A Comprehensive Guide to the Theory and Practical Use of the 1-Box, 3-Box, 5-Box and Other Variations of the Point and Figure Charting Method
Jeremy du Plessis, CMT FSTA, has produced the most complete work on Point & Figure available.

Areas such as On Balance Volume, Bollinger Bands, Market Breadth Analysis, Parabolic Stops are covered as well as sections on Optimisation and Scanning.
Box construction, trend lines and Count targets are covered in depth. The 3 and 5 Box reversal methods are explained along with the powerful 1 Box method which has virtually been lost for decades. No element of Point and Figure construction is overlooked. The book also contains some truly groundbreaking work on risk/reward ratios too.
The Definitive Guide to Point & Figure gives you hundreds of practical chart examples and steps you through full analyses of a number of charts of world indices and international stocks with further examples of currency and commodity charts. Quite simply, it is the most complete reference on the subject ever produced and a 'must read' for any serious investor, trader or fund manager.
Reviews for The Definitive Guide to Point and Figure
'If you were allowed to take only one book on your desert island then make it this Definitive Guide by Jeremy du Plessis. The whole subject is covered from its early historical beginnings. It shows how to construct and use the charts and their unequivocally clear buy and sell signals, definition of trend, reversal, support and resistance levels are all revealed and well illustrated. The subject is explained as an evidence gathering procedure, that leads to a successful trading method, with accurate entry, stop loss, and targets. It is also brought right up to date with some new thinking involving indicators such as OBV, Bollinger bands, and parabolic stop and reverse signals. You will have such a great time working through it on you're desert island that you might not want to come home.'
Robin Griffiths, FSTA, Head of Asset Allocation, Rathbone Investment Management
'A superbly comprehensive book on this powerful technique from one of the world's leading experts on the subject. A must read for all serious technicians and investors'.
Adam Sorab, Chairman, UK Society of Technical Analysts
'Having read Jeremy's book from cover to cover I can honestly say it is the most significant Technical Analysis text produced in over a decade. There is no doubt that you will be a complete Point & Figure convert and be in great position to use this powerful technique to your advantage. I just wish I had it when I started trading 20 years ago. Make sure you read it at the earliest opportunity.'
