  • How do Fibonacci ratios relate to W.D. Gann angles?

    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 Fibonacci spirals of life.” – Dr. A. Frank For over…

  • What are the primary angles used in W.D. Gann analysis?

    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 Gann. For me the main attraction is that Gann identifies…

  • How do W.D. Gann angles incorporate time and price factors?

    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). I recently discovered a certain company were advertising on Google…

  • What historical background influenced W.D. Gann’s angle measurement techniques?

    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 sources: For William David Gann : The first published work…

  • How do W.D. Gann angles differ from traditional trendlines?

    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 using different assumptions, (and often the same numbers), turn up…

  • What is the significance of the 45-degree angle in W.D. Gann analysis?

    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. 2. What is ‘V’ in ‘V(,)’ and ‘V(-,-)’ in W.D.…
