It is pretty close. You just need to use paint bars
and you can plot it almost like an artificial symbol.

This is sort of tricky, but I know a few people who do
this. You add a new symbol, call it DESM1. (D for
Day.) Block out night sessions. Then get
dynastore/dynaloader to feed global server. Only
problem is that you double ES bandwidth requirements.

Agreed. Big flaw of TS 2000i. Was fixed with TS Pro
however (but since you trade futures, you can't use
it).
Thanks for all the comments. I had thought MS had
more things besides ease of use then 2000I, but it
seems I am missing little (except that portfolio
searching Dave pointed out).
