Point & Figure

Point & Figure rebuilds the venerable time-independent charting method as a live overlay: alternating X and O columns drawn beside the last price bar, advancing only on a full box and reversing only after a 3-box retrace by default. The definitive clean build of Point & Figure keeps the classic high/low construction, prints double and triple signals mechanically, and carries the counting arithmetic as live objective levels.

How to Trade the Point & Figure?

• Double top / bottom signals: a column printing one box past the previous same-direction column's extreme, highlighted, with a triangle on the price bar.
• Triple top / bottom signals: a break past two matching column extremes, marked with diamonds.
• 45° trendlines: bullish support rises one box per column from bottoms, bearish resistance falls from tops, flipping when pierced.
• Count objectives: vertical counts project from a breakout column's height, horizontal counts from congestion width, estimates removed once reached or negated.

Alerts cover column reversals and all four breakouts; the dashboard shows box size, reversal, current column, and last signal.
