Point & Figure

 Top  Previous  Next

Description

A point and figure chart is used for technical analysis. Unlike most other investment charts, point and figure charts do not present a linear representation of time. Instead, they show trends in price. The aim of point and figure charting is to filter out the "noise" (unimportant price movement) and focus on the main direction of the price trend.

There are two typical ways to plot point and figure charts - using closing prices, or with high/low prices
