No need to apologize for reviving an old topic -- it's still a valid question.
Short answer: ThinkorSwim still doesn't have native Point and Figure chart support. It's been a feature request for over a decade, and TD Ameritrade never added it.
That said, you've got options:
Fun with ThinkScript sells a P&F indicator for $199. It's configurable and reportedly accurate.
useThinkScript community has free scripts that traders have built. Less polished, but functional if you're willing to tinker.
Three Line Break charts are available natively in ToS -- not the same thing, but some traders use them as a similar noise-filtering alternative.
One limitation worth knowing: ThinkScript-based P&F indicators won't work with tick charts. Only time-based charts.
If Point and Figure is central to your trading, TradingView has native P&F support out of the box -- along with Renko, Kagi, and Heikin-Ashi. Might be worth running it alongside ToS if you need clean P&F charts without the workarounds.
Hope that helps narrow down your options.
