    Changing Periodicity within the System Tester

    Hi everyone,

    I'm relatively new to Metastock and I was hoping that someone can guide on how to change the periodicity (e.i. daily,weekly) for a chart within the System Tester. I'am able to find it within the Explorer but not within the System Tester. Thanks in advance!

    Hi V

    When you start a new simulation and go to the Add Securities window there's a Periodicity option in the bottom left corner. You cannot change the periodicity if some securities have already been loaded so remove all securities and then select the securities you want and set the periodicity before clicking the Open button. Any securities added later will use the same periodicity set when opening the initial group. Don't try to change the periodicity of any securities already loaded as you won't be able to. The trick is to remove all securities and then select the periodicity before opening a new group.
