit"
7. Ability to run systems with multiple dataseries where the
base-periodicity of the dataseries/securities are different.
For simple tests and experimentation, I find the formula language
sufficient.
