Does anyone use point and figure charting?

Just wondering if anyone had any information on the subject or opinions for that matter.

Re: Does anyone use point and figure charting?

In his interview, Phantom of The Pits expressed his opinion on P&F charting.

Apparently, P&Fs are considered more reliable because they filter the market noise...

One trader I know trades exclusively on P&Fs and averages very well. Nowadays it's a rarity.

Yeah I agree. I have given it a cursory look and am considering going a little deeper into it. I am always looking for something to give me a better feel for the market.

Thanks for the info. I'll have to check out PoP.

You might want to get this book. There is a great section on P&F charting, also in entries and exits. It's the most anyone's done on explaining these types of charting on books.

Re: Does anyone use point and figure charting?

I have a couple of books on PF

http://www.amazon.com/Definitive-Gui.../dp/1897597630

Is arguably the best. It is also probably the most up to date.

There is a 'classic' but its name escapes me and I am not by the library right now but I though the one linked covered everything the other did and then went a wee bit further.

Re: Does anyone use point and figure charting?

Yeah looks good Blowfish. Thanks. I am always on the lookout for new ideas to test out. My main project now is MP, but P&F reminds me of an old school version of follwing supply and demand, so I am betting they are highly correlated...Thanks for the info!
