    I am getting more and more interested in Point and figure trading

    found this free book "The Point and Figure Method of Anticipating Stock Price Movement" written by Victor Devilliers

    http://book.pointandfigure.com

    It is a good read and gives good basic understanding of point and figure method and point and figure charts.

    My problem with PnF charting is that the bread-and-butter buy and sell signals appear nearly at random.

    Bottom line: PnF, in and of itself, offers no better than coin-toss odds for success. I understand that the technique is enjoying a quasi-religious revival in some circles but methinks the emperor wears no clothes.

    Some may find it helpful as a trend filter but, for heavens sake, don't play in the traffic using PnF alone! :eek:
