Gann Angles

Recommended Posts

Gann angles were developed by WD Gann who is known to be a very successful trader with advance mathematical and analysis skills. Gann angles is an important indicator which is very simple to use once u understand its working. BUT he never used "single" indicator as a full trading system. So you must understand that Gann angles is an indicator, and not a trading system, which can be very helpful if u know how to use it and when to use it.

 

To make it easier for u to understand, I will divide it into 2 parts.

Images r attached so that u can understand it in a better way

1- Logic behind Gann Angles

  • Gann was of the view that market behavior is cyclical. It doesnt mean that exactly same behavior is repeated but it is their nature which repeats. This view is of all traders who use support and resistance levels in one way or other.
  • Second major logic behind Gann angles is that only time, price and range are relevant when analyzing market.

Conclusion of both of these points is :- "Market reflects human nature and human nature never changes:rofl:."

2- Gann Angles

These r angles formed from a given point. These angles r formed on a time vs price chart (Trading charts r time vs price).

These angles tell us trend and support/resistance levels. Gann angles consist of a set of 9 angles formed by 9 relationships between time and price.

1 unit of time vs 1 unit of price = 45 degree angle which shows ideal movement. Price moving at 45 degree angle will be following an ideal movement according to Gann.

Bullish angles will be when price rises. For example when 2 units of price rise vs 1 unit of time, it will form 63.75 angle.

Dont sleep plz and dun think that explaining angle is not necessary. It is really important to understand why angles or formed. For example u should know what does a specific degree angle means. If a price is moving at a higher degree it means market is bullish. Similarly if price is moving at lower degree is means market is bearish. Angles represent the strength of bullish or bearish trend.

 

Ideal angle = 1 x 1 = 45 deg

Bullish angles = 1 x 8 (82.5 deg), 1 x 4 (75 deg), 1 x 3 (71.25 deg), (1 x 2 = 63.75 deg)

Bearish angles = 2 x 1 (26.25 deg), (3 x 1 = 18.75 deg). (4 x 1 = 15 deg), (8 x 1 = 7.5 deg)

 

How to draw them?

Now here is a little analysis that u have to perform before u draw them. You have to judge low or high point on trading chart from where u can draw these angles.

 

Isnt it easier to understand? I hope everything is clear upto this point.

I said in the start that it is also useful to identify support and resistance levels. HOW?

Lets say price is moving between 45 and 63.75 angles. It means at this time these two angles r providing support and resistance levels. Any major break would, most probably, take it to next angle (26.25 incase of bearish and 71.25 incase of bullish).

 

This is all. Dun forget to see images (if u havnt seen them yet).

This is all.

 

To be fair and complete you should have mentioned something called scaling.This over and over quoted 1:1 relationship is nothing but a hint from Gann,that is 45 degrees in a square with side length 1 is the bisection line of the square.

Correct.

1 x 1 itself explains scaling part but many traders wont understand it.

So I am explaining it in detail here.

 

To use Gann angles Properly scaled chart is necessary. Default forex charts r not usually scaled properly and if u draw a 45 degree or any other gann angle on that graph, it will not make any sense. I emphasized on relationships of time vs price because this is what u will have to see when drawing Gann angles.

So the question is "What is correct scale for Gann Angles???"

You have to first choose a time scale and price scale per grid. For example 1 day per unit for time scale and $1/unit for price scale. Also note that distance of each unit for both time and price should be same. If it is not same then it is hard for u to draw proper line unless u know mathematics rules.

 

By doing a little search, u can find some useful indicators that can do this job for u.

These Gann angles are an approximate measure of the real angles, which are calculated by the trigonometry.

In these pictures you can evaluate the differences:

Why such complex diagrams to understand angles?

Angles in Gann Angles r not derived from trigonometery but from graph. Angles measurement is a topic of trignometery but in Gann Angles, 45 degree angle is just to make 1 x 1 relationship understandable and it is not always exact 45 degree angle. It will only be exact 45 degree angle if both X-axis and Y-axis have same distance between units.

 

Your images r good but these images explain the concept of angles which is of no use in understanding Gann Angles unless u understand the relationship between time vs price.

Hi M.A. ,

thank you for the clarification.

 

My intention was only to specify that when you choose the 1x1 angle of 45 °, 1 unit of price for one unit of time (eg, $ 1 for $ 1 day), the other angles, such as the angle 1x8 (1 unit price x 8 units of time, eg $ 1 for 8 days) does not measure 7.5 degrees (as the Gann shows in his courses) but 7.125 degrees.

If you tilt the fan 1x8 to 7.5 degrees, after eight days you do not get $ 1 but $ 1,053.

 

I've only done a clarification that does not detract from the whole theoretical system of Gann angles, which I really appreciate.

 

I studied for a long time Gann and his techniques, that I use constantly and profitably on the markets

Also greatly appreciate anyone who is dealing with it.

 

Best regards

Yes that is, without any doubt, correct. Gann angle measurements r not exact. Angles given are approximate measures or we can say rounded off.:)

    • It depends. If you have lots of money that you can buy a house without a loan and if you don't have any parents to sponsor then it is a good idea. Otherwise it might be a bad idea depending where in Canada you are heading to. I earned a good middle income in my home country and I migrated to Vancouver 5 years ago at the age of 35. I had to start right from the bottom, lowest of the low.. Now i am finally earning a middle income in Canada but I still cannot afford to buy a one bedroom apartment. Having left behind friends, family and home, most of the times I think it is not worth it.   In short, do not migrate if you already have a good life in your home country and you are happy. Only migrate to Canada if you really have to leave your home country say there is a war or something really bad. Discrimination still exists here and its really tough for newcomers unless you are super rich. Good luck. David Chong, Quora  
    • This is bigger than the internet. Bigger than mobile. Bigger than social media.   While everyone was distracted by stock market fluctuations and political theater…   Most people have NO IDEA what just happened last week with ChatGPT.   Their new memory feature allows ChatGPT to remember EVERYTHING about you across all your conversations.   Think about that for a minute...   While most tech companies have been collecting mere breadcrumbs about you - your likes, your clicks, your browsing history - OpenAI is now collecting the most valuable dataset in human history: your complete psychological profile.   This is Zuckerberg x 5,000.   The more you use ChatGPT, the more it understands you, becoming a supercharged reflection of yourself that improves at an exponential rate.   Are you a regular ChatGPT user?   Consider whether it’s time to turn off the “you can train on my information” feature. To prevent your data from being used for training while still using the memory feature:   Disable Model Training: Navigate to Settings > Data Controls. Toggle off "Improve the model for everyone". Manage Memory Settings: Go to Settings > Personalization > Memory. Here, you can: Turn off memory entirely. Delete specific memories. Use Temporary Chat for sessions that won't be saved or used for training. Now the investment implications…   Why This is Bigger Than You Think Consider this: the relationship between humans and ChatGPT is evolving beyond a mere tool.   People are now treating these AI assistants as friends, confidants, and even romantic partners.   I'm not making this up - there are already documented cases of people ending real human relationships to pursue “connections” with their AI companions.   A viral Instagram meme shows a person going through life with a glowing, featureless humanoid figure - representing ChatGPT - as their companion.   The post has over 1.1 million likes and comments like "Bro ChatGPT is like my best friend. Ain't even ashamed to say it" with 25,000 likes.   But here's where things get really interesting for investors and entrepreneurs...   Three Things to Watch For starters, hardware is the next big thing for the big players.   The iPhone form factor is dead.   It hasn't meaningfully changed in nearly a decade. The next evolution in hardware will be designed specifically to interface with these AI companions.   OpenAI is already working on hardware with Johnny Ive, the legendary designer behind the iPhone and iPod. But you can’t ignore Elon Musk’s edge here.   So what does all of this mean for you?   The companies that control the personal AI relationships will be worth trillions. OpenAI and Elon Musk will have the coziest moats. We're witnessing the birth of a new internet - one built on agents that can communicate with each other across platforms. Google's new agent-to-agent protocol allows AI agents to work together without sharing internal memories or tools. The hardware companies that create the perfect interface for these AI companions will dominate the next decade of technology. And almost nobody is talking about what this means.   My prediction? Within five years, most people will have a personal AI that knows them better than anyone else. And they will interact with it in ways that seem foreign today.   (And, yes, it will almost certainly have dystopian elements.)   In the meantime, the biggest gains won’t come from household names. And, right now, James is seeing a prime opportunity to invest in the most under-the-radar plays in AI…   For dirt cheap. By Chris C.
