Post From: Questions about P & F

I am trying to understand the whole point and figure setup in SC.
There is the point and figure study which uses the chart settings>> tick size for defining how big each box is-
in the point and figure study. If in forex tick size is .0001 and box size is 5 that means a 5 pip box.
But then there is the point and figure intraday chart period in chart settings.
When you set graph to this without the P&F study it does not create a P & F chart but alters the chart noticably.
In the intraday chart period box it also has a default number 10-1 presumably this is the box and reversal size.
For a forex chart eurusd I have set tick size to .0001. Point and Figure study to 5 tick size by 3 reversal size.
Then I have set my chart settings>> intraday chart period to Point and Figure with 5-3 in the little white bar.
Is this the right way to setup a Point and Figure chart? I wasn't confused until I read there is a intraday chart period to match
to the p&f study.
