Re: opening range ?

I have most of Gary Smith's systems and materials.
I think it's overly curvefitted and not certain whether
or not Gary himself trades the stuff.  He tends to
change his mind on ideas which are not in the
materials he sells.  For what may perhaps be an
opposing point of view you might consider contacting
broker Peter Aan at:  800-375-4243.  Don't misunderstand
what I'm saying here.  Smith is very savy and has some
good ideas.  I just think he keeps the best stuff to
himself; which is OK.  I just don't like the idea of buying
stuff that is not of any use for current real-time trading. 

Charles.
