Point and Figure Setup

Point and Figure Charts

Point and Figure charts are used to identify support levels, resistance levels and chart patterns. Point & Figure ignores the time factor and concentrates solely on movements in price: a column of X’s or O’s may take one day or several weeks to complete.

• Click on the toolbar; or
