Finally, optimization that really works!

Key unique features

VST - free download

This valuable tool is completely free - please download your free copy of the VST now, and you'll have it up and running in minutes.


Please note that apart from the online instructional video and simple instructions, there is no personal support available with this free offer.

Why is the VST free?

1) We hope that the uniquely instant visual approach to strategy risk/reward backtesting becomes the new standard;
2) We also hope that a small percentage of VST users realize this new platform's potential, and upgrade to the VST professional version.




VSTpro - price/order

The unique VSTpro is not just another add-on, and it is not for everyone.   It is a complete professional system development and trading platform for the dedicated trader.

For entry-level traders who are frustrated with traditional systems and value time saved on strategy research & development, the VSTpro represents outstanding value.   For active professional traders, the VSTpro is priceless - please see trade table for VSTpro (paper trade) returns with a modest trading capital since the beginning of 2010.

A well-run managed fund typically asks investors for 3-6% fees plus 20% of any profits.   Considering that the VSTpro is way above the typical fund in terms of sophistication and potential profits, nevertheless applying the managed fund pricing model to the VSTpro would result in performance-based fees of approx $12,000 per year  based on current performance.

The complete VSTpro platform can be yours for a fraction of its true worth, at your currency's equivalent of 2 oz gold which is approximately $2500 USD or 1900 Euro at recent FX rates.

Please see here for the VSTpro's price in your currency:      USD    EUR    AUD    CAD    GBP    BRL    INR    HKD    SGD    TRY    ZAR    SAR





The complete VSTpro platform is available without any hidden catches:
       Just a single one-time only payment;
       No restriction on the VSTpro's code in any way - it is not a black box trading system;
       All future VSTpro version updates are free.

Included with your Visual Strategy Trader Professional platform is a month's subscription to the best MetaStock training service available: LearnMetaStock.com.   When VSTpro clients login to LearnMetaStock.com, they'll find extensive VSTpro/VSTmod/VSTopt professional tutorial videos produced by world-renowned MetaStock trainer Kevin Nelson.

Testimonials

Henry K, veteran MetaStock programmer:
VST [free] is a very impressive system.   It quantifies the entries vs the amount of risk at the time of the trade.   I have to give Jose Silva a tip of the cap for sharing this.   It is far more impressive and robust a system than any add-on that Equis sells.
Please feel free to accept this response as an overwhelming endorsement of your [VST free] system.

BC, Canada:
MetaStock's new VST software is one of the best I have seen.   Changing the parameters without having to rewriting the formulas is great for a beginner like me.   Risk management is my top priority and this lets us take advantage of that and gives every investor a better chance at succeeding.   Hats off to Jose Silva.

VS, India:
The VST must be the Magnum Opus of your financial career.   Wish you all the best for your new endeavour.

BJ, India:
Thanks a lot for introducing me to the VST.   And I must congratulate you for having developed a very good system.   I am still getting my hands around it.   Surely lots of experiments lies ahead :)

JO, Canada:
[Jose] you have once again surpassed yourself with [the VSTpro].   Frankly the MetaStock community would not be the same without you.

JT, Sweden, prior to VSTpro purchase:
Kevin, I have had a 'sneak preview' of your [VSTpro] videos and I can honestly tell you already that my trading will never be the same after this.   Please express my gratitude to Jose for an outstanding job.   The Street would have paid him a small fortune for this plug-in and he is selling it for just two ounces of gold...

JT, Sweden, after VSTpro purchase:
I want to express my gratitude to you for all the time and effort you must have spent in developing this magnificent trading tool.

TB, Canada:
A big reason for getting me through the [price] shock was speaking with you about the program and coming to realize that you are very honest and thoughtful.   I would never have purchased this program on a whim because over the years I have been disappointed with various purchased programs.   As you know I put in quite a bit of time with the VST[pro] program, and from that effort it became obvious that this was something very different and that this approach would work with almost any style especially countertrend trading.   I am very impressed with the ability to test my own ideas and getting immediate feedback.   The whole thing can only be described by the word innovative.

KJ asks:
I am intrigued by the VST, mostly because the MACD kit is the best MS addon that I have ever had, as I have posted on several bulletin boards.   What inputs are adjustable?   How much programming ability is needed?   The great strength of the MACD is its simplicity-you could plug it in, use it in default mode and beat most professional money managers.   I hope that [the] VST isn't unnecessarily complicated.   More importantly what is the underlying logic behind the system? (I have wasted way too much money on systems that simply defy logic.)

Hi KJ,
The VST is free, so I take it that you are enquiring about the VSTpro.   The VSTpro platform is like a BMW super car, complex beyond belief under the bonnet, easy and a pleasure to drive. :)

Everything built into my first retail trading system has been built around the ease-of-use concept.   The VSTpro's standard system is as simple to use as applying a template to a chart and following the buy/sell signals.

Once you get comfortable with the basic options in the VSTpro platform, you can dig deeper into system analysis functions that give you unprecedented control and speed in developing or customizing your own system.   Little or no programming ability is required for even the most complex VSTpro tasks.   The VSTpro instructional videos will guide you through all available functions and modules step by step.
