I would like to point out that 1 point reversals are incorrectly drawn by Incredible Charts. When a price moves 1 point and then reverses 1 point the chart should look like this: ...X ...O making a 1 step back. Incredible Charts does this: ...X .....O Please see Jeremy du Plessis's Definitive Guide to Point and Figure for a full explanation. I would also like to ask that Incredible Charts plots a correct grid on Point and Figure charts and defaults the diagonal drawing line to 45 degrees. A further enhancement would be to print the column numbers along the bottom X axis. The market wins because it has an edge! Traders blink first.  colin_twiggs Member Username: colin_twiggs Post Number: 3087 Registered: 09-2002 Rating: N/A Votes: 0 Wednesday, January 09, 2008 - 11:40 am:     njn, There is more than one method of constructing P&F charts. What you are suggesting is the DeVilliers method, normally used with live data rather than end-of-day data.

Mr. du Plessis explains the reason for back stepping has to do with the width of the chart and establishing price targets using the horizontal counting method. Using the DeVilliers method gives more accurate counts than the method of plotting 1 point reversal charts in Incredible Charts. Mr. du Plessis's book also gives a wealth of ideas to widen the scope of indicators to give Point and Figure chartists the same tools as those using time based methods. The market wins because it has an edge!

Here is an example of a 3x10 reversal chart drawn by Incredible charts. a is 46 b is 37 Here is a correct version from 2005.

If I understand you correctly, what you are looking for is a plain closing price reversal without the steps? Incredible Charts normal scale steps are set out here: http://www.incrediblecharts.com/technical/pnf_construction.htm#Normal+Scale Regards, Colin
