Gann Grid


Gann Grid represents trends built at the angle of 45 degrees (Gann Lines). According to Gann’s concepts, a line having a slope of forty-five degrees represents a long-term trendline (ascending or descending). While prices are above the ascending line, the market holds bull direction. If prices hold below descending line, the market is characterized as a bear one. Intersection of the a Gann Line usually signals of breaking the basic trend. When prices go down to this line during an ascending trend, time and price become fully balanced. The further intersection of Gann Lines is an evidence of breaking of this balance and possible change of the trend.

To build a Gann Grid, it is necessary to define two points determining sizes of cells.

Gann Tools


W.D. Gann (1878-1955) developed a number of unique methods of price chart analysis. He paid the most attention to geometrical angles reflecting the interrelation between the time and the price. Gann believed that certain geometrical figures and angles have specific features to be used for forecasting price dynamics.

Gann considered that there was an ideal ratio between time and price if the price grew or fell at an angle of forty-five degrees to the time axis. This angle is designated as "1х1" and corresponds with unit price increase for each unit time interval.
