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: 3rd April 2025.   Gold Prices Pull Back After Record High as Traders Eye Trump’s Tariffs.   Key Takeaways:   Gold prices retreated after hitting a record high of $3,167.57 per ounce due to profit-taking. President Trump announced a 10% baseline tariff on all US imports, escalating trade tensions. Gold remains exempt from reciprocal tariffs, reinforcing its safe-haven appeal. Investors await US non-farm payroll data for further market direction. Fed rate cut bets and weaker US Treasury yields underpin gold’s bullish outlook. Gold Prices Retreat from Record Highs Amid Profit-Taking Gold prices saw a pullback on Thursday as traders opted to take profits following a historic surge. Spot gold declined 0.4% to $3,122.10 per ounce as of 0710 GMT, retreating from its fresh all-time high of $3,167.57. Meanwhile, US gold futures slipped 0.7% to $3,145.00 per ounce, reflecting broader market uncertainty over economic and geopolitical developments.   The recent rally was largely fueled by concerns over escalating trade tensions after President Donald Trump unveiled sweeping new import tariffs. The 10% baseline tariff on all goods entering the US further deepened the global trade conflict, intensifying investor demand for safe-haven assets like gold. However, as traders locked in gains from the surge, prices saw a modest retracement.   Trump’s Tariffs and Their Market Implications On Wednesday, Trump introduced a sweeping tariff policy imposing a 10% baseline duty on all imports, with significantly higher tariffs on select nations. While this move was aimed at bolstering domestic manufacturing, it sent shockwaves across global markets, fueling inflation concerns and heightening trade war fears.   Gold’s Role Amid Trade War Escalations Despite the widespread tariff measures, the White House clarified that reciprocal tariffs do not apply to gold, energy, and ‘certain minerals that are not available in the US’. This exemption suggests that central banks and institutional investors may continue favouring gold as a hedge against economic instability. One of the key factors supporting gold is the slowdown that these tariffs could cause in the US economy, which raises the likelihood of future Federal Reserve rate cuts. Gold is currently in a pure momentum trade. Market participants are on the sidelines and until we see a significant shakeout, this momentum could persist.   Impact on the US Dollar and Bond Yields Gold prices typically move inversely to the US dollar, and the latest developments have pushed the dollar to its weakest level since October 2024. Market participants are increasingly pricing in the possibility of a Fed rate cut, as the tariffs could weigh on economic growth.   Additionally, US Treasury yields have plummeted, reflecting growing recession fears. Lower bond yields reduce the opportunity cost of holding non-yielding assets like gold, making it a more attractive investment.         Technical Analysis: Key Levels to Watch Gold’s recent rally has pushed it into overbought territory, with the Relative Strength Index (RSI) above 70. This indicates a potential short-term pullback before the uptrend resumes. The immediate support level lies at $3,115, aligning with the Asian session low. A further decline could bring gold towards the $3,100 psychological level, which has previously acted as a strong support zone. Below this, the $3,076–$3,057 region represents a critical weekly support range where buyers may re-enter the market. In the event of a more significant correction, $3,000 stands as a major psychological floor.   On the upside, gold faces immediate resistance at $3,149. A break above this level could signal renewed bullish momentum, potentially leading to a retest of the record high at $3,167. If bullish momentum persists, the next target is the $3,200 psychological barrier, which could pave the way for further gains. Despite the recent pullback, the broader trend remains bullish, with dips likely to be viewed as buying opportunities.   Looking Ahead: Non-Farm Payrolls and Fed Policy Traders are closely monitoring Friday’s US non-farm payrolls (NFP) report, which could provide critical insights into the Federal Reserve’s next policy moves. A weaker-than-expected jobs report may strengthen expectations for an interest rate cut, further boosting gold prices.   Other key economic data releases, such as jobless claims and the ISM Services PMI, may also impact market sentiment in the short term. However, with rising geopolitical uncertainties, trade tensions, and a weakening US dollar, gold’s safe-haven appeal remains strong.   Conclusion: While short-term profit-taking may trigger minor corrections, gold’s long-term outlook remains bullish. As global trade tensions mount and the Federal Reserve leans toward a more accommodative stance, gold could see further gains in the months ahead.   Always trade with strict risk management.
