Point-and-Figure Indicator for MetaTrader
5
Point-and-Figure MetaTrader 5 indicator is an indicator that can plot a point-and-figure chart directly in
the main window of your normal MT5 chart. You can set up all the point-and-figure method parameters,
such as the box size and the reversal distance, according to your preference. In addition, you can control
all the display parameters of the PnF chart. This point-and-figure indicator supports all sorts of alerts. It is
based on real ticks data, and thus is available only for MT5.
Point-and-figure charting is an alternative method of displaying price changes. Its main feature is that it
ignores time and takes into account only large enough changes in the exchange rates. Where "large
enough" is defined by the trader according to their trading goals and strategy.
Input parameters
BoxSize (default = 60) — the box size in points. The price has to exceed this value for a new X or O to
be printed on the chart.
Reversal (default = 3) — the number of boxes for a reversal. The price has to go as many box sizes in
the opposite direction before the chart is reversed from X's to O's or vice versa.
Days (default = 1) — the number of days to get the real tick data for to build the initial point-and-figure
chart. More days mean more data but require more computing power to process.
PriceToUse (default = Bid) — the price to use in point-and-figure chart building:
Bid — charting is based on the Bid price.

Midprice — charting is based on the average between the Bid and Ask prices.

AlertOnReversal (default = false) — if true, alerts will be issued whenever the point-and-figure chart
reverses from a column of X's to a column of O's or vice versa.

the above conditions.
EnableEmailAlerts (default = false) — if true, an email message will be sent for alerts. Email should be
properly configured in MetaTrader via Tools->Options->Email.
EnablePushAlerts (default = false) — if true, an email message will be sent for alerts. Notifications
should be properly configured in MetaTrader via Tools->Options->Notifications.

Experts tab of the Toolbox subwindow.
MaxObjects (default = 10000) — the maximum allowed number of chart objects (X's and O's) for the
indicator to create. You can use this parameter to prevent the indicator from overloading your platform
due to wrong settings.

The example image below shows 4 days of EUR/USD price action compressed into 47 columns of X's and
O's with the Point-and-Figure indicator in MT5. The box size is set to 60 points (6 pips) with reversal
equaling 3.
You can still do the classic support and resistance and trendline analysis with point-and-figure charts.
Some traders even operate using PnF chart patterns, for example, pennants, triangles, double tops and
bottoms.
Here is a sped-up video of the Point-and-Figure MT5 indicator plotting a chart for the BTC/USD pair using
$10 (1000 points) as the box size and the reversal value set to 3:
