The Visual Strategy Trader professional platform ( with bonus VSTmod & VSTopt modules) quantifies trading strategies and prospective trades in terms of expected profit and risk factors, and visualizes all trades and stats in an easy to understand graphical manner.  VSTpro allows the professional trader to know exactly what he/she is getting into before any capital is committed.

As well as being a fully-featured visual backtesting platform, the unique and powerful VSTpro also includes a highly integrated and configurable complete trading strategy, based on the unique and powerful Market Trend Filter (MTF) which is adaptable to any market.  The MTF is key in VSTpro's exceptional backtest and current trade results.

All elements in each of the VSTpro's 50 templates are completely interconnected - adjusting any strategy parameter will also update all signals and backtesting results globally, for an instant visual feedback on the effects made by the changes.

VSTpro allows you to tailor its main strategy according to your own risk requirements: just dial in your personal risk limit, and VSTpro automatically determines the optimal risk-management settings such as recommended leverage and position sizing.
Trade the markets like a true professional - VSTpro helps the trader understand (in a visual way) how profit and risk are intimately related, and how this inseparable relationship can be applied to improve realistic profits through leverage.

VSTpro is available for all versions of MetaStock v8 and above.

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 2% fees plus 20% of any profits.   If we apply the managed fund pricing model to the VSTpro's trade results, it would result in performance-based fees of approx $8,000+ per year  based on current performance.

The complete VSTpro platform can be yours for a fraction of its true worth, for a once-only payment equivalent of 2 oz gold which is approximately $3200 USD or 2600 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, re VST free:
VST 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.

Henry K, VSTpro owner:
This is what Equis should have done with the enhanced system tester in the first place!
I have to praise Jose Silva for developing this.   It is by far the most impressive add-on that is available for the MetaStock user ever!

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.

TB, Canada, VSTpro owner:
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.   I know people selling trading systems which I can safely bet that traders will make no money using, even though they would have paid $5000+.
As you know I've put in quite a bit of time with the VST[pro] program, and from that effort it became obvious to me 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.
I have been at this [trading] for a long time but this program is teaching me how to trade properly and revealing the many bad habits that I have learned over the years.
This is one fantastic program.   I like MetaStock but I absolutely love this platform.
The more I experiment with VSTpro the more impressed I become.   I am very pleased with my purchase of VSTpro.

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, VSTpro owner:
[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.

KJ asks prior to purchase of VSTpro:
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 systems.   Little or no programming ability is required for even the most seemingly complex VSTpro tasks.   The VSTpro instructional video library will guide you through all available functions and modules step by step.

WM, USA, VSTpro client:
Just a quick note to say thank you.   Although I am not yet actively trading with the VSTpro, I will be.   And minimally, I took the trade signal from the MTF sell signal to exit all my retirement portfolio on March 7th [2011], which has already saved me the price of the purchase.
I am finding that the VSTpro is helping me gain confidence and to relax emotionally, as I can see the market unfold and visually observe my drawdowns, signals, equity curve, and diversity of details of the [available] statistics.   The efficiency of gathering this information [with the VSTpro platform] helps me stay focused, and enhances my sentiment towards trading.   Thank you for developing this marvelous tool.

JK, USA, VSTpro client posts in private VSTpro usergroup:
As we all search for the ultimate system, let's not forget that Jose's MTF absolutely nailed the recent (Aug 2011) turn in the US market.
Thank you, Jose!
