Software Used to Trade Jack Hershey Methods

Tums, you asked offline for a chart pic -- it is fairly bland as I had already shutdown but it shows the VolCheck ...

I really miss the trendline alerts in QT and it seems that it would be a simple addition to PP_ChannelsTool... (for a good programmer)

The logic to know when a line has been breached must already be there because he makes VEs automatically on the LTL. I would like to add an Alert() to the RTL side =
Alert("RTL"+CurrentBar, NinjaTrader.Cbi.Priority.High, "RTL Break!", "Alert4.wav", 60, Color.Yellow , Color.Black);

but I need help from a better programmer than I.... Anyone else interested in trying it?
 
Here you go, LT - only tested one day, so use at your own risk:) .

Select the channel and type Ctrl + a to toggle the alert.

When do you actually use this? The RTL seems a bit late for most actions....

Thanks so much, palinuro! I'll play with it through the week-end. May tweak it a bit if you don't mind. Love the on-screen notation!

Well, like Mak once said, the RTL is the final exit. If nothing else, it is like a killer stop. For me, I tend to multiplex and my visual attention is not always on the screen, so I got used to the TL alerts.
 
Oh boy. I've played & mucked and have tried to code what I want.... But something isn't right & I suspect that I do not understand Pepe's code very well.

I want the alarm to disable when the chart current bar has moved beyond the end of the drawn channel (I thought that was P4). But it isn't working. I also tried to set the alert timeout to what is left in the current bar (vs 10 seconds).
Given this, I would actually prefer the user input alert setting to set the alert default on all channels (on or off) and the Ctl-A as an individual toggle. But I haven't done that.

Tweaked the message & colors to match the channel. Made the alert sound an input parameter. That part was easy.

The auto colors were driving me batty so I re-wrote & pulled it to a sub-method with a user enable. I probably mucked the colors before I realized I shouldn't so you will need to change them back to what you want, but at least you only have to set them in ONE place.

Any suggestions??

I'm afraid I don't have time to do anything more with this. I don't really see the point in having an alert switch off automatically, in any case, but you no doubt have different needs.

I understand, palinuro, and I appreciate the time and effort you expended already. You are a good programmer.

I posted what I had in the hopes that anyone who understands the code a tad better than I can give me some hints.

It simply isn't logical to me that an alert should still be triggered if the channel stopped 10 bars back. The channel ended and therefore, price did not cross the RTL. . .

I haven't given up. :)
 
Another NinjaTrader request from one of the non-cogniscenti. The IBGS bar (which may or may not also be an OB) is one of the most important species that Jack particularly, and Spyder as well, have talked about. During the day, I mark my chart with a "G" whenever I see one of these bars.

The rule for an IBGS is that the close must be at least 2 ticks below the open for a 'black' bar or 2 ticks above the open for a 'red' bar. I know that way back *several of you guys wrote some code for an IBGS but with all the new embellishments in the NT palette for Hershey traders, that coding does not, at least for me, fit in well.

Is there any way one of these more skilled programmers could cook up something that would be very simple, like a "G" print notation and without need to specify if the IBGS is up or down since if the trader can't figure that out, he/she should probably be doing something else.

Please undertsand that I am in no way belittling what has been done already. If I have missed the boat about how to correctly incorporate what is already available into my chart, then I await the appropriate schooling.

TIA

Larry,
I had modified my BarCheck to distinguish the IBGS degree so to speak. There's a parm now, which on ES I set to 0.25 (1 tick), which acts as a threshold.

If <0 but less than or equal to the threshold, a dot is plotted. Greater than the same triangle as before. The dot was supposed to be small but NT cannot keep the size constant. One day, I may change it to just a dash - I wanted something smaller than the triangle.
