Good evening to you SRB, I will try to add to the comments already posted.
P&F is quite theoretically straight forward. Each column is created by the close of the time frame, not the full movement like candlesticks.
On the daily chart you can see the target of 128. This is not active as yet, it requires a daily close above 55.7 without closing below 35.59. If that does occur the target is removed.
On the chart there are two further bearish targets in play, 26 and 11. The significant numbers to nullify these targets are 84.59 and 109.57. From a P&F perspective, a daily close above those figures are essential for changing the tune of this share.
The 1 min P&F charts work on a one minute basis.
The strong rise has created two bullish targets of 82 and 98, as it stands both are active. 98 will stay active as long as the share does not drop below 42.58 for more than a minute and 34.89 for 82 (not showing on this picture).
A bullish target of 73.59 is also given but is NOT active yet as the price has not passed back above 54.06. This target will be taken off if the price goes below 46.1.
Interestingly there is a little cluster of targets at 44.3. The fib retracement of 61.8% from the high of 61.12 to the low of 34.5 is in the region of 44.6
The more targets to a particular region give it greater importance. Those targets will be taken off if the price rises above the column of 0 that created them. It is important to see the targets for what they are- theoretical targets. I have overly enthusiastically been too confident of trading in the direction of the targets from time to time. It is imperative if you are going to trade on the basis of the targets you recognise when the picture has changed. If the targets are invalidated your trade should end. The beauty of them is the clear defined buy and sell signals as well as helping to define your risk reward (a lecture for another day!)
I hope this gives a little insight to the very very basic functioning, I will endeavour to continue to explain further as the chart presents an opportunity. If anyone is serious about P&F I recommend the Definitive Guide to Point and Figure by Jeremy DuPlesis. Its a good book for putting you to sleep but you will probably never need another!
I hope this short explanation has not confused things further for all. I will try to answer any specific questions as they arise for folk.
Best wishes all
