Point Swing Charts provide a filter to the one-day swing chart. Just as the one-day swing chart is our first filter applied to the bar chart to remove ‘noise'.
Point Swing Charts are often referred to as X-Point Swing Charts. The value of ‘X' is derived by finding the average daily swing size over a sample period. By setting the value of the X-point swing slightly in excess of this average swing size - it will in turn filter out daily swings less than average size.
For example, while a market was continuing to rally you would continue moving the ‘X' point chart upward until you have a reaction of ‘X' or greater on the daily swing chart.
By filtering out less than average swings on the daily chart, Point Swing Charts can provide a clearer insight into the direction of the main trend.
Each chart type has its own chart properties dialog box from which its display properties can be altered by the user.
