Managed Series – Part 1 Point and Figure

Most trading platforms can draw multiple charting styles – bar chart, candlestick, line, square, etc. For the more advanced ones, you can even plot point and figure charts, renko, kagi, momentum bars, volume bars, etc. Of course, NeoTicker can do all these charting styles, with the ability to varies the underlying data series through our superposition technology. The problem is, such charting styles can involves the use of retraction that retracts the bars that are already drawn, due to the fact that the latest price update is not the actual last price print for the underlying data series.
