MetaStock free trial: the questions everyone asks first

Yes. It is MetaStock 20 with everything unlocked: backtesting, scanning, the Forecaster, OptionScope, live data and XENITH. There is no feature-limited demo version; the trial is the demo.

30 days from signup. Our advice for a decade has been the same: diarise day 25 as your decision day so the deadline never decides for you.

Yes, any time during the 30 days. If you cancel before the trial ends you pay nothing further.

You pick at signup. If you trade end-of-day or swing, pick D/C. Only pick R/T if you genuinely trade intraday; it is the much more expensive tier to continue with. The pricing guide has the full comparison.

The 30 days are free. MetaStock confirms the exact terms, including payment details, during their signup flow; read that screen before you click confirm, as you should with any trial. Continue past the trial and normal pricing starts, roughly US$59 to US$100 a month depending on edition.

Whatever MetaStock's current signup terms say happens; typically a paid subscription begins. This is exactly why day 25 is decision day. Cancel or continue on your own schedule, not theirs.

No. We are an independent affiliate: the trial link goes to the official metastock.com signup, and MetaStock pays us a commission if you become a customer. Your price is identical either way.

It is Windows desktop software. Macs need Parallels or a Windows VM. Full details on the system requirements page.

MetaStock ships with built-in guidance, and the training page collects free videos plus a week-by-week trial plan so the month is not wasted clicking around.

A lot has changed; version 11-era users are usually surprised. See MetaStock 11 vs MetaStock 20 for the honest before-and-after.
