Mike asks a question on my post on Gold last week about price “targets”. I don’t really do “targets”. Targets imply I know where the top or bottom are and that is not true.

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.

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.

Trading with Gann Fan Techniques – Part II
July 7th, 2008 No Comments
This chart shows the NDX range from the take off in 1995 to the end of the bull market. Note how the correction into 2002 moved all the way down to the 1:16 slope. This is double the move of a normal market move. My assumption is that the move from 1995-2000 was actually twice the slope it should have been.

Trading with Gann Fan Techniques
June 24th, 2008 No Comments
A Gann Fan is nothing more than a slope of a significant range and multiples of that slope. For those of you who have been following my Range Square analysis, you will notice that this is not any different.

How To – Add Time Analysis Angles
June 23rd, 2008 No Comments
This is the second in a series of posts meant to provide a guide to those who have been emailing about my method. Once a range is found that appears to be significant, then vertical lines called time Gann Angles are placed using the starting and ending point as 100% of “time”. Adding time cycles will make it easier to validate (or invalidate) the range you selected.

The chart on the previous post was using trading days (which is all that comes out of Stockcharts.com). I said price moved through the 50/50 point. Using calendar days, Friday is 50% of the time cycle.
