Hi Anil,
I was interested in your comments (below) about P&F charting and the
Indexia/Technical Analyst software - so I'm running the free trial on it.
However, so far I cannot see much difference in the charts in comparison to
Metastock, except for as you say the vertical/horizontal counts. It does not
seem to include pattern recognition on P&F charts.
Could you kindly tell me some of the differences? I am genuinely interested,
since I want to learn more about P&F charting in general.
Many thanks,
Nick
