Software Used to Trade Jack Hershey Methods

Quote from TraderD72:

- If there is a bunch of lines near each other and one tries to move a line that is selected, usually the selection changes to the line that was created first and moves it instead.

In the case of multiple lines in the same selection area, the first created will ALWAYS be selected first. I know of no way to alter this. It is simply the way the code works.
Some ways that work: Either move the others out of the way until you get the one you want, enlarge the screen to full-size if it is merely proximity, or if starting a new one, I simply start in empty space & connect.

Quote from TraderD72:
And also Ive just about had it with QT's PRV tool for the 2min YM, its absolutely horrible. I've counted 10, 2min bars today where is spit out the complete wrong volume.
The 5 min ES is fine which is dont understand.

This sounds like a data feed issue, not a QT problem. It is the same PRV code no matter what the instrument... I've never seen a problem.
I have compared both ES & YM PRV to NinjaTrader PRV to verify they match, and seen no problems that I can recall.

BTW, I use IQFeed. I also use QT for drawing. I like the fact that I use the mouse exclusively and never have to take my eyes off the chart (to use the keyboard for example).

Thanks for the response LostTrader...

-Are you using the free or registered version of QT for $7.00/month?

-What is the current cost for IQfeed???

Thanks again.

Once I started using QT full-time, I registered for $60 annual. Seemed like the right thing to do.

IQFeed can run over $100/mo but it depends on what you sign up for... There was a link from the QT web-site to a reduced cost for IQFeed, so I suggest you look there.

Good luck.

Tums, thanks for kindly sharing the script.
Here are some minor improvements:
- laterals - horizontal lines extended until a bar closes outside the lateral
- outside bars - can be toggled on/off, default is off
- text offset input changed to % - allows easier usage with equities
- commented out vertical lines for less clutter
- works on daily and weekly charts

Due to a bug in TradeStation, lines of code that remove labels inside a lateral (for less clutter) have to be commented out for the script to work - indicated by asterisks. The code works as is in MultiCharts.

This was posted earlier in this thread (bi9foot)...

Here is what I read A summary of the issues:

- Clone a line and when you try to move the copied line, depending on how close the line is to the original line, the original line gets moved even thought the copied line had the selection anchors
- If there is a bunch of lines near each other and one tries to move a line that is selected, usually the selection changes to the line that was created first and moves it instead.

A new one cropped up recently for me.

I draw a new line, then go to copy it, and some other random line is copied, rather than the one I have highlighted.

Usually, it's the one I drew BEFORE, rather than the one I'm drawing NOW. Frustrating, to say the least...

It's been around a while -- it means that you've just recently acheived SO MANY trendlines on your charts that you are bumping against their handling limit... I suppose you could consider it a milestone of sorts! :eek:

I wouldn't mind clearing the oldest days off, or even better clearing any with only a width of 1 but nothing thicker. But those options don't exist, it is either delete one selected at a time or ALL of them.
