Well, this is running on Tradestation......which begs the question that had me wondering as well. I always thought there was just one box size and when I saw TS had an entry for a "x" by "y" set of values I was even more lost than usual. I imagine the only way to grasp what TS is doing is to sit down with a Tick Chart and compare it to the TS version of Point and Figure. Perhaps the 0.5 represents a price movement....a movement up or down of 0.50 SnP points and the 3 is the setting for the number of points in the box. Perhaps, just perhaps, I should do the unthinkable.....yes, perhaps I should read the TS manual. Nah, too easy.
