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 ..

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: 1st April 2025.   Will Gold’s Rally Hold Strong as New Trade Tariffs Take Effect Tomorrow?   Gold continues to increase in value for a sixth consecutive day and is trading more than 17% higher in 2025. Amid fear of higher inflation, a recession and the tariffs war escalating investors continue to invest into Gold pushing demand higher. The trade policy from April 2nd onwards continues to be a key factor for the whole market. Can Gold maintain its upward trend? Trade Policy From Tomorrow Onwards Starting as soon as tomorrow, a 25% tariff will be imposed on all passenger cars imported into the United States. While this White House policy is anticipated to negatively affect European industrial performance, it will also lead to higher transportation and maintenance costs for everyday American taxpayers. The negative impact expected on both the EU and US is one of the reasons investors continue to buy Gold. Additionally, last month, President Donald Trump announced reciprocal sanctions against any trade partners that impose import restrictions on US goods. Furthermore, tariffs on products from Canada and the EU could increase even more if they attempt to coordinate a response. Overall, investors continue to worry that new trade barriers will prompt retaliatory measures, particularly from China, the Eurozone, and Japan. Any retaliation is likely to escalate the trade conflict and prompt another reaction from the US. Experts at Goldman Sachs and other investment banks warn that this will lead to rising inflation and unemployment. They also caution that it could effectively halt economic growth in the US.   XAUUSD 1-Hour Chart   The Weakness In The US Dollar Another factor which is allowing the price of XAUUSD to increase in value is the US Dollar which has been unable to maintain any bullish momentum. Despite last week’s Core PCE Price Index rising to its highest level since February 2024, the US Dollar has been unable to see any significant rise in value. Due to the US Dollar and Gold's inverse correlation, the price of Gold is benefiting from the Dollar weakness. Investors worry that new trade barriers will prompt retaliatory measures from China, the Eurozone, and Japan, potentially escalating the conflict. Experts at The Goldman Sachs Group Inc. believe that such actions by the US administration will drive rising inflation and unemployment while effectively halting economic growth in the country. Can Gold Maintain Momentum? When it comes to technical analysis, the price of Gold is not trading at a price where oscillators are indicating the instrument is overbought. The Relative Strength Index currently trades at 68.88, outside of the overbought area, since Gold’s price fell 0.65% during this morning’s session. However, even with this decline, the price still remains 0.40% higher than the day’s open price. In terms of fundamental analysis, there continues to be plenty of factors indicating the price could continue to rise. However, the price movement of the week will also partially depend on the employment data from the US. The US is due to release the JOLTS Job Vacancies for February this afternoon, the ADP Non-Farm Employment Change tomorrow, and the NFP Change and Unemployment Rate on Friday. If all data reads higher than expectations, investors may look to sell to lock in profits at the high price. Key Takeaway Points: Gold’s Rally Continues – Up 17% in 2025 as investors seek safety from inflation, recession fears, and trade tensions. Trade War Impact – New US tariffs and potential retaliation from China, the EU, and Japan drive uncertainty, boosting Gold demand. Weak US Dollar – The Dollar’s struggle supports Gold’s rise due to their inverse correlation. Gold’s Outlook – Uptrend may continue, but US jobs data could trigger profit-taking.

    • Date: 31st March 2025.   Trump Confirms Tariffs on All Countries, Sending Stocks Lower.   The NASDAQ continues to trade lower due to the US confirming the latest tariffs will be on all countries. In addition to this, bearish volatility also is largely due to the higher inflation data from Friday. The NASDAQ declines to its lowest price since September 11th 2024. Core PCE Price Index - Inflation Increases Again! The PCE Price Index read 2.5% aligning with expert forecasts not triggering any alarm bells. However, the Core PCE Price Index rose from 0.3% to 0.4% MoM and from 2.7% to 2.8% YoY, signalling growing inflationary pressure. This increases the likelihood that the Federal Reserve will maintain elevated interest rates for an extended period. The NASDAQ fell 2.60% due to the higher inflation reading which is known to pressure the stock market due to pressure on consumer demand and a more hawkish Federal Reserve. Boston Fed President Susan Collins recently commented that tariffs could drive up inflation, though the long-term impact remains uncertain. She told journalists that a short-term spike is the most probable outcome but believes the current pause in monetary policy adjustments is appropriate given the prevailing uncertainties. Although, certain investment banks such as JP Morgan actually believe the Federal Reserve will be forced into cutting rates. This is due to expectations that the economy will struggle under the new trade policy. For example, JP Morgan expects the Federal Reserve to delay rate cuts but will quickly cut towards the end of 2025. Market Risk Appetite Takes a Hit! A big factor for the day is the drop in the risk appetite of investors. This can be seen from the VIX which is up almost 6%, Gold which is trading 1.30% higher and the Japanese Yen which is the day’s best performing currency. Most safe haven assets, bar the US Dollar, increase in value. It is also worth noting that all indices are decreasing in value during this morning's Asian session with the Nikkei225 and NASDAQ witnessing the strongest decline. Previously the stock market rose in value as investors heard rumours that tariffs would only be on certain countries. This bullish swing occurred between March 14th and 25th. Over the weekend, President Donald Trump indicated that the upcoming tariffs would apply to all countries, not just those with the largest trade imbalances with the US. NASDAQ - Technical Analysis In terms of technical analysis, the NASDAQ continues to obtain indications that sellers control the price action. The price opens on a bearish price gap measuring 0.30% and trades below all Moving Averages on all timeframes. The NASDAQ also trades below the VWAP and almost 100% of the most influential components (stocks) are declining in value.     The next significant support level is at $18,313, and the resistance level stands at $20,367.95. Key Takeaway Points: NASDAQ falls to its lowest since September 2024 as the US confirms tariffs on all countries, adding to inflation concerns. Core PCE inflation rises to 0.4% MoM and 2.8% YoY, increasing the likelihood of prolonged high interest rates. Investor risk appetite drops as VIX jumps 6%, gold gains 1.3%, and safe-haven assets outperform. NASDAQ shows strong bearish momentum, trading below key technical levels with support at $18,313 and resistance at $20,367.95. Always trade with strict risk management.
