Bill,
I have compared your images to Dorsey Wright (arguably the standard for PnF) and they match Stockcharts graph (at first glance).
Just an FYI.

Using a box size of 10 reduced the columns to 6
rather than StockCharts 8. The main problem (see previous screen shots) is
that with the same box size and reversal (1 x 3) as StockCharts the two
charts are different which suggests a difference in logic, code, etc.
Which one is right? Since posting the two screenshots, I checked them
against Metastock and as far as I can tell without dates apfxtraders chart is
the same. Unless there are other parameters that I'm not aware of it looks
like StockCharts is the odd one. I have sent the Metastock chart to
StockCharts to see if they can explain the difference. Let's see what they
say (hopefully, more than we're right - period).

Bill,
Change the boxsize in AB to 10 to see if that
makes a difference. Most PnF charting apps have boxsize modified
automatically. You will have to manually change it
here.

I checked your code against StockCharts chart (
http://stockcharts.com/def/servlet/SC.pnf?chart=$NDX,PLTADANRBO[PA][D][F1!3!!!2!20]&pref=G)
for ^NDX. Screen shots of both are attached. As you can see, the
number of columns (and reversal levels) is different. For example,
looking at the more recent columns (from the last major drop), StockCharts
has 8 columns and your code produces 16. Might there be a factor of
two difference somewhere? I played around with the four "/ 2" in the
code but that did not seem to have any effect. Any idea what is going
on?
