Point & Figure charts strip away time and volume, plotting only significant price moves. Rising prices are marked with columns of Xs; falling prices with columns of Os. A new column begins only when price reverses by a set multiple of the box size. This makes trends, double-tops, double-bottoms, and breakout patterns extremely easy to spot.
