arqish, if it were easy it, it wouldn't be worth it.

"We do these things not because they are easy, but because they are hard."~John F. Kennedy.

But once you understand it, it couldn't be easier. Like reading music or learning a new language.

I suggest not learning the stuff in terms of trading. Learn it in terms of nature, music, art, mathematics. And then apply it to trading.

There isn't a single book on trading in Gann's suggested reading list. Why is that?
Okay


thanks for the words

Hey Chad ;-)
Great stuff ;-)
I start to understand your method and I also read Michael Jenkins. I have problem with MT4 platform when I draw Gann Fan or Trend Line with angle.
When MT4 refreshs all the lines are screwed up ;-( . How I can handle this issue ? Any suggestion ?
Thanks
Fabio

My exit. Notice how that no matter where I measured the square from that the 1x1 lines and time division lines played out. price = time always.

Hello JR,
I posted before , no reply .
BTW, I think you are also using Gann Fan and Trend by angle MT4 tools isn't?

As I said before, I have issue when MT4 refresh because all the lines are screwed up.
Any advise on how to solve it?
Thanks

I'm not using the Gann Fan or Trend by Angle tools. Those are prone to scaling issues.

Below is the current trade. The yellow trend line highlights the range measured. The entry is based on basic price structure. Since price didn't break the highest high just left of the arrow, I figured it would move down. Target is the 1x1.

I'm mainly watching for support/resistance. Be it trend lines, square angle lines, previous levels, etc. And 'time' of course.

Will you trail your stop, or do you use limit order once a price/time objective has been reached?

I typically trail unless I start seeing some very obvious end of the run signs. Reversal patterns, osci divergence, etc. Nothing too magical.

1H chart this time. It shows yesterdays entry/exit and the current entries. The yellow box highlights what might be the bottom at the 1x1 line and a time line. I thought that time line was going to be the start of the drop rather than the end. either way... cha ching cha ching.

Check out the entry on the highest sell. Almost to the pip on the retrace. These were all limit/stop orders.

This chart is messy but shows sort of how I placed that perfect limit order. It's all about the 1x1 line where price/time balance. I sound like a broken record but price = time. Once you know that then it's just a matter of measuring both in the same unit of measure.

Current storm trades. Nothing to fancy. Just confluence across time frames.
