Notes
Days that don't have any important news can range, and ranges are not good for this method.
Only take trades between 8:00 AM and 12:00 PM EST.
Be careful before important news, always know when it's coming.
The rules have changed a lot, but I have documented all of my moves so you can see how I arrived at the current rules.
