There really is only one way to draw a P&F chart and that is w/ tick data.
If you are going to use closing prices or the High/low methed then you might as well use time charts as you are half using them anyway.
For those of us who refuse to plot XO manually from tick data (me) we simply throw Tro's SweetSpotGold on a minute chart w/ sub-levels set to 10p (macro-pips) ond plot an X or an O every time it hits a line.
If you have access to 20 second charts then use 5 pips instead of 10.
From these smaller charts you can make accurate larger charts.

How about using this as an alternative to renko/P&F?
LogTickData.mq4 PostTickData.mq4
Set it to create 1 bar say every 20 ticks (regardless up or down ticks). Then watch how it form S/Rs?

"we can size the squares to ignore smaller levels of congestion to increase the TF. "
"Because price is in congestion 80% of the time, the congestion acts as the time factor in P&F...in theory =) "
MO,
So for me, when I see an area of "congestion" I tend to give that area a little extra weight in terms of S & R. If the P & F is removing that factor, wouldn't that be a disadvantage in determining the best S & R?

This is what I was thinking MO, after we were throwing some ideas around
I felt that the time based charts were/are just as good.
Now the second part of that post grabs my attention, I'll look into it more
after I find sweet spot gold, thought I had it already.

Here is a random 6 days of USD/CHF plotted in macro-pips from a minute chart:

So u have a "x or o" for every 10 pips on the sweet spot?
Did you do a 30 pip reversal?
