In this book, Thomas J. Dorsey shows you, step-by-step, how to create, maintain, and interpret your own point and figure charts. He explains how you can use your findings to track and forecast market prices and develop an overall investment strategy. Perhaps most importantly, he helps you develop confidence in the market and in your own ability to take decisive action at the appropriate time, rather than reacting belatedly to rapidly changing market conditions.

Point and Figure Charting isn't just for brokers. It's a simple, clear, straightforward presentation of the oldest and most completely tested method for technical analysis of stock prices. This classic method is both simple and accurate enough to enable every investor to become a technical analyst. With the help of this book, you will find yourself tracking not only individual stocks, but also market segments, commodities mutual funds, and more.

You will learn to use important market indicators such as the NYSE Bullish Percent; make and use relative strength calculations; apply sector rotation; and trade options, commodities, and other financial instruments using point and figure charting.
