Tutorial: Converting SharpCharts in a CharList to P&F Charts

In this step-by-step tutorial, we'll create a new P&F chart in the style we want, save it to the ChartList of SharpCharts, and then apply the style of the P&F chart to all the other charts in that list.

Step 1: Create a Point & Figure Chart

Start by creating a Point & Figure chart for any symbol. There are several ways to do this:

• From the “Create a Chart” search bar at the top of any page:

  Change the chart type dropdown from SharpChart to P&F Chart, enter the ticker symbol, and click Go.

• From the Charts & Tools Menu: Expand the Charts & Tools menu at the top of any page, and select Point & Figure.

• From Your Dashboard:

  Click the Point & Figure link in the Member Tools section.

• From the SharpCharts Workbench:

  Scroll to the bottom of the chart, click More, and select Point & Figure.

If desired, adjust the chart settings below the P&F chart so that they match the settings you want for the rest of the charts in the ChartList you are converting.

Step 2: Save the P&F Chart to Your ChartList

Once the P&F chart has been created and the settings are what you want for the other charts in the list, click the Save As link at the top of the chart.

A pop-up window will appear allowing you to name the chart and choose which ChartList to save it to. From the ChartList dropdown menu, select the list that contains the SharpCharts you want to convert, and save the new P&F chart to that list.

Step 3: Apply the P&F Style to the Entire List

After saving the new P&F chart to the ChartList you want to convert, scroll to the bottom of the Chart Settings panel and click the Apply Style to All button.

This will apply the P&F chart's style to every chart in the ChartList. All charts in the selected list should now be saved as Point & Figure charts.

Note: If you do not need the saved P&F chart that you created in Step 1 and saved in Step 2, it can be deleted from the ChartList once this process is complete.
