Point & Figure Charting

Hi Tony, just started reading this thread and just wanted to thank you for the great efforts you have taken to educate novices like me.

I also want to try and implement the learning’s and decided to give a look at the PnF chart of one of the discussed stocks here on Valuepickr: Muthoot Capital Services, so correct me if I am wrong, Muthoot has given a BUY signal at 80, indicating change in the trend after it has given a SELL signal on 124 in Jan’13. And the stock had made another double top and gave another BUY signal at 84, making higher tops.

Does this means, there is a change in trend.

I have just started reading on your lessons, so still have to pick complex stuff I guess.

Hello!

A small correction. Point and Figure charting does not speak about CCI, RSI and Momentum. I use it in conjunction with Point and Figure as it has benefited me tremendously. If you wish to know more about it, I will be pleased to guide you.

As for BUY and SELL levels, one has to decide for oneself.The trend is currently up. Remember Trend is your Best Friend. This is the best time to clean your portfolio too.

Now with the Markets at new highs, one has to be wary and watchful for any signs of weakness. Personally I am only a Seller at the moment. Will wait for correction to set in to begin to BUY.

BE FEARFUL WHEN OTHERS ARE GREEDY AND BE GREEDY WHEN OTHERS ARE FEARFUL

Hello Ramesh,

Thank you for your wishes and please do convey my wishes to your family too.

The stock is in O column and on a BUY signal. Correction has set in the stock. If it falls below 126, it will give a sell signal. It has made a double bottom at 129. The good thing to note is that this stock has been making Higher Tops and Higher Bottoms since July 2013. Wait for the correction to complete. Next support is at 124-116-114-108.

http://chartink.com/stocks/524091.html

The stock is showing bearish signs. The RSI is at 55, CCI at -7.8 and Momentum -6 all indicating short term negative trend in the stock. Good levels to look at are 119, 103. If it falls below 103 then one can expect a change in trend and a huge fall as this is the 200 day EMA.

There is some profit booking happening in the stock. The RSI is still in over bought territory but has begun to fall. So is the CCI and Momentum showing signs of falling. Good levels to watch now are 193 its 25 day EMA, 184-50 day EMA and 179 its 200 day EMA. Any fall below 179 will trigger a huge fall.

http://chartink.com/pointfigure/SHILPAMED.html

On the PnF charts the stock is in X column and on a BUY signal. Faces next resistance at 220. If it breaks this, the stock will give a new high. It has support at 215 where it had earlier made 5 attempts and on the 6th attempt it broke to 220. Support now exists at 175. Be patient and BUY on dips.

Tony

Dear Kushal,

I must commend you for trying to understand Point and Figure charting. The BUY signal at 82 in August 2013 after a double top is correct. The SELL signal at 210 in January 2013 happened after making a double bottom at 215. Could not understand how you arrived at 124???. Nor could locate 84 as a BUY signal.

It is important to mention the month and the year when you refer to certain levels. Have you read the book Point and Figure charting by Tom Dorsey??. If not, give me your mail id and I will send you a copy. If you need any help, I will be pleased to assist you.

If you want me to analyse Muthoot for you let me know. I will do it for you over here.

Hi Tony,

Just read the thread over the night :slight_smile:

Have already downloaded the book from the gmail id and password provided on the thread.

SELL signal at 124 in Jan’13, after that the stock made continuous lower double bottoms, and the trend continued till Oct’13 when it gave a buy signal at 80, and later in the same month i.e. Oct’13 it made another higher top at 84.

Also, looks like 10 day EMA broke the 21 day EMA from below.

Please clarify, if I have still got it wrong.

Would also be great if you can share the latest bullish percent and also give your thoughts on it.

Thanks in advance.

Kushal,

There is some confusion in your reading. The no. 1 represents January. The highest price the stock reached in January 2013 is 245 and the lowest is 200. The stock gave a SELL signal at 210 and from then on made Lower Tops and Lower Bottoms till it touched 74 in August 2013. The short term trend changed in August till September and again the stock fell. For the long term trend to change the stock has to trade above the Bearish Resistance Line (red line).

To read the short term trend I use the 5 day EMA and 25 day EMA. On 23rd October, the 5 day EMA cut the 25 day EMA from below. The stock moved up but not very much.

I will put up the Bullish Percent readings shortly.

BULLISH PERCENT CHART:

I have attached the Bullish Percent Chart which tell a lot. A picture speaks a thousand words. Please read it carefully. There is lots to learn.

As a Diwali gift I will be giving a write up on importance of Sector and the Market. This will open your horizons as to what is happening in the market as well as how important it is to be in the correct sector. Will put up the sector readings later.

Do give me your feed back.

In my previous post I had attached the Bullish Percent Chart. The charts were for the Market (BSE Sensex 100) and also certain sectors like FMCG, Healthcare, Bankex etc.

So what is the function of a Sector or Market Bullish Percent? It measures the percentage of stocks in a particular sector which are on a BUY SIGNAL. This is plotted on a grid from 0 percent to 100 percent.

When the Sector Bullish Percent Chart is in the X column it means that there are more BUYERS of the stocks in the sector than SELLERS. When the Sector Bullish Percent Chart is in the O column, it means that there are more SELLERS of the stocks in the Sector than BUYERS.

One more thing of importance here is the interpretation of the chart. Whenever the X column reaches the zone of 70 percent and above it is a HIGH RISK zone and one has to become alert. This is because all the people who wanted to be invested in that sector are already in and thus the demand for the sector would not rise.

Conversely when the O column reaches the zone of 30 percent and below it is a low risk zone and one has to get ready and alert once again. This is because all the people who wanted to dis-invest in that sector are already out and thus the selling pressure will abate.

To be a successful investor, it is very important to understand where the market is heading and analyse the sector too.

Let me explain the importance of SECTOR with an example. Let us take the BANKEX.

On 2nd July 2013, only 29 percent of the stock in this sector were on a BUY SIGNAL. This fell to 0 percent on 16th August, 2013 and continued to do so till 30th August, 2013. One very well remembers, that in September we had our new RBI Governor Dr. Raghuram Rajan. By 20th September 2013, the sector bullish percent touched 100 percent, meaning all the stocks in the Bankex turned to a BUY SIGNAL. Now, if anyone who had bought stocks of banks in the period 16th August to 30 August 2013 would have got them for very cheap valuations.The sector was completely oversold. In one month it gave investors a huge return.

Take the specific case of YES BANK. In the month of August it had touched Rs.220/-.In a matter of a month, it rallied to Rs. 390/- in the month of September. A return of Rs.170/- on an investment of Rs.220/-. Each one of you can do your own analysis and you will come the conclusion that it is very important to not only study the Market as a whole but also the SECTOR you wish to invest in.

Hi Tony,

That’s wonderfully summed up on the importance of sector selection. Can i request you to provide tech. analysis and better levels to accumulate the below stocks… Would be glad if you confirm if these are technically in long-term bull phase and their probable targets as well

http://chartink.com/pointfigure/AJANTPHARM.html

The stock is in X column and on a BUY signal. Support comes in at 780. A very strong stock trading above the BULLISH SUPPORT LINE since January 2013. If the stock falls below 860 it will start trading in the O column and one can expect some profit taking at this point.

http://chartink.com/stocks/ajantpharm.html

The stock is placed exactly at the 5 day EMA of 894. If it falls below this then one can expect support at 772 its 25 day EMA. The CCI started falling as is at 133. Watch for levels of 100. If it falls below 100, the stock will correct. This will give a buying opportunity.

Such stocks are a BUY on dips.

What’s the take on Shilpa Medicare , Mayur Uni n Page Tony pl?

Tony

SHILPA MEDICARE:

http://chartink.com/pointfigure/SHILPAMED.html

The stock made a new high today with good volumes. It gave a break out after 215 which was acting as a strong resistance. Now 215 will act as a strong support. Thereafter it has support at 175.

http://chartink.com/stocks/shilpamed.html

The stock is trading above the 5 and 25 day EMA. It has support at 221 and 200. RSI is at 80 and in over bought zone. CCI is 145 and Momentum at 29 are all positives showing the short term momentum is UP.

When stocks make new highs, they enter a new territory and hence one cannot predict the upper targets. Watch keenly the CCI which will show change in momentum if it begins to fall towards 100.

Tony

Hi Tony, Please take a look at Gruh chart. The 50DMA has cut 150DMA from below. Should something be expected here?
