Software Used to Trade Jack Hershey Methods

All,

I'm trying to get my NT indicators working with a new laptop running Vista. No problems except for Pepe's Channels Tool, which unfortunately I can no longer imagine not using.

It works fine until I attempt to use + or * to change the thickness or color.
As soon as the 'indicator' attempts to change the width or color, I get a message from NT saying it has encountered a problem and needs to close.

The change does work, but the error message is at best irritating, and at worst means the program really does need to shut down.

Is anyone else using Vista, NT, and that indicator? I don't know where the problem lies.

Thanks,

Vista will not allow a program to write data to the Program Files folder (so I read anyway) for security reasons. The channel tool writes the data in the NT folder instead of the Documents/NT folder.

I got around this by going to Program Files, right clicking the NT folder, and set the security permissions to allow everything for all users for the folder. Do this only for the NT folder, not the entire Program Files folder.

Another way around the problem is to turn off Vista User Account Control. I did not want to do this as I am used to the promts and the security could come in handy.

Hope this helps!

 

Does anybody have an Ensign template for Hershey methodology? I've spent too much time trying to get Ensign up and working just to decide if it's worth using. Using IQFeed.
Also, the clock function is running 20 seconds behind tick/price plot. Any suggestions?
Thanks...

I've been going to a daily free meeting which seems to incorporate some aspects of Jack Hershey methods in the charting and gives entry and exit points for beginners to trade on.

Has anyone else had any luck with Peak Trader Pro live meeting or software?

I'm still on the free demo trial but think that the real-time voice analysis is helpful and I'm picking it up.

I also like how they scale down the charts at the end of the day so I can study off the bigger picture without so much noise and lines drawn.

I've attached a scaled down version of the daily chart.

I'm still a beginner, but my chart looks similar to the charts the guys who runs the room chart.

 

IBGS for MultiCharts and TradeStation

<img src="http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/attachment.php?s=&postid=2053383">

Code:

{==== IBGS v1.0
For coding simplicity, this version of IBGS assumes C:C[1] by 1 tick
after adding this indicator to the chart, go to "Format Study"... 
1. Change the General>Style>Type of "H" to "Bar High", and "L" to "Bar Low". and 
2. Change the "Weight" to thick.
then on the chart... do a right click... select "Visual Order", choose your data series, click on "Bring to Front".
The highlighted IBGS should appear under your price bars.
====}

input: 
upcol(green),
dncol(rgb(255,150,150));


if h > h[1] and c < c[1] then
begin
   SetPlotColor(1,dncol);
   SetPlotColor(2,dncol);
    plot1(h, "H");
    plot2(l, "L");
end
else

if L < l[1] and c > c[1] then
begin
    SetPlotColor(1,upcol);
   SetPlotColor(2,upcol);
    plot1(h, "H");
    plot2(l, "L");
end
else

begin
    noplot(1);
    noplot(2);
end;

 

Tools For Trading using the Price Volume Relationship

After numerous requests, I have combined all the tools needed to trade - Equities, Options, Forex and Futures - using the Price Volume Relationship, into a single set of tools. For those of you already using these tools, you'll want to download special file - PVFiles - in order to obtain all the upgraded tool sets. Please see the attached Setup.doc for download and installation instructions.

The most significant addition to this tool set involves Automation of the culling process. Each night (during the nightly data update process), the software automatically culls the entire stock market based on the Fundamental Criteria first discussed in Journal One, and it does so without the need of user input. With a single click, these tools provide a list of stocks to monitor the next day, and maintains the add / delete process each evening.

In addition, I have also included in the library both a Futures Trading workspace and an Equities Trading workspace (Equities has one workspace with indicators [MACD and Stochastic] and one with Price and Volume only.

All the above files self install after downloading the PVFiles Library.

Tools included with this Libary

• Automated Equities Culling (sorted by Unusual Volume)
• Automated Equities Scoring
• Automated IBGS
• Automated IF1
• Automated Flaws and Formations (Pennants and Laterals)
• Automated Gausians (increasing by default with the ability to add decreasing if desired)
• Automated Pace Lines (updated every bar) included on ES, YM Tic Charts and Equities
• Automated STR-SQU (offset, drift and Lead-Lag fully automated)
• Automated Peak Volume
• Correct Bar Coloration
• DOM Walls on DOM, 5 minute ES and Tic Chart

I'd like to thank Mikeytrader, Ireland, Tim, Pete and SVRZ for their input and assistance, and hope everyone finds these tools helpful to their trading. I plan to add additional releases to this library in the near future, so consider this Version 1.0 for now.

If you have questions, feel free to post, and I'll do my best to answer in a timely fashion.

Good Trading to you all.

Spyder, many thanks for posting your recent work. Very much appriciated

What version of Trade Navigator is needed for it to work, is Silver enough?

Thanks again.

 

Silver doesn't have the Tic by Tic replay for learning Futures after hours, and it also has fewer drawing tools. Platinum has the automated stratagies built in, so unless you plan on coding stratagies, Gold most likely meets most peoples needs. Genesis provides a 30 day Free trial so you could test out all three versions to know which one works best. Most people I have talked to use the Gold Version, but a few have Platinum.
