Point-and-figure

Significado en lenguaje sencillo

Point-and-figure charts record price reversals in columns and generally omit uniform time spacing.

Por qué es útil

Point-and-figure is useful as descriptive evidence when it is compared on the same definition, source, period, unit and exact listing. It is one input to research, not a verdict.

Dónde aparece en XMarketRadar

Look for Point-and-figure in Advanced Chart settings, indicator panels, screeners and technical research for the selected listing and bar interval.

Cómo se calcula o se obtiene

Process one selected scalar per source bar into X/O columns using the configured percentage, absolute or ATR box and reversal-box count. Daily OHLC does not disclose intrabar high-low order, so XMarketRadar does not invent it.

Entradas, período y unidad

Read the disclosed inputs or source, observation period, bar interval, unit, native currency and scale. A value without its source and as-of context is incomplete; unlike units must not be combined.

Ejemplo práctico

Illustrative only: With a ₹1 box and three-box reversal, a move from ₹100 to ₹105 builds X boxes; price must reverse by ₹3 to start the next O column under those settings.

Qué significan alto y bajo

A higher or lower Point-and-figure value is descriptive, not automatically good or bad. Meaning depends on the instrument, comparison period, method and related evidence.

Positivo, negativo y cero real

Positive and negative Point-and-figure values retain the definition shown here. A genuine reported or computed zero is displayed as 0 and is not the same as missing evidence.

Cuándo no está disponible

Unavailable (—) means Point-and-figure is absent, unsupported, stale under the screen's rules or not computable from verified inputs. It must never be converted to zero or a neutral signal.

Limitaciones y errores comunes

Point-and-figure may differ by provider definition, observation time, instrument and venue. Common mistakes are dropping units or dates, comparing unlike scopes, and treating a missing value as zero.

Diferencias según el mercado

The concept is used across all supported markets, but currency, price scale, session calendar, source field and regulatory definition can differ. XMarketRadar preserves the exact exchange context.
