i hope you answer please! my mail is bmy2982@gmail.com

as I promised I write a few words... So thank you for the awesome articles once more!
I was wondering what has happened to this gentleman so I tried to reach out.
I was very glad when I received an answer and I got to know he is doing well and his current business (http://www.business-sms.com.ng) occupies most of his time thus he is not getting any chance to trade.
Hopefully one day he will be back and will bless again the mql5 community with some useful articles.
God bless you Samuel!
