How do Fibonacci ratios relate to W.D. Gann angles? By Rick Santellan & Steve Rotherham “The Golden ratio is the great mathematical paradox. It is very relevant to the W.D. Gann circles of life, in the same way other the Fibonacci ratios are to the […]
What are the primary angles used in W.D. Gann analysis? A: First the simple thing to get you started: I can’t imagine how anyone with any kind of mathematical background would want to use W.D. Gann. Reread the literature: try the Mathematical Recreations article on […]
How do W.D. Gann angles incorporate time and price factors? Is there any way to see the impact of the’reversion factor’ on the angles? It looks like an exercise for us to work out the exact mechanics of what is happening (without delving into derivatives). […]
What historical background influenced W.D. Gann’s angle measurement techniques? William Donald Gilliard and W.D. Gann are very complicated individuals for whom I don’t have a clear idea of what influences they may have had in their historical eras. However, I have some ideas from other […]
How do W.D. Gann angles differ from traditional trendlines? Where, precisely, do they start? With the understanding that all financial models are based upon assumptions, and that there is no model perfect, it should come as no surprise to see models in different contexts and […]
What is the significance of the 45-degree angle in W.D. Gann analysis? Ans. A ‘V’ formed by two intersecting straight lines at a slant of 45 degrees is an important result in W.D. Gann’s analysis of differential equations and is known as the Gantmacher-Yakubowski Theorem. […]
How can one interpret W.D. Gann angles on a price chart? How is W.D. Gann better than a Moving Average? Will the market be in an uptrend when the volume rate is increased? What causes the back-test results to change? These are all questions that […]
What role do W.D. Gann angles play in technical analysis? Posted on September 6, 2013 Author’s Note: In an attempt to explore some of the questions which have sparked this post, one reader asked for some more basic and formal content on this discussion. Therefore, […]
What are the limitations of W.D. Gann angle measurement? There are a number of “hand-wave” corrections that we cannot really quantify, given the small quantities involved in the theory. For example, a good measurement of the Gann angle usually starts around the 60% of the […]
How reliable are W.D. Gann angles in forecasting market trends? 1. Introduction One of the biggest obstacles to getting anything complex into a simple interface is getting the viewer to accept that there is a big relationship between the components. If you don’t understand that […]
