21st Century Point and Figure

Jeremy du Plessis' new techniques will truly revolutionise this method of charting, dragging it kicking and screaming into the new century.Nicole Elliott, STA

Jeremy du Plessis has once again taken Point and Figure charting (P&F) to a new level. He has continued from where his first book (The Definitive Guide...) left off, by showing how pretty much any technical indicator can now be plotted on a P&F chart. This ranges from oscillators, moving averages, price bands/Donchian channels, and now even volume. But with one added benefit - when these traditional indicators are combined with P&F buy/sell signals for confirmation, it increases their effectiveness, resulting in fewer false signals (whipsaws). This in itself is a huge advantage. I particularly like his new breadth indicators that are unique to Point and Figure, which now further increase the effectiveness of P&F charts. Mr du Plessis has taken Point & Figure from a well-respected method of charting prices, and turned it into stand-alone branch of technical analysis.Colin Abrams, CMT, TheMarket.co.za

Mr du Plessis has taken traditional Point and Figure charts and successfully integrated key momentum indicators, volume and other commonly used tools, bringing Point and Figure analysis into the 21st century. As a market technician who has used Point and Figure for 20 years, I strongly believe that there is no better time to educate yourself on these updated approaches, first to better navigate the 'noise' that is bound to persist in all types of markets, and second to be able to effectively expand your horizons of market observation across the globe. With such high reliability, and a uniquely objective and quantifiable nature, there is no charting technique like Point and Figure, and this book can guide you to mastery of it.Craig Johnson, CFA, CMT / Senior Technical Market Strategist, Piper Jaffray / President, Market Technicians Association

Du Plessis brings Point and Figure into the modern era with new insights and innovation to enhance this time-proven technique.

It pushes the envelope for Point and Figure enthusiasts to help them use their skill in new ways.Gordon Scott, Managing Director, CMT Program, Market Technicians Association
