What are the common mistakes traders make when using W.D. Gann angles? Let’s find out. If you have been trading for any length of time, you’ve no doubt been asked by a trader that has started using the W.D. Gann angles “for your first time”. The questions you get asked are usually about the steps to take in the process that I will lay out for you below. Did you get all the angles right? Did you understand all the pitfalls to watch out for? These are the questions you get. At some point you will be told “don’t worry this will take you just a few minutes.

Don’t use $1 intervals. $1 or 100c is an important step. Don’t make the mistake of letting this one get past your notice. 2. Lifting early. Too often this happens, I put this right at the top of the warning list, because it is well known and used by many traders as being the stepping stone to the next pitfall.
