W.D. Gann's Revolutionary Methods

The Square of 9 Explained

W.D. Gann's Square of 9 is a mathematical grid that arranges numbers in a spiral pattern, starting from the center and moving outward. This arrangement reveals natural price and time relationships that have been used by professional traders for over a century.

Cardinal Points (0°, 90°, 180°, 270°):Primary support and resistance levels

Diagonal Points (45°, 135°, 225°, 315°):Secondary support and resistance levels

Perfect Squares:Numbers like 1, 4, 9, 16, 25 hold special significance

Gann Angles in Practice

Gann angles represent the relationship between price and time. The most important angle is the 1x1 line (45 degrees), which represents one unit of price for one unit of time - the perfect balance between bulls and bears.
