Gann Wheel or Emblem from March 6th Low
April 30th, 2009 1 Comment
The circular form of the Gann Emblem or Wheel is nothing more than a calendar for determining the number of days and weeks time has moved from a specific cycle start point. Here I have used the March 6th low as the zero angle.

Market Cycle Investing with Parallel Angles
April 16th, 2009 No Comments
The current market situation is a long drop into a 150ish calendar day base. One method I have found for measuring moves within the base is to compare the current slope against the original range.

Follow Through Watch Starts Friday
March 11th, 2009 1 Comment
Bill O’Neil of Investors Business Daily has a good process for determining a solid market bottom. Wait three days after the reversal day before judging a low. The idea is that short covering or bear market rallies can last three days. But most markets that make a new high after the third day are good candidates to watch for a bottom.

Long Term View of the Transports
December 24th, 2008 No Comments
One of the suggestions from WD Gann was to look at all time frames before making and guesses as to future price movements. The Dow Jones Transportation Average (DJT) shows price following a slope from 1932 to 1982. Price then moved up at 3 times that slope into 2008.

Traditional Gann Fan Observation
November 24th, 2008 2 Comments
Here is a chart for the Gann traditionalist who like to watch for one point per day moves. The March to October 2007 range moved exactly one point per day. When using Gannalyst, this means to scale the price fan to 1.0 (which is the default). Rarely do moves occur at exactly one point per day.

I’ve read the title phase on several forums several times in the past few months and it always make a cringe. Just who is a “serious student of Gann”?

Top 100 Stocks Near 50 Day Moving Average
August 12th, 2008 2 Comments
The Top 100 Growth Stock list is a mechanically generated set of stocks that meet strict fundamental guidelines and have strong relative price strength. I’ve added a sub-list of stocks on the right sidebar which contains stocks from the Top 100 list which are near the 50 day moving average. This filters out those stocks that have already run too far to consider.

Another Low Volume Down Day for SPX
August 4th, 2008 No Comments
The interday charts look bad but the daily chart remains in position to move higher. Price needs to take out the recent highs with another continuation day and then blast higher before we become totally overbought. I don’t usually worry about moving averages but they do serve as resistance to price.
Gann Zero Angles and the Airlines
August 2nd, 2008 No Comments
The post discusses Gann 0 angles and provides and example. Zero angles are created by using points per units of time. The angle originates at a significant high or low on the chart. In this case I used the 1998 high of the airline index.

Recent IPO LL As Range Square Example
July 23rd, 2008 No Comments
I have found that range squares work well with my top 100 growth stocks. It is rare that one of these stocks setups nicely within the square of the range, but Lumber Liquidators (LL) has done so. I will follow this over the next several weeks and provide updates if anything interesting occurs.

Very Long Term Dow Jones Industrials Analysis
July 20th, 2008 No Comments
Using Gannalyst and Yahoo historical data I created a couple charts of the DOW (INDU) going back to 1942. It may be interesting to go back further but Yahoo only provides data to 1928 which misses the low before the 1929 bubble.
