Summary: A 'must have' for Meta Stock owners!
Review: Clear, concise and to the point. This is an excellent, easy to understand guide written by an experienced user and demonstrator of the software, to assist those less experienced with this complex program. Simon - not 'H.C.'- Sherwood takes you through the basics of the program in an informative and sometimes humourous way, making it easy for novices to learn the basics.

Summary: One star is too many
Review: I bought this book thinking it would give me additional information and examples on writing with the metastock language and many other features of Metastock.
Forget it.!!!
This is nothing but a simplified version of a how to get started manual.
I wish Amazon had a negative scale.
I wasted my money and effort.

Summary: Major disappointment
Review: I learned how to open windows, save my settings, and oh wow! open up multiple windows at the same time! Geeeezzz! It's amazing what publishers will let slip by. Don't buy this, it doesn't even give you a feel for MetaStock. Zero stars if I could post zero stars - a total loss: short this turkey by not buying.

Summary: You get what you pay for...or less
Review: I wanted to get the most out of my recent investment in the MetaStock software so I went book shopping. I purchased this book because I assumed it was one of the great O'Reilly Nutshell series books; it is not. You can get more information at the MetaStock web site then you will ever get out of this book. The book mentions only a fraction of the options available in MetaStock and describes nothing in detail. It is like reading a very very high level outline. There is nothing of educational value to be gained by purchasing this book unless it is: "You get what you pay for" and in this case even less

Summary: The title of the book is accurate!
Review: My expectations for this book were simple: With an owner's manual the size of a phone book, I wanted some basic ideas on the functionality of Meta Stock. This book will not help you make money using the software, but will show you how to use Meta Stock in its most simplest ways. This book reminds me of `a dummy's guide' series. I would recommend this book for the person who just purchased the software.

Summary: So that's how you do things in MetaStock!
Review: Well I got the software and then sat and wondered what to do with it. When I couldn't find the appropriate 'Dummies' book I stumbled on this little gem. A quick check of the TOC showed it was going to tell me what I needed to know. No, not how to trade (there are thousands of other books for that), but how to use the software. The book showed me all the basics of using MetaStock, step by step, which was exactly what I needed. Now I know how to create a template and layouts and as for those cutom buttons, what a time saver! Overall....well done!

Summary: you don't need this
Review: Well, this book's recommended by Equis.
But if you buy Metastock you won't need this book.
Why? Together with the software you'll get over 600 pages instructions on how to use Metastock to make money.
I bought Metastock Pro, and I got 1."Getting Started" - 68 pages for the basic operations in MS like opening charts, drawing lines, etc; 2."Mastering Metastock" - 66 pages just about the Power Tools like the Experts, Explorations, and System Tests; and then 3."Metastock Professional User Manual" - 570 pages about the nitty gritty like the MS formula language, making your own indicators, more options on charting or downloading data, etc, etc, etc.
And you get 4."The Downloader" - 130 pages just about the Downloader. As I got the DataOnDemand technology, I don't even need to load and store security files on my harddisk. All files are stored on eSignal's server. If you sign up with other data providers like BMI or Reuters then you should read this manual too. "Nutshell" doesn't cover the Downloader.All in all, "Nutshell" covers and supplements what's in the "Getting Started" and "Mastering.." manuals. It gets you started with MS right away. I gave it 2 stars because I found some things about the toolbars which are not covered in the "Getting Started" manual, and because it looks nice and handy.
But actually, you can really do without this book.
And I really wouldn't pay more than $10 for it.
