Line-break charts originated in Japan during the 19th century and it is said that this technique was used in rice trading. They are in widespread use in the far East but not so much prevalent elsewhere. Line-break chart belongs to the One-dimensional Noiseless charting family such as P&F, Renko and Kagi. These time-independent charts plot only price and new price action gets captured in the chart only when there is price move which meets a certain criterion. This genre of charts eliminate noise to a large extent and plot charts with easily readable patterns.
