"After attending Ken's workshops for 3 days there was a lot of information that I needed to digest before I felt confident in assessing where I should look at trading his systems on a daily basis. Using the new layouts that are based on Ken's formulas and strategies help to distill and provide a focus for me to more accurately determine which direction I should go. These layouts helped me to accelerate my understanding of the simplistic to complex elements of each of the systems taught.
Everything from the market mosaic to real time frog systems info is in here, and all will update in real time as the markets change. This takes a LOT of the brain power needed to analyze the current situation out of the picture which then further allows me to focus on acquiring the right pairs with the right setups for entry and exits.
Whether you use TC2000 already for trading, or use a completely different trading platform, this system is worth the money for the software platform, the subscriptions and the data feeds if you are serious about taking your trading skill sets to the next level using Ken Long's and Tortoise Capitals systematic approaches".

"I use Ken’s RLCO framework for intraday trading on ETFs and stocks. The TC2000 package is very nimble and helps me to navigate the markets quickly, easily and effectively which makes life easy and helps me with efficient trade execution.
The main utility I get out of the TC2000 add on is it makes my process quick and focused. Right from the open of the market I can see what the major movers are on the indices, I can see the sectors that are the major contributors and then I can zoom in on those sectors and find the symbols WITH a clear indication whether there’s been a hybrid frog move already, if I am at a Range Stat move and what the season is for the symbo...all at a glance.
Need something bigger than the Hybrid Frogbox or a different stat ? Then just go on the Frogbox scanner and find those symbols or on the individual layout…
Or better yet, have a favourite trade ? Collapsing Dragon or Owl ? Just click on the CD tab to see at a glance all the US stocks and how close or far they are to the setup conditions for the trade.
Overall the RLCO TC2000 is an effective time hack.
"The one thing I’ve not yet been able to find is the “Automatically generate me R’s” button but given how efficient and effective version 1 is I am sure that’s an upgrade coming in version 2 :)"
