POINT AND FIGURE LIBRARY

INTRODUCTION
This part of the website is a reference point for those who are not entirely familiar with point & figure charts. It is meant to be a synopsis. For a fuller treatment see any of the books listed below. A number of books have been published about point & figure charts. I do not remotely suggest that those not contained on the list below are not worth reading. The original work by AW Cohen How to Use the Three-Point Reversal Method of Point and Figure Stock Market Trading is out of print.
