I have read the Dorsey book too, and some others
I also used the following websites as assistance for use of P&F
http://members.ozemail.com.au/~sarcher/
http://www.stockcharts.com/education/How/AnalysisTools/pnfCharts.html
Plus a few others
One thing I note about most references is that they use the HiLo P&F, with
the box size varying according to the price range. My basic P&F for both
Close prices and HiLo is sizing the box on the last range of prices, and
assign that box size to all the chart. I have produced a PF that has
variable box sizes according to the price ranges, but it can be hard to use
as it needs to be broken into the number of boxes on the Yaxis. You need to
convert this back to prices, although I have done that in the title of the
chart for a selected column. This has the file name incorporating Vbox in
it, not certain if it is on the yahoo or AB websites, but I believe I did
send a version of it to my website.
Not certain what you mean by Brand of P&F.
Cheers,
Graham

Graham,
Thoroughly checked your code and was impressed by your efforts -
although I did make a few superficial mods. Don't actually know
much about P&F charts so I checked out "Point & Figure Charting" by
Thomas J. Dorsey and from that book was able to better understand
the P&F method. I decided to follow his methodology, at least as
closely as I could. Also was wondering what "brand" of P&F you use
or what references do you use? Thanks again for the code and for
your help.
