Software Used to Trade Jack Hershey Methods

  1. In the case of multiple lines in the same selection area, the first created will ALWAYS be selected first. I know of no way to alter this. It is simply the way the code works.
    Some ways that work: Either move the others out of the way until you get the one you want, enlarge the screen to full-size if it is merely proximity, or if starting a new one, I simply start in empty space & connect.

    This sounds like a data feed issue, not a QT problem. It is the same PRV code no matter what the instrument... I've never seen a problem.
    I have compared both ES & YM PRV to NinjaTrader PRV to verify they match, and seen no problems that I can recall.

    BTW, I use IQFeed. I also use QT for drawing. I like the fact that I use the mouse exclusively and never have to take my eyes off the chart (to use the keyboard for example).

  2. Thanks for the response LostTrader...

    -Are you using the free or registered version of QT for $7.00/month?

    -What is the current cost for IQfeed???

    Thanks again.

  3. Once I started using QT full-time, I registered for $60 annual. Seemed like the right thing to do.

    IQFeed can run over $100/mo but it depends on what you sign up for... There was a link from the QT web-site to a reduced cost for IQFeed, so I suggest you look there.

    Good luck.

    Tums, thanks for kindly sharing the script.
    Here are some minor improvements:
    - laterals - horizontal lines extended until a bar closes outside the lateral
    - outside bars - can be toggled on/off, default is off
    - text offset input changed to % - allows easier usage with equities
    - commented out vertical lines for less clutter
    - works on daily and weekly charts

    Due to a bug in TradeStation, lines of code that remove labels inside a lateral (for less clutter) have to be commented out for the script to work - indicated by asterisks. The code works as is in MultiCharts.

  8. A new one cropped up recently for me.

    I draw a new line, then go to copy it, and some other random line is copied, rather than the one I have highlighted.

    Usually, it's the one I drew BEFORE, rather than the one I'm drawing NOW. Frustrating, to say the least...

  9. It's been around a while -- it means that you've just recently acheived SO MANY trendlines on your charts that you are bumping against their handling limit... :( I suppose you could consider it a milestone of sorts! :eek:

    I wouldn't mind clearing the oldest days off, or even better clearing any with only a width of 1 but nothing thicker. But those options don't exist, it is either delete one selected at a time or ALL of them.

  10. Tyring QuoteTracker with IQ feed this upcoming week...

    IQ feed will run about $98/month for real time data ($92 for futures only).

    This price includes the CBOT fee (starting April 1st) of $15/month for data.
