Still no vertical counts or fibonacci retracements in QPnf.

I'm still trying to figure out how to choose the column to calculate these automatically.

For vertical counts I was thinking of using the latest (in time) unbroken trendline and using the starting column as the top or bottom. Then I start looking right for the next breakout/breakdown column and use that to calculate the vertical count. Seems to work most of the time but not always! Anyone have any better suggestions?

Similar thing for fibonacci retracements -- use the same column, but now look for the high (or low) after that and use these two as the extremes to calculate fibonacci retracements.

One thing I was trying also was just taking the first breakout column after the uptrend starts, and multiplying the column length by 3.236 (2*1.618) like is done for Elliot waves for calculating the top of wave 5 after you've seen wave 1. You take the result and add it to the top and bottom of the column to get the max and min price objectives. I know this can't be that simple, but I want to try it out anyway :-)
