Gann Box

GANN TRADING LESSON - GANN BOX & TIME CYCLE 144GANN BOX & TIME CYCLE 144 are two pivotal tools introduced by W.D. Gann , a legendary figure in financial markets. These tools integrate time and price dynamics seamlessly, providing traders with revolutionary methods to analyze market movements. Here, we’ll explore these tools and how traders can apply them to achieve greater precision and insight in their trading. Understanding the interplay between time and price is a cornerstone of effective trading. What is Gann’s Box? Gann’s Box is a synthetic coordinate system that enables traders to analyze price dynamics within structured time and price parameters. The box helps visualize patterns and understand the relationship between upward and downward movements over specific periods. By using this tool, traders can: Identify directional trends. Recognize structural alternations of price movement. Pinpoint significant turning points in the market. Principles of the Gann Box First Principle: Directional Price Movements The Gann Box segments price movements into discrete directional sections. These sections reveal periods of trend continuation or reversal. By overlaying a box on the chart from a significant extremum, traders can observe how price respects its boundaries over time. Second Principle: Structure of Movement Markets alternate between upward and downward movements in a structured and often periodic manner. Gann’s Box allows traders to: Detect these alternations. Visualize corrections versus trend-directed movements. Forecast future structural changes based on historical patterns. Cycle 144: A Unique Trading Model Gann’s Cycle 144 is an advanced application of the Gann Box. It involves a fixed time cycle of 144 units (e.g., hours, days, or any chosen timeframe) and is based on the following principles: Begin at the Extremum: The cycle always starts at a key high or low. End After 144 Units: The cycle concludes after 144 time units. No Gaps Between Cycles: Models should seamlessly connect without gaps. Overlapping Models: Multiple cycles can operate simultaneously, enhancing prediction accuracy within the same timeframe. This model offers a comprehensive framework to predict market movements within defined intervals. Practical Steps to Apply Gann’s Box Identify Key Extremums Locate significant highs or lows on your chart to serve as the starting points. Construct the Gann Box Use the chosen extremum to calculate the parameters of the box. Ensure alignment between price and time scales. Analyze Trends and Corrections Observe how price behaves within the box, identifying trend continuations, corrections, and potential reversals. Incorporate Cycle 144 Overlay the Cycle 144 model to refine predictions, ensuring to account for overlapping cycles for greater precision. Why Gann’s Box Matters for Traders Gann’s Box is not just a tool but a framework for disciplined and informed trading. Here are its key benefits: Accurate Forecasting: Pinpoint turning points with precision. Structured Analysis: Analyze price action within a logical, visual framework. Improved Decision-Making: Reduce emotional bias by relying on objective patterns. Conclusion Gann’s Box and Cycle 144 offer traders a methodical approach to deciphering market movements. By integrating TIME & PRICE , these tools simplify the complexities of trading while providing actionable insights. As with any trading method, success lies in practice and observation. Study past market movements, experiment with Gann’s concepts, and refine your understanding. With dedication, these tools can transform your approach to trading and unlock new levels of mastery.

How I Execute Trades Using Gann’s Square of 9Here in this example, I have used the Square of 9 method to predict a potential market reversal and executions. W.D. Gann, a legendary trader and analyst, is renowned for his pioneering techniques in financial markets. Among his tools, the Square of 9 stands out as a remarkable system to predict market turning points with precision. In this blog, we’ll explore the fundamentals of the Square of 9, how it works, and how we can use it to improve timing and decision-making in the markets. What is the Square of 9? The Square of 9 is a spiral-based numerical grid where numbers are arranged in a square, starting from 1 at the center and spiraling outward. Each number on the grid has angular relationships with other numbers, which Gann believed could forecast significant market movements. For instance: Numbers at the same angles (e.g., 39, 67, 105, 150) share a relationship that can signify potential turning points in the market. By marking these numbers and aligning them with trading days, we can identify key dates for potential price reversals. Core Assumptions in Price Dynamics Gann’s methods rely on two key assumptions: Repetition in Price and Time: Price tends to follow specific patterns or laws over defined intervals of time. Structured Alternation: The up-and-down movements of price are not random; they alternate in a structured, periodic manner. These assumptions form the foundation for analyzing price action through tools like the Square of 9. How to Use the Square of 9 Step 1: Identify Key Market Extremes Begin by locating significant highs or lows on a price chart. These extremums act as the starting point for your calculations. Step 2: Calculate Calendar Days Count the number of calendar days between: Two highs, Two lows, or A high and a low. Step 3: Locate the Number on the Square of 9 Find the calculated number (e.g., 39) on the Square of 9. Then, mark other numbers that lie on the same angle or corner, such as 67, 105, or 150. Step 4: Predict Turning Points Mark these numbers as potential future dates. On these dates, observe the market closely for signs of reversals or continuations. Practical Example Now let's Analyse GOLD. In this example we will take a daily candle that is making an all time high. From that high we will count the very next extreme high or low. How many trading days it takes to reach that price point and make a reversal? - 40 Trading days. Now we will look for the number 40 in Gann square of 9 table. and the very next probable execution or reversal we will get after 70 days according to the table. We see sharp price movement after 70th day and then at 180th day where we can place our order and execute with other confirmations. Benefits of Using the Square of 9 Enhanced Timing: Pinpoint potential reversal dates, helping traders refine entry and exit strategies. Objective Forecasting: Use a structured approach to reduce emotional decision-making. Improved Accuracy: Combine the Square of 9 with other technical tools for more reliable predictions. Conclusion The Square of 9 is a powerful tool for traders who seek to integrate time and price analysis into their strategies. By understanding its mechanics and applying its principles, you can anticipate market turns with greater confidence. As with any trading tool, practice and observation are essential. Study past market movements using the Square of 9 to develop your intuition and skill. With dedication, you’ll unlock the potential of this fascinating method and take your trading to the next level.

GER40 - Our View for the Next 5 Years ( Weekly) Hello Folks This is my personal roadmap for tracking GER40 over the next five years, revisiting it month by month to see how things evolve. Right now, I’m expecting a short-term pullback, but only for a brief period. If the market hits 20K early, it might need to take a breather before aligning with the right cycle timing. However, my focus remains clear: I’m only looking for long opportunities in the bigger picture. The larger structure is bullish, and any short-term corrections are just part of the process before the next major move upward. It’s all about timing and staying patient as the market reveals its hand. Let’s see how this plays out in the months ahead

Monthly 10K blocksTop-down ICT analysis - Obvious targets if we move lower are the Yearly FVG to come back into play and eventually held as an iFVG driving us lower. Monthly $10,000 Gann Box's - As always with the Gann box and its angles you want to find the best X and Y points, with the right ratios and you anticipate price to be within "equilibrium" as it follows the major angles in the geometry of the Gann box. For this idea I'm using halves (0, 0.5 and 1) with a $10,000 price axis and 1 calendar month for the time axis.
