How can it effect a
dynamic market?
Lets look at some
examples.

I am using software (Market Analyst) but these
techniques can be done with a pencil and a
calculator.

Angles that Gann

would look for.
45, 90, 120, 180, 240, 270, 315

We apply a factor of

Time Factor Digression

Critical to all Gann

Gann will never work
if the price units are
wrong.

FaceBook

Rotation

Key is rotation.
Gann often spoke of
the importance of
cycles.

The Circle of 360 is most important for time

cycles and price resistance

Center the Starting Value

So far we have been finding our tops and
bottoms on a large square.
We can also center the top or bottom in the
middle of the Square of 9.

Putting it all together

The Golden Rules!

Putting it all together

The Golden
Rules.

Never adopt a new technique without

testing.
Never neglect what has been working
for you in the past.
These do not work all the time.

Putting it all together

The Golden
Rules.

Build a case.
Start

with major turns.

Add in minors.
Do you see confluence? Watch that price.

Always wait for confirmation of a

change in trend.
