http://www.enthios.com/FrontPage.htm . I guess that the Ensign program
would have to be used for now unless someone can program AB to do the
same stuff as Ensign. "Range Bars" and MP don't seem to be available
in AB at this time, but if/when Tomasz makes it available it will
probably be worth the wait .  In any case the method of trading as
shown here  http://www.ensignsoftware.com/tips/tradingtips70.htm might
help you with the discipline part.
