In Use For Centuries, And Still So Powerful
Point & Figure charts do not need introduction, they have been one of the leading chart techniques for over than a hundred years.
Now the Point & Figure comes as offline chart to MT4. You may apply any standard MT4 indicator to such chart.
With use of OmniaRemote placed on the chart you simply apply graphics overlay over the offline candle chart and get the traditional chart look.
The offline Point & Figure chart supports the traditional view as an overlay above the identical OHLC candles chart
The next video shows the effect of wicks on the PnF chart. While it has no effect on the X/O canvas, the candles have same bodies but different H/L. The current candle displays wick only to a point where the current price crossed the X/O level, the rest of the wick gets wiped.
The Advantage
This P&F chart is build as an offline chart, using the standard Omnia Charts engine.
This brings you following advantages:
- You may run an EA on P&FÂ chart.
- You may attach any standard or custom indicators to a P&F chart.
- Correct tick volume in each P&F candle
- Correct starting candle time
- Your chart won’t repaint when relaunched
- Your chart can be easily re-adjusted
… and many more, following a list of features of Omnia Charts offline engine, like session detection, tick reuse ability, disconnection, account change detector or the Strategy tester compatibility.
Omnia Remote Is Recommended
Do not miss to place Omnia Remote on the offline chart.
Only with the indicator you can switch on/off the display of the traditional X/O layer on the top of the offline candles background.
Unique Features
What are additional features of Ovo offline generators?
- the generator is an indicator rather than a script or EA, which makes it more comfortable for deployment
- input setting is adjustable from multiple places: from the input dialogue, or from the entry box of an indicator sub-window, or from the offline chart using additional indicators (Omnia Remote, Omnia Auto Range). Settings on the offline chart makes the range switching as flexible as switching between timeframes.
- safe timeframe switching of the feed chart  (no need for sacrificing the feed chart for a single timeframe)
- generator can detect and optionally break chart into trading sessions
- generator uses all available timeframes for the initial model, and it is not bound to a single selected timeframe
- when starting up, the indicator selects the chart starting anchor from the user-defined chart candles count
- a single indicator can serve multiple identical offline charts (a single chart ID in multiple windows)
- detects significant drop-outs in feed and rebuilds the offline chart after the feed updates
- displays consistent candle tick volume calibrated to regular timeframes, so you may rely on the tick volume in your analysis and EAs
- guards for a change of the feed server, so it updates the chart if you switch between accounts
- works properly with symbols having MQL unfriendly names (like “EURUSD..”, i.e. trailing double dot in the name)
- reports unexpected time gaps in the MT4 history, reports inconsistencies between symbol timeframes
- excludes phantom (no volume) ticks
- fixes incorrect input for a non-trivial instrument tick size
- can decrease chart refresh rate on demand
- indicator development is still open, you may expect fast fixes for new Metatrader builds
Hello,
one more question please: “x” and “o” are essentially partial bars, or bricks, and thus EAs or typical indicators can process these?
Thanks.
Hello Martin, the X/Os are rather price marks than bricks. The X/O look is just an overlay, the EA must watch the price levels itself.
Hey there, been sending some messages with no replies
Where I can connect with you ?
I register 2 queries from this email address on Nov 18, both replied. If they did not arrive, place your query here, I would answer it.
Hi
how can you place correct volume bars under each column? Also is each volume bar coloured the same as the column? I.e under an X column the volume bar is red etc?
Hello Clepal, the volume in columns reflects the tick volume read from the timeframe charts, so volume showed by the system display is correct. However the specific colour pattern would require a custom indicator.
Hi Milan,
Thank you for getting back to me so quickly. Where in the indicator can i add the volume to the chart?
Can I use it on multiple computers after purchase?
Hello LI LI, the standard license is for three computers. You may swap it to other three computers using a form.
At present in the use of normal point can not be normal, after adjustment can be normal display?
would u plz add one parameter to compress one point figure, so that there is at least two points in a column.there are
Hi Milan
When i use X/O, upward movement is shown by red and downward by green color. Is it possible to change? IF background of chart is changed to black, X/O are shown in white box. What is to be done to remove white box.
Thanks
Good morning,
I am thinking of getting your PnF indicator and wished to loo at the video. However, I am getting no sound. Can this be resolved?
Thanks.
Hello Gram, the video has no sound track actually.
A. OK. That explains it. I thought it might have as I had watched the Range bars video.
In any event, I am interested in it as I am purchasing a Windows machine on purpose to run it (I usually work on a MAC). I presume it should be sufficient something like an Intel I5 with about 4 mb ram and HD. I did think of an Atom processor, but I fear it will run slowly.
Can you confirm that the PnF add on runs in RT in MT4?
Thaks,
gram.
HI Milan,
Haven’t heard back from you re. my post above. Wonder if you have had a chance to consider it and if you could let me have a response?
Thanks,
gram.
Hello gram, apologies for letting you wait, I returned to the office first yesterday after holiday. I assume there is no need for a Windows computer if your Mac is already running MT4. There are many Mac customers running those indicators (mostly in Wine environment), and despite there are some problems with MT4 updates in general, there is no special requirement for the stuff I am offering.
Thanks Milan,
No, I explained badly. I am not currently running it on my MAC (I had problems getting Wine functioning), so am thinking of buying a PC. The question was abut he required configuration for that.
Tx.
gram.
ps. Hope you enjoyed your holidays.
Oh, i see. in such case i cannot help you much, as the offline generators alone do not add much to the power drain. The most expensive are indicators deployed on the offline charts, and the MT4 chart refresh mechanism of the offline charts. I am usually testing the load with 60 naked offline charts on a cheap laptop computer, and the computer core never goes to saturation.
You are helping. By cheap laptop do you mean something that has something like an Atom or Celeron os rather than and Intel I3 or I5 or I7?
I never had the Atom in my hands, no idea how powerful it is. By the cheap one I mean a basic laptop (worth $400 new), in my case 3-y old Pentium 2020M processor.
Ok. Milan,
Thanks
gram.

Hi Milan
When i use X/O, upward movement is shown by red and downward by green color. Is it possible to change?
Thanks .
Now your trade is in trouble. The price is down, but it is x, o
I use your point & figure, it’s very good.
Hi there,
I’m confused about offline charts. I like the Renko charts & Point & Figure charts. Does the offline chart update itself with live data? Should the parent chart (Original candle chart) be open in the background once the renko/P&F chart is opened for the chart to be updated with live data?
Hello RKS, the offline chart behave the same way as usual chart, but they are completely driven by the indicator placed in the live chart. If you stop the indicator by any means, the offline chart stops to evolve.
Hi,
I bought the Point and Figure Indicator and it work’s very well. But could you please change the colours of the x and o. It’s a litlte bit confusion that the the x are red, which represent rising prices and the o’s are green which represent falling prices. Normalwise e.g. in candlesticks green represent rising prices and red falling price. Or could you implement a function which allows the user to choose the colours in it’s own favour.
Thank you in advance
Joachim
Hi,
I am ready to buy the Point and Figure bars plug in, but I am unable to understand from the video how to install it into MT4. The reason is because there is no sound on thne video. Have you a transcript or a simple desrcription of the process?
Thanks,
gram.
hello Milan
colors are inverted and it is important, can you fix it?
thanks
It requires some redesign anyway, I will implement it later.
HI,
Was just wondering why no one is answering these questions. Has the support stopped for these products? I ask because I am interested in using them.
Thanks,
gram.
Hello gram, the support still goes on, however there are no serious updates expected, as Metatrader 4 evolution stopped at build 1090, a long time ago. There is a pending task for redesigning the PnF chart overlay, and I will implement after its turn comes, according to priorities.
OK. Thanks. I am not worried about updates at the moment, but about getting the existing one to work. Did you see my letter sent to support stating that the chart overlays but shows the bar chart, not the Pnf. Any idea what the problem is?
Thanks,
Gram.
Hello gram, the OmniaRemote must be attached to the offline chart.
Many thanks, MIlan,
However, I have just tried to do as you suggested in your email Unfortunately, while I was waiting for for you to answer my query, the trial expiredIt now tells me that I now have to wait 84 days to test out your suggestions.
Thanks,
Regards,
gram.
HI,
I am asking out of desperation. I have been trying for weeks (with time off for the days to download a new trial) to use a Point and Figure chart on MT4. I cannot for the life of me get it to show Xs and Os. All I get are bars. If someone uses PNF, can they help?
Thanks,
gtam.
how I can chang color
such as down trend red and up trend green
Please i need a guide to use the P and F chart in my MT4
i have a question regarding Point and Figure chart
i really want to buy it but i have 1 question only
what happens if the current candle moved up (the previous candle was up candle)
https://i.vgy.me/Zo5LwT.png
see the picture, i really can’t understand what will happen
1- will the current candle disappear and the previous candle gets continued ?
2- or the wick below the current candle will turn into a red candle and a new green candle will be formed ?
3- something else (please explain it to me if i’m wrong)
thanks and good luck with sales <3
hello,
is there a possibility to change the colours of the X/O Chart???
http://www.guppytraders.com/gup140.shtml
De Veiller is the father of point and figure and when he has used 1 box reversal PnF he has mixed X and O together in one vertical line together. When X and O by 1 BoxReversal get mixed together , you can see the trading range much more clearly.
i wanted to ask is it possible to implement an option in your pnf indicator to switch to De Veiller Pnf , when the BoxReversal is 1 Box. I think to program this will not take much time , i would be very appreciate when u could do it .
On the above link and the last image of the webpage you can see a example what i mean
Hi ,
I am having trouble opening the pff document on mt4 . It won’t let me open the offline pff chart. I am on using macbook pro.

hello i have and account in a server but when i use offline charts for that server symbols metatrader shows me wating for updates and remains in that state
how can i solve this problem?
Hi, is there an alternative to PayPal payment. I want the pnf chart.
Will I have the rights to the MT5 versions when they are release, or I will have to buy the indicators again? Otherwise I am gonna wait.
Hello Alberto, Mt5 would not be just a ported version of MT4, due to a completely different chart design in MT5. I do not have MT5 versions, so the question is hypothetical.
Hi Milan, can you please answer the question above?
I have just found a problem with your point and figure indicator. It does not allow use to configure the color of the columns (neither on the indicator itself or the omnia remote), not only that but the X column is hard coded red (the one that goes up) and the O column is hard coded green (the ones goes down), so it makes it really confusing. Also, the way it plots the 1 box reversal chart is wrong, this is the correct way it should look, according to DuPlessis: https://ibb.co/Y0MZtX1
Hello Alberto, well, the PnF chart is not perfect. The colours are hardcoded, so they are as they are. And you are right, the chart with 1-box reversal is not condensed, despite many prefer it that way. Also figures are missing.
I’m using the PnF charts, when will the colours be changed? Thank you
i’ve download the pnf and the omniaremote. However, I not able to toggle the x/o button to show the point and figure. Can you help here ?
Try to re-attach the Remote, I have no such experience myself, so hard to guess how to help.
Hi Milan,
Wondering If I’m able to use the Omnia AutoRange tool to size the PnF chart?
You may, in this case you control the distance between marks (the main parameter).
