The Investigator Advantage
Point-And-Figure
Point-And-Figure is a charting technique that was developed by Charles Dow. It was traditionally composed of lines that were made up of X’s and O’s. (Investigator uses colors to distinguish the lines instead.) The height of each X and O box is based on a price range that is user determined. For example, if a price of a financial increment is between 5 and 20, the box height is 0.5 by default, while if prices are between 20 and 100, the box height is 1 by default. Point-And-Figure charting is unique in that a bar does not represent a specific date. New bars are created only if prices have reversed a certain number of boxes.
