Rented for 1 month and after just a few days already see the potential of this indicator to help define if price will breakout or continue . I like it a lot. Wish I could apply the rental price to the full price. Being from Canada the full price was too much for me to purchase outright so the 1 month option for me was a no brainer as the demo did nothing for me as did not work for some reason.
