At last - a hands-on, easy to understand guide to MetaStock!  Written for the beginner, Lisa's Little Green MetaStock Book will teach you how to create a chart and actually use MetaStock by working through the process of creating Martin's Market Cycle Model template he so commonly uses.

This guide is not like other MetaStock training courses.  Pictures guide you through the procedure creating "useable" and common MetaStock items.  This includes a template, layout, working with the DownLoader, creating a composite security and custom toolbar, attaching an Expert Advisor and more!  There's even a bit of basic Windows need-to-knows for good measure.  

• Begin with an introduction to basic Windows commands such as drag and drop and the copy and move commands - the same commands you need to understand before you can maneuver in MetaStock.

• Then move on to the MetaStock interface.  Here you will create a custom toolbar, and create a chart from scratch. You will then cover the Chart Toolbar and the all-important Application Properties dialog.  The Data Window is covered here as well.

• During the project, you will create Martin's KST Market Cycle Model template using the Organizer button to download and import the short- intermediate- and long-term KSTs!  You will also learn to change the default color and line styles, change the properties of your X and Y axis and change the Inner Window properties.

• Next you're ready to work with the DownLoader, work with end-of-day securities, create a composite security and learn to download other vendors data.

• Now that you have a chart, it's time to apply an Expert Advisor and lastly, learn to set up an exploration and analyze the results!

• MetaTips offer quick tips and tricks on various subjects - hotkeys, basic MetaStock shortcuts and more!

• There are even mini lessons along the way.  Try This! are fun projects that will answer questions such as "What have I done with my toolbars and how do I get them back" to learning how to create a multiple security exploration.

The Little Green Book comes complete with Martin's Learning the KST CD.  Now that you have his Market Cycle Model, you need to understand and be able to apply this powerful indicator.  You  even have access to the formulas!

After covering all 11 lessons within the the 130 pages, you're sure to find yourself high on the learning curve for MetaStock.

Clear, step-by-step instructions will guide you through the most frustrating areas
