Point and Figure Charting : Volume On X's Or O's !

Recommended Posts

Point and Figure Charting : Volume On X's Or O's !

 

I'm looking for a software that has Point and Figure Charting with the function abilities to code such indicator that do this on the P&F Chart ..

 

I really want to have a help about coding an indicator that doing like this :

 

P&F Charting draws columns of X's and O's , and during forming such X's or O's there will be volume which represent the tick volume happens through such forming ..

 

 

Again : I'm talking about the Ticks that happens through the building of each X or O as an individual entity , not talking about the Whole column of X's or O's.

So : I'm asking about an indicator that counts the Ticks that happens through the forming of each individual X or O , Not the Whole Column of X's or O's.

My cheers ..

Omran : as to my knowledge it doesnt exist such thing, and I dont know if TS could be capable of showing such information on a chart... now your idea its very very interesting, because you would combine a very sutil volume analisis with P&F... I think that such an idea would need to be developed on a stand alone aplication with external data feed compatibilty like an esignal data manager... obviously that will require a professional programmer...

How would you display the volume? You cant put it on the X axis (as you only have 1 space per column) and you can't put it on the Y axis (as you only have 1 space per row).

 

I would hazard a guess there is/are P&F ELD(s) knocking around somewhere that you could probably modify.

The solution is to write the volume as a number inside each X or O ..

 

What is the P&F ELD(s) ?

 

Have you got any ideas to help ?

 

 

I still look for a constructive Help ...

Check out Ant's Market Delta indicator. It has some elements of what you are looking for. It shows volume per price, but it is not P&F chart. It might be a good start.

 

Hello ..

 

Where can I find : Ant's Market Delta indicator ?

Where can I read about it ...

 

 

I still favour to include the concept of P&F Charting as it compress that whole data of the BIG PICTURE in a small view ..

 

 

thanx

ELD is the format of easy languages script files. Sometimes called ELA's which was an older format.

 

Rather than write numbers (that are hard to digest) why not use different shading to represent the intensity of the volume? You could have a background behind '0' go from a very pale red to dark red and 'X' go from pale blue to dark blue for example. That also preserves the symetry of the O and X which I think is important. You would need pretty large boxes to print maybe a 4 or 5 digit number in. Just athought.

 

I am guessing you don't want to pay for this? I came across a couple of guys who sell P&F software for tradestation. They may change there stuff if they could see it adds value towhat they are selling.

 

Cheers.

Oh btw I am guessing that English might not be your first language but by saying that you are still 'looking for constructive help' it kind of implies that the help you are getting is not constructive. This is not the best way to get people to continue to assist you.

 

Cheers.

The guys I had in mind where

 

Point & Figures DLL Pierre Orphin

 

and

 

SnapDragon Systems Limited Adam Hartley

 

I have never used them there porducts or services but they offer a standard P&F solution for tradestation that they may modify for you as they do bespoke too.

 

I also came across some metastock code that might possibly be converted. I'll search for the link later.

 

Also There are also a couple of people that do inexpensive standalone P&F software they tend to read data from ascii or metastock files (I.e. no real time data feed) maybe they might include volume by request?

 

The more I think about it the more I like the idea of what you are trying to visualise though Id go with colors myself :-)

 

Cheers.

hi there ..

thanx BlowFish for all the ideas you come up with ..

 

regarding the first two links .. How can we improve it to include the volume in as i have asked ?

 

regarding the metastock code .. what does it do exactly ?

 

Oooooh :confused: : Whom are those the two new guys ?

 

It seems that you get me right , still wish to do it ..

 

 

cheers man

Is this something along the lines of what you're looking for:

PNF_Volume.png

 

Very easy to do in MarketDelta. That chart shows volume at price. The X's and O's are optional. You can show trades at each price as opposed to volume at each price. You can display the volume or trades as a histogram instead of text. Alot of flexibility in this area.

 

One note on the chart above...I'm sure you'll notice that often the lowest X or the highest O does not have any volume associated with it. That is just the nature of PNF bar formations. A bar of Os will continue to form (and the volume will continue to flow to the O bar) until price moves to the reversal price. The first tick at that reversal price will start the new bar/column of Xs. However, the instant the X bar begins, 3 X's are automatically draw even though we've only traded at once of those 3 prices. Price may not trade back down to where the lowest X was printed and often doesn't. I hope this is clear.

I'm not familiar with the C# programming language, but attached is a file with all the chart types for NinjaTrader 7 and PnF charts is included. If you or someone you know can isolate the PnF code, you have somewhere to start in developing your code. NinjaTrader uses NinjaScript which is C#. See attached file. Personally, I'd like to see someone develop the code for the Wyckoff PnF charts for NinjaTrader. The Bar type code is located in My Documents / NinjaTrader 7 / bin / custom / type / @BarTypes.cs

I can't understand what's for you need to develop such code for Ninja. because in chart preferencies somewhere in data series choose point-&-figure chart & you'll have the chart in the form of point&figure...

 

if I've understand correctly you question...

 

or Wyckoff PnF chart differs from that one in Ninja?

    • Date: 2nd April 2025.   Market on Edge: Tariff Announcement and Volatility Ahead!   The US economic and employment data continues to deteriorate with the job vacancies figures dropping to a 5-month low. In addition to this, the IMS Manufacturing PMI also fell below expectations. However, both the US Dollar and Gold declined simultaneously following the release of the two figures, an uncommon occurrence in the market. Traders expect a key factor to be today’s ‘liberation day’ where the US will impose tariffs on imports. USDJPY - Traders Await Tariff Confirmation! Traders looking to determine how the USDJPY will look today will find it difficult to determine until the US confirms its tariff plan. Today is the day when Trump previously stated he would finalize and announce his tariff plan. The administration has not yet released the policy, but investors expect it to be the most expansionary in a century. President Trump is due to speak at 20:00 GMT. On HFM's Calendar the speech is stated as "US Liberation Day Tariff Announcement". Currently, analysts are expecting Trump’s Tariff Plan to impose tariffs on the EU, chips and pharmaceuticals later today as well as reciprocal tariffs. Economists have a good idea of how these tariffs may take effect, but reciprocal tariffs are still unspecified. In addition to this, 25% tariffs on the car industry will start tomorrow. The tariffs on the foreign cars industry are a factor which will particularly impact Japan. Although, traders should note that this is what is expected and is not yet finalised. Last week, President Trump stated that he would implement retaliatory tariffs but allow exemptions for certain US trade partners. Treasury Secretary Mr Bessent and National Economic Council Director Mr Hassett suggested that the restrictions would primarily target 15 countries responsible for the bulk of the US trade deficit. However, yesterday, Trump contradicted these statements, asserting that additional duties would be imposed on any country that has implemented similar measures against US products. The day’s volatility will depend on which route the US administration takes. The harshness of the policy will influence both the Japanese Yen as well as the US Dollar.   USDJPY 5-Minute Chart   US Economic and Employment Data The JOLT Job Vacancies figure fell below expectations and is lower than the previous month’s figure. The JOLT Job Vacancies read 7.57 million whereas the average of the past 6 months is 7.78 million. The ISM Manufacturing Index also fell below the key level of 50.00 and was 5 points lower than what analysts were expecting. The data is negative for the US Dollar, particularly as the latest release applies more pressure on the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates. However, this is unlikely to happen if the trade policy ignites higher and stickier inflation. In the Bank of Japan’s Governor's latest speech, Mr Ueda said that the tariffs are likely to trigger higher inflation. USDJPY Technical Analysis Currently, the Japanese Yen Index is the worst performing of the day while the US Dollar Index is more or less unchanged. However, this is something traders will continue to monitor as the EU session starts. In the 2-hour timeframe, the USDJPY is trading at the neutral level below the 75-bar EMA and 100-bar SMA. The RSI and MACD is also at the neutral level meaning traders should be open to price movements in either direction. On the smaller timeframes, such as the 5-minute timeframe, there is a slight bias towards a bullish outcome. However, this is only likely if the latest bearish swing does not drop below the 200-Bar SMA.     The key resistant level can be seen at 150.262 and the support level at 149.115. Breakout levels are at 149.988 and 149.674. Key Takeaway Points: Job vacancies hit a five-month low, and the ISM Manufacturing PMI missed expectations, adding pressure on the Federal Reserve regarding interest rate decisions. Traders await confirmation on Trump’s tariff policy, which is expected to impact the EU, chips, pharmaceuticals, and foreign car industries. The severity of the tariffs will influence both the JPY and the USD, with traders waiting for final policy details. The Japanese Yen Index is the worst index of the day while the US Dollar Index is unchanged. Always trade with strict risk management.
