Wyckoff Analytics – Bruce Fraser & Roman Bogomazov – Point & Figure Charting

Description of Point & Figure Charting

Legendary trader and educator Richard Wyckoff based his investment decisions primarily on analysis of market structure, supply and demand, and comparative strength.

A final, critical component of Wyckoff’s trade selection and management was his unique method of using Point-and-Figure (P&F) charts both to identify realistic price targets and to improve timing of entries and exits.

This technique works well for calculating reward-to-risk ratios and helping traders stay with a winning trade through normal corrections.

In Part I of this two-course series, Bruce Fraser and Roman Bogomazov cover the basics of using Point-and-Figure charts to calculate price targets using Wyckoff’s unique horizontal counting approach.  Bruce and Roman present the materials as case studies that start with a blank P&F chart and then, as the chart unfolds over time, they show you their step-by-step process for taking and projecting horizontal counts.

What You’ll Learn In Point & Figure Charting?

Starting with Wyckoff’s fundamental law of Cause and Effect, where the P&F count within a trading range represents the Cause and the subsequent price movement the Effect, Bruce and Roman cover:

• How to properly construct a Wyckoff-style Point-and-Figure chart
• Basic Wyckoff P&F count guidelines and modern applications
• P&F Phase Analysis to predict shorter- and longer-term price objectives for both long and short trades
• Using P&F counts in conjunction with bar charts to help time trade entries
