Forex Point & Figure Trading Formula System
What if you could master 100 + year old time tested & proven system invented by Charles Dow himself…With a modern twist so powerful it can transform you into a top level trader in under 30 days.
Most trading methodologies use "time-related" indicators that lag behind the market. These indicators can cause even experienced traders to jump into "false moves" and chase sideways markets.
But what if there was a trading strategy that wasn't based on TIME, and instead focused solely on PRICE (the only indicator that DOESN'T LAG) and the movement of the markets?
Fortunately there is, and it's called Point & Figure!
“Point & Figure” is a charting method that follows changes in prices rather than time. Most charting systems (including candlesticks, line charts and bar charts) track values based on specific timeframes, so you can look at how values change over the course of minutes, hours, days, weeks, etc.
Point & Figure charts are very different, however, in that any column can represent any amount of time. In fact, time is completely irrelevant! If the price of the security, commodity or currency doesn’t change, then no new markings appear on the chart.
Now I realize that this may sound strange at first, especially if all you've ever dealt with are time-based charting methods. But consider this:
If you think about it, isn't time a somewhat arbitrary way to track market movement?
Last I checked, we as traders only make money when PRICES move. The fact that an hour, day or even week has gone by is irrelevant. The only thing that matters is PRICE MOVEMENT.
When It Comes To Market Data,
Sometimes LESS Is MORE...
Part of the original appeal of the point & figure method was that it made it easy for traders (before the age of computers) to maintain a large collection of data without becoming overwhelmed.
And if you think about it, it makes perfect sense…
Since point & figure charts only tracked the major movements rather than specific closing prices at specific times, data could be condensed into much more manageable sizes.
Just try to imagine what it would be like to track even one stock on a minute or even 30-minute basis before computers. It would be almost impossible!
Now try to imagine tracking 50 stocks over the same period of time…
…that truly is impossible!
But by filtering out the insignificant moves, traders could now analyze over 50 charts in a day with just a few pages of graph paper and a pencil! And as a side benefit, the picks they made were actually MORE ACCURATE and MORE PROFITABLE because they weren’t distracted by the “false reversals” or enticed to jump into “sideways markets”.
Thanks to the beauty and simplicity of the Point & Figure system, all this “noise” was filtered out automatically!
For example, look at these two charts for the exact same currency pair during the exact same block of time...
