many people/programs do use closing prices for PnF charts -
my experience has been that mutual fund types do this frequently

however, Atin is correct, highs and lows are used to create PnF charts

That's right - in our experience the high/low is a better way to look at support/resistance and this is how most of the books on P&F talk about it. One of these days I'll add close only charts to StockCharts.com so users can choose their own style (default will remain high/low). For now, if I don't have high/low prices, I will default to close (for mutual funds for example) but otherwise I will use high/low.
