Point and Figure Charts

Do you want to easily track trends and find buy and sell opportunities for stocks, currencies, cryptocurrencies or indices from most of the world's exchanges? If so then Point and Figure Charts is the app you need.

Point and Figure Charting is a technique developed somewhere between the late 1870's and the 1930's. It originates from hand drawn price tracking charts but has become an essential analysis tool today for stocks and currency trading. The charts compress huge amounts of data to only show significant movements in trend and breakouts from support and resistance lines. See the app's support site for more information on these chart types.

This app provides Point and Figure Charts generated on demand in your device based on end of day data (up to 20 years) with a wide range of user selectable parameters. Comparative line charts are also available.

Features include:

• Free stock data included and sourced by the app from Alpha Vantage. Most stocks in most exchanges supported.
• Setup as many Watchlists as you want - e.g. Portfolio, Currencies.
• Download and track stocks (e.g. AAPL, NAB.AUS, LSE.LON), currencies (e.g. AUDUSD=X), cryptocurrencies (e.g. BTC-AUD, ETH-AUD) and indices/indexes (e.g. ^DJI, ^AORD) in your chosen Watchlist using a heat map based display.

The stock data in this app comes from Alpha Vantage. For most stocks this is a great source of consistent data. Unfortunately they sometimes drop lesser referenced stocks (usually lesser known stocks on non-US exchanges) from the data feed without warning for periods ranging from days and longer. This is entirely outside of our control and is a real shame as in all other ways this is the best data source available. This dropping of a stock happens very infrequently but does happen.

This update provides better messaging and fixes a rarely seen bug for when the above occurs for a stock you previously had in your watchlist.
