The Point and Figure indicator designed for Metatrader 5 creates a visual representation of a point and figure chart in a dedicated window.
The Point and Figure chart is displayed as a series of green and red colored candles.
Why use Point and Figure trading charts?
Point and figure charts are unique as they exclude the time element and focus solely on the upward and downward movements of the price.
These charts do not display sideways price action, offering a simplified perspective on price trends.
To enhance the accuracy of trade entry and exit signals, it is advisable to combine Point and Figure charts with additional trading indicators.
The indicator inputs and variables that can be adjusted include the following: price step, the threshold for determining a change in direction, and the number of bars used for verification.
Familiarize yourself with the Point and Figure indicator and conduct thorough testing on a demo account before trading live with it.
