Windows 64-bit: http://www.adaptrade.com/MSA/MSA_Setup_v400_Trial.exe
Note: This version of MSA is
only available for 64-bit versions of Windows. Since almost all recent versions of
Windows are 64-bit, this should not be a problem. If you're unsure if
your version of Windows is 32 or 64-bit, you can try installing the
program. If the installation program detects that your version of
Windows is not 64-bit, it will not proceed with the installation.

MSA Version 3.5.0
Posted: Dec 22, 2015
This version of MSA includes a new parallel processing Monte
Carlo algorithm to take full advantage of multi-core processors
when performing Monte Carlo analyses. MSA can now also read
trade data from RINA xml files and can automatically combine the
trade data from multiple xml files. In addition, version 3.5
includes several other changes and bug fixes.
Please see
the
release notes for details.
Note: Versions 3.3.0 and higher contain a new drop-down menu in the menu bar that
initially shows as "Current Sequence" and can be changed to "Monte
Carlo". If upgrading from an older version and the drop-down menu is not visible the first time you open the
program, select "Customize..." from the View menu and, on the Toolbars
tab, click the "Reset All" button.
This version can be installed concurrently with version 3.4.x
or older. If you already have an older version installed,
version 3.5 should not need to be activated; that
is, it should be activated when first opened.
Anyone with a valid license for MSA version 2 or higher may upgrade free of
charge to this version. If
you need to
activate version 3, please submit the 9-digit registration
number from the trial/registration screen via the
MSA 3
Activation page.
The registration number is the 9-digit number found on the lower portion of the
Trial screen that appears when you run the installed program. The activation code will be generated and emailed back as soon
as possible (usually within
two business days). For installation on a second (or new)
computer, please submit the registration number for that
computer.

Windows 64-bit: http://www.adaptrade.com/MSA/MSASetup-v350-64bit.exe
Note: Recent versions of
Windows are almost all 64-bit, so, in most cases, the 64-bit version of
MSA should be installed. While the 32-bit version of MSA will run on
both 32 and 64-bit versions of Windows, the 64-bit version will be able
to take advantage of all available installed memory to process larger
data files. If you're not sure which version of Windows you have, you
can check the System settings under the Control Panel. Both the 32 and
64-bit versions are compiled from the same code and are functionally
identical, including the files they generate. Because they're the same
program, only one may be installed on the same computer. If your
computer runs 64-bit Windows, it's strongly recommended that you install
the 64-bit version. For older computers running 32-bit Windows, install
the 32-bit version of MSA.

MSA Version 3.4.0
Posted: June 14, 2013
This version
adds a new type of Monte Carlo
analysis designed to detect when a trading strategy has stopped
working. The new analysis plots a prediction envelope around the
last N trades, where N is chosen by the user. If the actual
equity curve falls below the lower boundary of the envelope, it
suggests the strategy may no longer be working properly. Version 3.4.0 also
includes several bug fixes.
Please see
the
release notes for details.
Note: Versions 3.3.0 and higher contain a new drop-down menu in the menu bar that

| New Version of WriteTrades
Posted: June 28, 2010
The WriteTrades function is used to generate a list of trades from a
TradeStation chart for use in Market System Analyzer (MSA). This
version, called WriteTradesSym, appends the symbol name to the file name
used to store the trade data. It's designed to make it easier to use
WriteTrades when the same strategy is applied to multiple charts.
Instead of having to change the file name manually for each chart in
which the strategy is applied, the file name will be created
automatically to match the chart symbol.
To use WriteTradesSym, enter the file name input without the file
extension. WriteTradesSym will automatically append the symbol name and
the extension ".csv". For example, if you enter the name as
"C:\MyFileName", and the symbol is "MSFT", the output of WriteTradesSym
will be written to "C:\MyFileNameMSFT.csv".
DOWNLOAD LINK: WriteTradesSym.exe
(right-click the link and select "Save Target As...")
The download file is a self-extracting zip file. After downloading,
run the file to extract the EasyLanguage files. The download contains a
file for current versions of TradeStation (WriteTradesSym.eld), a file
for TS 2000i (WriteTradesSym.els), and a text file (WriteTradesSym.txt).

Installation Instructions:
For best results,
save the installation file first before running it. Make a note of the location where the file is
saved on your computer. After the download is complete, locate the
.exe file and double-click on it to start the installation.
Follow the prompts to complete the installation. After installation, the MSA program icon should appear on your desktop and in the programs
list in your start menu. By default, the software is installed in the
folder Program Files\Adaptrade Software\Market System Analyzer x.x,
where x.x is the version number (e.g., 4.0).
Each major version (1, 2,
3, 4) is a separate program and can be installed without affecting the previous
version. Minor upgrades, such as 4.0.0 to 4.0.1, will overwrite the older
version, so after installing 4.0.1, version 4.0.0 will no longer be accessible. Uninstalling an older version will not affect any MSA files (.msa or
.msaport) you may have created or saved.
It's recommended that after you first open the program, you
select the help topics from the Getting
Started screen displayed when the program first opens.
