Jeremy du Plessis - 21st Century Point and Figure

Praise for 21st Century Point and Figure

Mr du Plessis has taken traditional Point and Figure charts and successfully integrated key momentum indicators, volume and other commonly used tools, bringing Point and Figure analysis into the 21st century. As a market technician who has used Point and Figure for 20 years, I strongly believe that there is no better time to educate yourself on these updated approaches, first to better navigate the noise that is bound to persist in all types of markets, and second to be able to effectively expand your horizons of market observation across the globe. With such high reliability, and a uniquely objective and quantifiable nature, there is no charting technique like Point and Figure, and this book can guide you to mastery of it.

Du Plessis brings Point and Figure into the modern era with new insights and innovation to enhance this time-proven technique. This work is invaluable to the serious chartist and highly recommended for the professional tasked with forecasting price targets or establishing risk management strategy. It pushes the envelope for Point and Figure enthusiasts to help them use their skill in new ways.

Gordon Scott, Managing Director, CMT Program, Market Technicians Association

Jeremy du Plessis has been teaching Point and Figure charting on the Society of Technical Analysts (STA) Diploma Courses for nearly a quarter of a century. In 2005 he decided to write The Definitive Guide to Point and Figure: A Comprehensive Guide to the Theory and Practical Use of the Point and Figure Charting Method , which has been on the STAs reading list ever since. His new book, 21st Century Point and Figure , takes Point and Figure charting to a whole new level. It expands on his first book and includes invaluable new techniques, such as advanced analysis of relative strength and spreads, market breadth and indicators on Point and Figure charts, to name but a few. The STA is pleased to add 21st Century Point and Figure to its Diploma Course reading list.

Axel Rudolph, Chairman of the Society of Technical Analysts

Once again Jeremy du Plessis has pushed the boundaries of Point and Figure charting by applying moving averages and Bollinger Bands in unique ways to the chart. His application of time based indicators makes the Point and Figure chart even more relevant to todays traders and investors.

An expert in Point and Figure technique, Mr du Plessis is well qualified to take Point and Figure into the 21st century. Although it touches on the background of Point and Figure, this is a more advanced book, full of practical information. Picking up where The Definitive Guide to Point and Figure left off, Mr du Plessis explains a variety of innovative techniques that truly do bring Point and Figure into the modern age.
