wow, i thought i was the only one using 2000i.

may i ask, are you trading this system(s) live, and with full

if nothing else, it's fun watching. but yeah, i like the educational aspect that goes along with it.

this thread is so helpful. great people here! i don't see why you couldn't use that entry technique with any setup.
nice charts sir and thank you for sharing the setups.
