Hello,

comparing a P&F Chart of the SPX on Stockchart.com with the one in WLD5 shows lots of differences. I charted a box size of 10x3.
For example:
the march 2009 low has lot more of Os and Xs in WLD5 than at Stockcharts.com.
Why is this? Can anyone confirm this difference?

It's almost pointless to compare P&F charts unless you're using the same data. If you can detect a specific problem with the calculation using Y! or Fidelity data, let me know, and I'll take a closer look.

When investigating, it's helpful to use Candlestick charting while running the PnF Basic strategy, which highlights bars that contribute to X's and O's. That way, you can see on a bar-by-bar basis how the method works.
