Getting started
What is PnF Live?
PnF Live gives day-traders live intraday Point & Figure charts in the browser. The charts update during the session, and buy and sell signals are marked as they happen. There are no indicators to set up and no jargon to learn, just X's and O's.
What is a Point & Figure chart?
It is a chart that records price movement and leaves out time. A column of X's means price is rising, and a column of O's means price is falling. A new box is added only when price moves by a full box, and the chart changes direction only on a real reversal, so the small, noisy moves drop out. Our Knowledge Base explains it from the start.
Do I need to install anything?
No. PnF Live runs in your web browser on a computer, tablet or phone. Sign in and your watchlist is ready.
I'm new to Point & Figure. Where do I start?
Start with the P&F Knowledge Base. It's free to read and covers the basics, the classic signal patterns, trend lines and the history of the method.
Reading the charts
How do I spot a buy signal?
When a column of X's rises above the top of the previous column of X's, that's a buy signal. X marks the buy.
How do I spot a sell signal?
When a column of O's falls below the bottom of the previous column of O's, that's a sell signal. We call it Get Out of Dodge.
Why don't you show RSI, MACD or moving averages?
Because you don't need them. Point & Figure shows supply and demand directly in the chart. No candlestick charting mumbo jumbo, so there's less to read and fewer signals that disagree with each other.
How is the box size chosen?
PnF Live sets the box size for you based on each stock's price and uses the classic 3-box reversal, so charts are ready the moment you add a ticker.
Are the charts live?
Yes. Charts are built from intraday prices and update during the trading session, and signals appear the moment the pattern completes. Market data comes from third-party providers and can occasionally be delayed or interrupted, so always confirm prices with your broker before you trade.
Are the signals investment advice?
No. Signals describe chart patterns under the classic Point & Figure method. They aren't recommendations to buy or sell. Every trading decision is yours. See our Terms of Use.
