Ts2000i has a good quote page-improved from TS4-
You have to chart basic indicators somewhere, why not TS2ki ?- with NT4 it
is very stable in RT.- I too have simplified my approach  to just a few
things over the years.
What do you use to tell if 60 min is going down ? an Oscillator or Moving
average type ?
