I have been trying to verify some of your claims Jack but all I seem to be able to find is rather unflattering, how much of what is below is true?
Quote from Trader666:
Here are links to a few of my backtests of Jack Hershey's "methods."
Every once in a while, Hershey would screw up and describe something in enough detail to backtest it.

Jack Hershey has a tax lien against him for unpaid taxes to the tune of $82,000 that was filed in 2006. If you go to Maricopa County's recorder web site (
http://recorder.maricopa.gov/recdocdata/) and type into the Recording Number fields, the following number: 2006 1575958 and click "search" you will be able to see the recorded document.
A background investigation also found that he has no real assets (in terms of real-estate) and does not sit on the board of any company... in fact he is broke and in debt... evidence also shows that Jack has a few failed marriages behind him where he has left monies owed in the split ups. He currently resides in a very modest house owned by his latest partner and lives off her income.
This man has never made a cent trading, that much is obvious.
Let's see what happened when SCT told Jack the most important turning point in his 53 years of trading was about to occur

The only time Jack has ever gone on record he came
DEAD LAST in a trading contest in 2002 without the heat of real money..
His number 1 protege Spydertrader and leading exponent of his method turned up at a traders expo so poorly dressed he had to be marched to the cloak room by the hostess and given a decent pair of shoes to the horrified embarrassment of all the other traders there.
