Point & Figure Trading Strategy

Postby johnsel » 01 Jun 2013

I'm interested in developing a PnF trading strategy.
Does MC Powerlanguage have a way to determine the type of the current column?
eg: if the current column is a down column, I want to put a buy order when a new up column is established.
ie: if (currentcolumn is down) buy next bar at market.
I've read how trading orders differ on PnF charts on the Wiki (https://www.multicharts.com/trading-sof ... and_Figure) but it doesn't say if there is a function I can call to determine the type of the column.
Thanks.

If I were building a strategy, I would build it from a Point n Figure simulator. You will have exact control over the price movement.

Hello johnsel,

There is no reserved word for that.
