Access to Box Size and Reversal values for Point & Figure charts

[ours_solaire]

Hi,

My strategy uses Point & Figure (PNF) charts and I need read-only access to the various properties of the PNF DataSeries as set up on the chart that the strategy is running on.

I have tried looking in ChartBars.Properties etc.. but I can't find where these PNF properties are located, in particular the Box Size and Reversal values are what I'm after.

Any help appreciated!

Hello ours_solaire,

BoxSize - BarsArray[0].BarsPeriod.Value
Reversal - BarsArray[0].BarsPeriod.Value2

This can be found in the PointAndFigure script
SetPropertyName("Value", Custom.Resource.NinjaScriptBarsTypePointAndFigureB oxSize);
SetPropertyName("Value2", Custom.Resource.NinjaScriptBarsTypePointAndFigureR eversal);

I am using NT7.0.1000.37 version. When I try to plot P&F chart for Nifty Futures, I get disjointed Xs and Os as can be seen in the attachment. This instrument is defined as NIFTY_I and is linked to the NSE session. Please help me in finding the root cause of this issue.

Hello gdshan,

This may be due to gaps in the data.

Are there also gaps on a 1 minute chart?

Hi Chelsea

Gaps in data would indeed be there between days. However, P&F chart is supposed to fill it with either Xs or Os accordingly as its a gap up or gap down. In my case, chart simply plots like any time based chart. Hence wanted to check if I am missing any setup.

Hello gdshan,

With all bars including point and figure, a new bar will form at the start of a new session and this will not be connected with the last bar of the previous session.

This means there can be a gap there if the price at the close of one session is different than the open of the next session.
