Point and Figure Charting in Ninja8

[wewwk]

Dear all,
I have searched the forum and find this video on how to plot a pnf chart.

I've followed the steps and result and like the general candlesticks.
Are my settings wrong?
Thanks.

Hello wewwk,

Thank you for the post and welcome to the NinjaTrader forum.

What version of NinjaTrader are you using? This can be found under Help -> About (Example: 8.0.X.0)

I look forward to your reply.

@wewwk: everything is ok but the 'X' and 'O' are compressed which makes it look like candlesticks. Just increase the x (date) and y (price) axis and you will see.

Try lower your box size (to 1). 50 days is very large to use.

my data is large in numbers
range from 20000 to 28000
so i need 50 as box size

Ok, then the chart will look like it does. Nothing wrong it. The reason you don't see the x's and o's is because they are compressed (because of the large data size). You won't see candlesticks and your chart doesn't show candlesticks because you don't see tails.What you see are compressed x-s and o's. Good luck!
