Must have miised this post due to holiday period in UK...

P & F charting on MS 8 is not accurate at all...there are errors 
galore...it is amazing that oldest and simplest form of charting - P 
& F is not given same serious consideration as candle charts etc...

Do you use any other P & F charting package??...or do you rely on MS 
8????..how do you determine Vertical and Horizontal counts etc????

regards

anil
