Hello Dennis,
Still playing them there options?
The revised lines that Bruce and I have been discussing are explained in Dr. Carroll Aby's book Point & Figure Charting, The Complete Guide. He, like Tom and others before him, are "Keepers of the art."
I enjoy reading what all the keepers of the art have to say. Each one teaches something new. Then, I enjoy doing my own thinking and research.
You are right about computers and P&F charts but I'm not aware of any that insert trend lines automatically.
You're talking about optimized P&F Dennis. Check out Kermit Zieg's book on that subject. I'm still using Cohen's box sizes on stocks and Chartcraft box sizes on the market indicators and I've created a few indicator's of my own -- but, it's the market indicators that I'm most dissatisfied with given their very limited non adoptive box sizes. I'm charting four different box sizes on the Dow and S&P. (On the market indicators, I'm using dates instead of X's and O's. Makes real comparisions much easier. 1 thru 10 is easy. Eleven is E, twelve is T, thirteen R, fourteen F, etc. When the month changes I highlight the box and put the month at the bottom of the chart.)
I have Technifilter+ which will allow a number of P&F experiments but I haven't done a damn thing with it yet. Our good friend David Jones has done a great deal of experimenting with TF+ and P&F charts. Perhaps he'll share with the thread some of his findings. Hey David -- say a few words about some of the things you've found.
Take care,
Eric |
