Re: Point & Figure charts.

Hello Simon Roberts,
 This is great! Perhaps we can combine our efforts?
I have already posted the indicator and if you find a different or
better approach, please share it. I agree that the Flip-Flop would
be the best approach and I'll put some thought toward this method.
I simply calculated the condition required for a reversal, then
filtered out the bad signals from the real reversals.

 Best wishes,
               Adam Hefner.
