Software Used to Trade Jack Hershey Methods

[ljyoung]

Quote from Avi 8:

(1) Who cares.

(2) What does your last post have to do with this thread?

(3) I mentioned Red Hat and then you go on to inform me of what they do/did. Obviously I already knew that info since I used them in my answer to you about selling public domain material.

(1) Exactly. Couldn't agree with you more.

(2) About as much as your posts and my posts and other posts on this particular aspect of "Software Used to Trade Jack Hershey Methods".

(3) The first part of my response was in response to your asking me if I'd ever heard of Red Hat. What followed next was a partial elaboration on my perception of what Red Hat had done and how it was to be contrasted with other ways of dealing with, reacting to, using, PD material. I had/have no idea the extent to which you were/are aware of what they and others like them have done nor the extent to which you were/are aware of what my thoughts on the matter were, which brings us back to (1) again.

I'm wondering if anyone who uses QuoteTracker can tell me the cheapest way to get data feeds linked. I have it linked through ESignal right now but it costs a fortune. Just looking for ideas on what people subscribe to or use and how much it costs on a monthly basis.

Comments appreciated. Thanks

LittleMac:
A cheap one is DTNIQFeed ($50/mo for ES/YM futures + [$25/mo for equities + exchange fees]). Before you go with them check out a recent thread http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=117012 and see what you think then. FWIW, for the moment, I use DTNIQFeed as do a number of other Hershey people. Aother possibility, which I'm looking at now is NinjaTrader/ZenFire which is also $50/mo but this includes the NT software.

Yeah, this is what I use. No problems other than IB isn't active on Saturdays, so any updates to your FU needs to be done on Sunday, etc.

Actually, there's a whole list of broker feeds available for QT. From a quick look, most are on there.

When I was using QT I was getting real time streaming data for free from by broker MB Trading and paying DTNIQ $25 per mo. to get backfill data (which MBT does not provide) I had no problems with that setup. (P.S. I still like QT for charting better than NT, but I do like the scripting available in NT).

Here is QuoteTracker paintbar code to color bars based on if the bar had a higher high or lower low irrespective of the close. Inside bars and Outside bars are ignored and painted by QT.

I shared this code with Avi 8 after he posted his chart on Friday and noticed that he was treading those bars the same as I did.

There are two scripts because QT does not allow changing the color of the volume bar. ColorPriceBars.... is for the price pane and ColorVolumeBar... is for the volume pane.

In the price pane, choose the option to change the color of the candle. For the volume pane I choose to paint the background to indicate the color change.

The latest QT beta allows import and export of paintbar code.

Here is a screen shot from my equities charts.

I thank you for your contribution, bi9foot.

Quotetracker now allows you to paint the bar background. So far I can only think of using this for inside bars to give a "shadow" effect.

Can anyone think of other uses?

re. bi9foot's paintbars: I actually paint bars that go lower/higher but close at the other end (beyond the open) green and pink respectively.

I colour the volume pane background to track the extension of price movement (including outside bars) and colour the volume bar itself based on open/close of the current bar.

I believe this covers all the bases well.

See attached, a picture is worth a thousand words:
