    Software Used to Trade Jack Hershey Methods

    Hi All, I got some PMs asking me to fix the code for red/black volume bars. I'm afraid I cannot help because I trade FX and I haven't encountered that problem with the tick volume bars I use. I hope someone with NT coding experience who trades the ES can help. Regards, Vorzo

    I trade spot. For volume I use tick count, and CME futures volume as a proxy. I found the combination of two to be reliable enough for my purposes. In order to get accurate tick counts in NT7, you have to chart the bid (or the ask) rather than trades. Hope this helps, Vorzo

    Here is a PV Pack that works with NT beta 18. I'm using it for FX, so you may have to change some settings. You need to copy the files to C:\Documents and Settings\[YourUserName]\My Documents\NinjaTrader 7\bin\Custom\Indicator\ then compile them. As always, use at your own risk and...

    For comparison, see the attached pace spreadsheet with IB data, Feb 1 - Feb 29 2008, 8:30-15:00 CST (same data used by tobbe). There are MINOR differences from tobbe's sheet, likely due to different feeds used. From a PM I got - I thought I'd post the answer here: The table is used to...

    Can't trade DIA with IB

    Same here for SPY. There was a bulletin saying there were problems at AMEX. I tried executing on other routing options available for SPY but to no avail, so it should be an IB issue. A backup account is clearly a must.

    Sorry for the delay. This is how I see it: yes, price extension in itself means continuation. But, does PACE confirm such a wide range bar? If pace is lower than indicated by Mak's table for that lo-hi range, it raises a red flag for me. It strong pace comes in, it will take the price further...

    Iterative Refinement

    I live on the West Coast, but I run my computers on London time (I collect FX data and run some systems that require this time zone). "Pace indicates price overextended" - meaning that price has run MORE (low to high) than Mak's PRV table indicates for that particular pace level, so I...

    Iterative Refinement

    I recently started taking screenshots when I enter or exit a trade (courtesy of cnms and others). I used to debrief on EOD charts, and if I hadn't made a hand note or annotation on the charts, I had to remember the reasons for entry or exit. The screenshots allow me to see exactly what I was...

    Large trades outside the market mean??

    Thank you for bringing this up, I've noticed these block trades outside the market and was wondering what they were. The behavior of the respective stock after they occur: - below the bid they tend to be bullish in the short term - above the ask they tend to be bearish in the short term...
