There is no MetaStock demo. What exists is better.

Why this matters

Demos hide exactly what you need to see

A demo version, in the old sense, is software with the good parts switched off: watch a chart, but no saving; see an indicator, but no testing. For analysis software that would be worse than useless, because the entire purchase decision rests on the deep features: does the System Tester hold up on your strategy? Does the Explorer find your setups? Is the Forecaster genuinely useful on the instruments you trade?

None of that can be evaluated in a locked-down demo, which is presumably why MetaStock's answer is the full 30-day trial: MetaStock 20, complete, with live data and the XENITH news terminal, on your own watchlist.

If you wanted the demo to avoid a commitment

Fair. Two things to know: you can cancel any time during the 30 days, and our standing advice is to diarise day 25 as decision day so nothing renews without an actual decision from you. The trial FAQ covers the money questions in plain language.
