Software Used to Trade Jack Hershey Methods

Quote from ljyoung:

As Sidney Harris remarked one time, "Could you be a bit more specific?"
Also what is a predictable turning point? Prediction is not to be found in the JHT/JHM lexicon.

Where would a SCT trader anticipate a better a short - the confluence of a 5 mins, 15 mins and 1 hour channel lines? Or just the left side on a 5 mins channel?
 
A little more info on the peak trading software.

I had a conversation today with Josh Russo from Peak Trading Group, he has known Jack for 3 years. If anyone has questions Josh seems more than willing to answer them.
The previous range of $100-250 was an estimate and the fee varies on the level of service and guidance one requires.
Traders following the JHM methods on ET can expect to pay around $140/mo which includes the software and data feed via iqfeed.
Commissions are around $4.42 round turn all in with possible lower rates for quantity.
The software has drawing and annotation tools but is yet to be automated. I'm under the impression Spyder is working with them in this area. I do not know if one can plot any other charts besides what is part of the JHM methods.
It seems like a fair price for what they offer especially considering the potential the software has as they continue the development. It sounds like they are just getting this thing off the ground.
I currently use Ensign and IQfeed with the same options they are offering(I think) and pay a little more for the combination than they are asking.
 
Jack has mentioned the historical volatility index in another thread, which may be of some help with the lack of volume (at least that's what I'm thinking). Hope to eventually look into that. The FX hours are a bit better for me.

Thanks for the info.

Surprised you recall Amibroker! I've moved on to QuoteTracker for charting - trading FX through MBTrading.

FX doesn't have volume, pro rata volume or applicable DOM. So the process is more price/channel heavy then SCT for ES. On the flip side, FX is more 'trendy' (many 4 point trends and volatility expansions). ES, from the looks of it, trades mean reverting - plenty of 1-2-3 channels that FTT and turn the other way.

Same idea, just a different flavour. i think any trader could adjust accordingly.

Good trading.

Would the absence of a "confluence" make you less likely to anticipate the short and prepare accordingly?

Hey EZZY,
Thought I do not trade FOREX, it is my understanding that eSignal has some sort of tick volume histogram data which the VSA people find to be of utility in their type of currency trading. I have not used this data and have no idea how good it is but whatever, it might be useful.

Thanks for the tip. If you find a link for that, let me know.

FX is doable. Just a little different. Less precision, more range. You get used to it.

I'm not sure what the point is then but I see cnms2 has provided a more salient explanation than mine, if indeed mine could be called an explanation. If one has prepared for a short, the 5 min ES seems a good place to trade it.
