Gann Fan Strategy [KedarArc Quant]Description
A single-concept, rule-based strategy that trades around a programmatic Gann Fan.
It anchors to a swing (or a manual point), builds 1×1 and related fan lines numerically, and triggers entries when price interacts with the 1×1 (breakout or bounce). Management is done entirely with the fan structure (next/previous line) plus optional ATR trailing.
What TV indicators are used
* Pivots: `ta.pivothigh/ta.pivotlow` to confirm swing highs/lows for anchor selection.
* ATR: `ta.atr` only to scale the 1×1 slope (optional) and for an optional trailing stop.
* EMA: `ta.ema` as a trend filter (e.g., only long above the EMA, short below).
No RSI/MACD/Stoch/Heikin/etc. The logic is one coherent framework: Gann price–time geometry, with ATR as a scale and EMA as a risk filter.
How it works
1. Anchor
* Auto: chooses the most recent *confirmed* pivot (you control Left/Right).
* Manual: set a price and bar index and the fan will hold that point (no re-anchoring).
* Optional Re-anchor when a newer pivot confirms.
2. 1×1 Slope (numeric, not cosmetic)
* ATR mode: `1×1 = ATR(Length) × Multiplier` (adapts to volatility).
* Fixed mode: `ticks per bar` (constant slope).
Because slope is numeric, it doesn’t change with chart zoom, unlike the drawing tool.
3. Fan Lines
Builds classic ratios around the 1×1: 1/8, 1/4, 1/3, 1/2, 1/1, 2/1, 3/1, 4/1, 8/1.
4. Signals
* Breakout: cross of price over/under the 1×1 in the EMA-aligned direction.
* Bounce (optional): touch + reversal across the 1×1 to reduce whipsaw.
5. Exits & Risk
* Take-profit at the next fan line; Stop at the previous fan line.
* If a level is missing (right after re-anchor), a fallback Risk-Reward (RR) is used.
* Optional ATR trailing stop.
Why this is unique
* True numeric fan: The 1×1 slope is calculated from ATR or fixed ticks—not from screen geometry—so it is scale-invariant and reproducible across users/timeframes.
* Deterministic anchor logic: Uses confirmed pivots (with your L/R settings). No look-ahead; anchors update only when the right bars complete.
* Fan-native trade management: Both entries and exits come from the fan structure itself (with a minimal ATR/EMA assist), keeping the method pure.
* Two entry archetypes: Breakout for momentum days; Bounce for range days—switchable without changing the core model.
* Manual mode: Lock a session’s bias by anchoring to a chosen swing (e.g., day’s first major low/high) and keep the fan constant all day.
Inputs (quick guide)
* Auto Anchor (Left/Right): pivot sensitivity. Higher values = fewer, stronger anchors.
* Re-anchor: refresh to newer pivots as they confirm.
* Manual Anchor Price / Bar Index: fixes the fan (turn Auto off).
* Scale 1×1 by ATR: on = adaptive; off = use ticks per bar.
* ATR Length / ATR Multiplier: controls adaptive slope; start around 14 / 0.25–0.35.
* Ticks per bar: exact fixed slope (match a hand-drawn fan by computing slope ÷ mintick).
* EMA Trend Filter: e.g., 50–100; trades only in EMA direction.
* Use Bounce: require touch + reverse across 1×1 (helps in chop).
* TP/SL at fan lines; Fallback RR for missing levels; ATR Trailing Stop optional.
* Transparency/Plot EMA: visual preferences.
Tips
* Range days: larger pivots (L/R 8–12), Bounce ON, ATR Multiplier \~0.30–0.40, EMA 100.
* Trend days: L/R 5–6, Breakout, Multiplier \~0.20–0.30, EMA 50, ATR trail 1.0–1.5.
* Match the TV Gann Fan drawing: turn ATR scale OFF, set ticks per bar = `(Δprice between anchor and 1×1 target) / (bars) / mintick`.
Repainting & testing notes
* Pivots require Right bars to confirm; anchors are set after confirmation (no look-ahead).
* Signals use the current bar close with TradingView strategy mechanics; real-time vs. bar-close can differ slightly, as with any strategy.
* Re-anchoring legitimately moves the structure when new pivots confirm—by design.

Natal & Transit Planetary Aspect Table📐 Natal & Transit Planetary Aspect Table
This open-source TradingView indicator displays a customizable table of astrological aspects between natal (first trade or custom date) planetary positions and current/live transits. Built in Pine Script v6, it leverages the AstroLib library for accurate geocentric or heliocentric longitude calculations, supporting a range of financial assets and historical events. Ideal for astro-finance enthusiasts, it highlights major and minor aspects with orbs, applying/separating status, and color-coded visuals. Supports 10 planetary bodies in geocentric mode (Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto) or 11 in heliocentric mode (adds Earth).
Why Use This Indicator?
Astrology offers a unique lens for market analysis by examining planetary alignments relative to an asset's "birth" date (e.g., first trade), potentially revealing cycles, trends, and timing insights that complement technical and fundamental strategies. This tool empowers traders to integrate astro-finance principles, visualizing cosmic influences that may correlate with price movements, reversals, or volatility—backed by historical presets and customizable options for personalized research.
Key Features:
- 23 preset natal dates for assets like BTC, ETH, NYSE, and more (e.g., BTC genesis block on 2009-01-03), with credits to Susan Abbott Gidel for most of the first trade dates from her book " Trading In Sync With Commodities: Introducing Astrology To Your Technical Toolbox ."
- Manual natal and transit timestamp inputs for flexibility.
- Supports geocentric (default) or heliocentric views (displayed as 𝒢 or ℋ in the table), with adjustable observer location (latitude, longitude, timezone).
- Configurable aspects: Conjunction (☌), Opposition (☍), Trine (△), Square (□), Sextile (⚹), and minors like Semi-Sextile (⚺), Quincunx (⚻), etc., with user-defined orbs and colors.
- Applying (a) or separating (s) status is determined by comparing the orb on the current bar to the previous one—if decreasing, applying; if increasing, separating. This simplified approach may differ from traditional astrological methods that consider planetary speeds, directions (direct/retrograde), and which body is faster/slower.
- Table displays planet symbols or names, degrees/signs with tooltips showing exact longitude (e.g., hovering over a planet symbol reveals its precise degree), and aspect symbols/tags (e.g., ⚹a for applying sextile).
- Tooltip on the dates cell to view the exact transit and natal dates for easy tracking.
- Live mode updates with chart timeframe; test mode allows the user to move the transit date historically or to the future via a custom timestamp.
- Customizable table position, text size, colors, and visibility.
How to Use:
1. Add the indicator to your TradingView chart.
2. Select a preset or manual natal date in settings.
3. Choose live transits or test mode with a custom timestamp.
4. Enable/disable aspects and adjust orbs/colors as needed.
5. Hover over cells for detailed tooltips (e.g., exact orb and applying/separating status).

Mikula's Master 360° Square of 12Mikula’s Master 360° Square of 12
An educational W. D. Gann study indicator for price and time. Anchor a compact Square of 12 table to a start point you choose. Begin from a bar’s High or Low (or set a manual start price). From that anchor you can progress or regress the table to study how price steps through cycles in either direction.
What you’re looking at :
Zodiac rail (far left): the twelve signs.
Degree rail: 24 rows in 15° steps from 15° up to 360°/0°.
Transit rail and Natal rail: track one planet per rail. Each planet is placed at its current row (℞ shown when retrograde). As longitude advances, the planet climbs bottom → top, then wraps to the bottom at the next sign; during retrograde it steps downward.
Hover a planet’s cell to see a tooltip with its exact longitude and sign (e.g., 152.4° ♌︎). The linked price cell in the grid moves with the planet’s row so you can follow a planet’s path through the zodiac as a path through price.
Price grid (right): the 12×24 Square of 12. Each column is a cycle; cells are stepped price levels from your start price using your increment.
Bottom rail: shows the current square number and labels the twelve columns in that square.
How the square is read
The square always begins at the bottom left. Read each column bottom → top. At the top, return to the bottom of the next column and read up again. One square contains twelve cycles. Because the anchor can be a High or a Low, you can progress the table upward from the anchor or regress it downward while keeping the same bottom-to-top reading order.
Iterate Square (shifting)
Iterate Square shifts the entire 12×24 grid to the next set of twelve cycles.
Square 1 shows cycles 1–12; Square 2 shows 13–24; Square 3 shows 25–36, etc.
Visibility rules
Pivot cells are table-bound. If you shift the square beyond those prices, their highlights won’t appear in the table.
A/B levels and Transit/Natal planetary lines are chart overlays and can remain visible on the table as you shift the square.
Quick use
Choose an anchor (date/time + High/Low) or enable a manual start price .
Set the increment. If you anchored with a Low and want the table to step downward from there, use a negative value.
Optional: pick Transit and Natal planets (one per rail), toggle their plots, and hover their cells for longitude/sign.
Optional: turn on A/B levels to display repeating bands from the start price.
Optional: enable swing pivots to tint matching cells after the anchor.
Use Iterate Square to shift to later squares of twelve cycles.
Examples
These are exploratory examples to spark ideas:
Overview layout (zodiac & degree rails, Transit/Natal rails, price grid)
A-levels plotted, pivots tinted on the table, real-time price highlighted
Drawing angles from the anchor using price & time read from the table
Using a TradingView Gann box along the A-levels to study reactions

Path of the Planets🪐 Path of the Planets
Path of the Planets is an open-source Pine Script™ v6 indicator. It is inspired by W.D. Gann’s Path of Planets chart, specifically the Chart 5-9 artistic replica by Patrick Mikula "shown below". The script visualizes planetary positions so you can explore possible correlations with price. It overlays geocentric and heliocentric longitudes and declinations using the AstroLib library and includes an optional positions table that shows, at a glance, each body’s geocentric longitude, heliocentric longitude, and declination. This is an educational tool only and not trading advice.
Key Features
Start point: Choose a date and time to begin plotting so studies can align with market events.
Adjustments: Mirror longitudes and shift by 360° multiples to re-frame cycles.
Planets: Toggle geocentric and heliocentric longitudes and declinations for Sun, Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto. Moon declination is available.
Positions table: Optional color-coded table (bottom-right) with three columns labeled Geo, Helio, and Dec. Values show degrees with the zodiac sign for the longitudes and degrees for declinations.
Visualization: Solid lines for geocentric longitudes, circles for heliocentric longitudes, and columns for declinations. Includes a zero-declination reference line.
How It Works
Converts bar timestamps to Julian days via AstroLib.
Fetches positions with AstroLib types: geocentric (0), heliocentric (1), and declination (3).
Normalizes longitudes to the −180° to +180° range, applies optional mirroring and 360° shifts, and converts longitudes to zodiac sign labels for the table.
Plots and the table update only on and after the selected start time.
Usage Tips
Apply on daily or higher timeframes when studying broader cycles. For degrees, use the left scale.
Limitations at the moment: default latitude, longitude, and timezone are set to 0; aspects and retrogrades are not included; the focus is on raw paths.

Concentric Geometry – Invariant MetricsConcentric Geometry – Invariant Metrics
This indicator demonstrates the invariant concept of a concentric circle around a selected price range. By anchoring two points (A & B), it calculates a set of ratios and slopes that remain consistent under concentric scaling of price and time. These invariants include the raw slope (ΔP/N), concentric slope, π-adjusted ratios, and √2 offsets — all of which can be used to explore deeper geometric relationships in the market.
What has been demonstrated here is not an “out-of-the-box” trading system. Instead, the outputs provide the raw invariant metrics from which the trader must derive their own ratios and extensions. For example, price-to-bar ratio inputs are not fixed — they need to be derived from the invariants themselves, and experimenting with them is the key to uncovering harmonic alignments and scaling behaviors.
Key features include:
• Range & Bars Analysis – Price range (ΔP) and bar count (N) between anchors.
• Core Invariants – Midpoint, radius (price and bar units), upper/lower bounds.
• Linear Slope Metrics – ΔP/N and √2 concentric slope.
• π-Adjusted Price/Bar – Harmonic arc-length ratio.
• Circumference & Offsets – Circle circumference, √2 and 1/√2 offsets in price and bar units.
This tool is best suited for traders studying market geometry, W.D. Gann principles, harmonic ratios, or the geometric methods of Michael Jenkins. It does not generate buy/sell signals — instead, it equips the trader with building blocks for geometric exploration.
Key point: The trader must experiment with the ratios derived from these metrics. Playing with different price-to-bar relationships unlocks the true potential of concentric market geometry, whether applied to dynamic anchored VWAPs, concentric overlays, or Vesica Piscis structures.
Use it to:
• Compare slopes across swings
• Derive new ratios from invariant metrics
• Anchor dynamic anchored VWAPs to concentric nodes
• Explore concentric or Vesica Piscis overlays
• Support advanced geometric trading strategies

Gann Single Square Swing Trading System with Gann AnglesGann Single Square Swing Trading System
This script automatically detects "squares" - geometric patterns where price movement equals time movement. When price moves the same distance as the number of bars (time), it creates powerful support/resistance levels based on Gann theory.
Key Visual Elements
• Box: The detected square pattern
• Dark Blue Line (50%): Most important trading level
• Green Lines: Profit target levels (125%, 150%)
• Red Lines: Stop loss levels (-25%, -50%)
• Colored Angle Lines: Gann angles for trend direction
• Quality Score: Blue label showing setup strength (aim for 70%+)
Simple Trading Rules
LONG Trades (Green 🟢 Square)
1. Entry: Buy when price touches the dark blue 50% line from above
2. Stop Loss: Place below the red -25% line
3. Take Profit: Exit at green 125% line (first target) or 150% line (second target)
SHORT Trades (Red 🔴 Square)
1. Entry: Sell when price touches the dark blue 50% line from below
2. Stop Loss: Place above the red -25% line
3. Take Profit: Exit at green 125% line (first target) or 150% line (second target)
Entry Checklist
✅ Square quality score > 70%
✅ Price touches 50% level (dark blue line)
✅ Volume above average (if volume filter enabled)
✅ Clear square formation visible
Alerts
The script generates automatic alerts when price reaches the 50% trading level. Enable alerts in TradingView to get notified of setups.
Bottom Line: Wait for the alert → Check quality score → Enter at 50% level → Set stop at red line → Take profit at green line.
Angled Gann Time-Price Squares with S/RThis is a Pine Script indicator that implements Angled Gann Time-Price Squares based on W.D. Gann's trading theory. Here's what it does:
Core Functionality
Detects pivot highs and lows using a configurable lookback period
Creates angled squares by connecting pivot points to current price action when specific geometric conditions are met
Validates square formation by checking if the price movement follows proper Gann angles (typically 45°, 135°, etc.) within a tolerance range
Key Features
Real-time square tracking: Shows both completed squares and forming squares in progress
Support/Resistance levels: Automatically generates S/R lines from:
Square edge extensions
Diagonal extensions (pivot centers)
Quarter/half levels within squares (25%, 50%, 75%)
Visual feedback: Color-coded squares (green for up, red for down, orange for forming)
Projection lines: Predicts where squares might complete based on Gann angle theory
Gann Theory Application
The indicator follows Gann's principle that time and price move in geometric harmony. It looks for price movements that form perfect squares when plotted on a chart, where the diagonal of the square represents the natural flow of price and time at specific angles.
The generated support/resistance levels are particularly valuable because they're based on completed geometric patterns rather than just horizontal price levels, making them potentially more significant according to Gann methodology.
Gann Octave 8 - Professional V 1.0Gann Octave 8 Indicator:
Core Concept: This indicator divides the price range between highest high and lowest low into 8 equal parts (octaves), creating support/resistance levels based on W.D. Gann's trading principles.
Key Components:
1. Price Range Calculation:
o Finds highest high and lowest low over a lookback period (default 50 bars)
o Divides this range into 8 equal segments (12.5% each)
2. 8 Octave Levels:
o 0% (Low Support) - Strongest support
o 12.5%, 25%, 37.5% - Minor levels
o 50% (CRITICAL) - Most important level
o 62.5%, 75%, 87.5% - Minor levels
o 100% (High Resistance) - Strongest resistance
3. Gann Angles: Projects trend lines from high/low points at various angles (1x1, 2x1, 1x2, etc.)
4. Visual Features:
o Color-coded levels
o Information table showing current position
o Background highlighting when near critical levels
o Trend analysis (bullish/bearish zones)
Trading Strategy
Entry Signals:
BULLISH TRADES:
• Price crosses above 50% level → Strong buy signal
• Price bounces from 25% or 37.5% levels → Support bounce
• Price in upper zone (above 50%) → Bullish bias
BEARISH TRADES:
• Price crosses below 50% level → Strong sell signal
• Price rejects at 75% or 87.5% levels → Resistance rejection
• Price in lower zone (below 50%) → Bearish bias
Key Trading Rules:
1. 50% Level is Critical: Most important for trend direction
2. Zone Trading:
o Above 50% = Bullish zone (look for longs)
o Below 50% = Bearish zone (look for shorts)
3. Strength Levels:
o Above 75% or below 25% = Strong moves
o Near 100% (high) or 0% (low) = Extreme levels
Risk Management:
• Stop Loss: Place below previous octave level
• Take Profit: Target next octave level
• Position Size: Reduce size near extreme levels (0%, 100%)
Example Trade:
If price breaks above 50% level:
• Entry: Long position
• Stop: Below 37.5% level
• Target: 75% level
• Risk: Monitor for rejection at resistance levels
The indicator works best in trending markets and helps identify high-probability reversal zones.

Gann Swing PointsIndicator Logic
This is a GANN-style swing indicator that classifies bars based on their high/low structure relative to the previous bar.
I strongly encourage you to replay bars on Tradingview using this indicator to get a sense of how it creates pivot (or swing) points
Bar Classification:
Up-Bar (direction: 'up'): Higher High and Higher Low (HH/HL)
Down-Bar (direction: 'down'): Lower High and Lower Low (LH/LL)
Outside-Bar (generates 2 directions):
Green: 'down' then 'up'
Red: 'up' then 'down'
Inside-Bar: No direction generated (HL/LH)
Swing Line Logic
The swing line continues in the current direction until n opposite directions are detected.
n is the "n-direction" parameter (commonly set to 2, so 2 consecutive opposite direction is needed to turn the swing)
When n opposing directions occur, the swing turns, creating a pivot point
Inside bar is ignored, so e.g up-bar -> inside-bar -> up-bar generates "up", "up" direction
A top pivot is formed when the swing turns down
A bottom pivot is formed when it turns up
Note: This swing logic is inherently lagging — it only confirms tops/bottoms after the fact
This swing structure gives the system a clear and noise-resistant way to identify pivot points (swing-points)
Yearly History Calendar-Aligned Price up to 10 Years)Overview
This indicator helps traders compare historical price patterns from the past 10 calendar years with the current price action. It overlays translucent lines (polylines) for each year’s price data on the same calendar dates, providing a visual reference for recurring trends.

Gann Percentage of High & Low Prices for Options - Keanu_RiTzThis Indicator is based on the text from Chapter 4 "Percentage of High & Low Prices" page number "30" from the book "WD Gann 45 years in Wall Street".
This Indicator is to be used on Intraday Timeframes and only on Options Charts (CALL & PUT) and not on any other chart.
The following is the text from that page :-
One of the greatest discoveries I ever made was how to figure the percentage of high and low prices on the averages and individual stocks.
The percentages of extreme high and low levels indicate future resistance levels.
There is a relation between every low price to some future high price and a percentage of the low price indicates what levels to expect the next high price.
At this price you can sell out long stocks and sell short with a limited risk.
The extreme high price or any minor tops are related to future bottoms er low levels.
The percentage of the high price tells where to expect low prices in the future and gives you resistance levels where you can buy with a limited risk.
The most important resistance level is 50% of any high or low price.
Second in importance is 100% on the lowest selling price on the averages or individual stocks.
You must also use 200%, 300%, 400%, 500%, 600% or more, depending upon the price and the Time Periods from High and Low.
Third in importance is 25% of the Lowest price or the Highest price.
Fourth in importance is 121/2% of the extreme Low or extreme High price.
Fifth in importance is 61/4% of the Highest price, but this is only to be used when the averages or individual stocks are selling at very high levels.
Sixth in importance is 33 1/3 and 66 2/3%. These percentages should be calculated and watched for resistance next after 25% and after 50%.
You should always have percentage tables made up on the Industrial Averages and on the individual stocks you trade in in order to know where these important resistance levels are located.
Description :
It plots the Intraday % levels from the highest high and lowest low of that day.
The calculation of these levels is based on the text from Chapter 4 "Percentage of High & Low Prices" page number "30" from the book "WD Gann 45 years in Wall Street".
I developed this indicator to see if those percentages work on Options prices or not,
and from my observation I found that it works wonderfully in Options as well.
These % levels work like magic and act as great Dynamic Support and Resistance levels.
Don't trust my words blindly and see for yourself.
This indicator is for educational and research purpose only.
It does not provide any BUY/SELL signals.

Double Numbered Triangle Chart Progression | RegressionThe Double-Numbered Triangle Progression | Regression Indicator enables forecasting of support and resistance levels by progressing or regressing on the Triangle Chart from a user-selected pivot price. The indicator also plots adjustable pivots on both the chart and the Triangle Price and Time Chart.
How to use to forecast support and resistance levels:
1. Select a Pivot Point: Set the correct price to the pivot by selecting High or Low in the indicator.
2. Set Price Increment: Choose a price increment to adjust the starting price on the Triangle Chart (e.g., 1 or -0.01).
3. Rotate to adjust the number of levels on the Triangle Chart.
4. Plot Levels: Choose the Left Edge, Center, or Right Edge of the Triangle Chart to plot support and resistance levels. These levels automatically expand or decrease depending on the number of levels in step 3. The selected angle's price values are applied to the chart with labels on both sides. The left labels represent the time variable, and the right labels indicate the price. The time variable is used in conjunction with my other indicator "Price and Longitude Angles." The same goes for the Double Numbered Square of Nine indicator.
5. Review Levels: Examine the plotted support and resistance levels with recent market pivots.
6. Identify Correlations: Find the Triangle edge or center that aligns with the most market pivots.
7. The indicator plots user-adjustable pivots on both candles/bars and shows their placement on the Triangle Chart in both Progression and Regression. This visualization helps users identify which angles the highs and lows favor from the selected pivot. Pivot levels' colors can be customized. The close price is plotted on the Triangle Chart in real time with a white background.
Each market has its tendencies, favoring specific angles from the Triangle Chart. The basic idea is to choose between the Left edge, Center, or Right edge of the Triangle to forecast support and resistance levels.
Settings:
Overview:
Example of Forecasting Support and resistance level using this indicator:
In the image above, I am regressing from the significant high at a rate of $-0.008 per cell as shown on the main info label. Based on the plotted pivots, I have chosen the right edge of the triangle as it aligns with these recent pivots. I have drawn a lime green vertical line to indicate that as we add layers to the triangle chart, we introduce support and resistance levels based on the identified angle that aligns with these early pivots from the high.
In the image below, I've moved forward in time to illustrate how the initial angle chosen based on the early pivots forecasted support and resistance levels on $DOGE. Do not expect the price to turn sharply at the levels the indicator generates. As P. Mikula mentions in his work, and I apply the same with the Triangle Chart, " The Square of Nine successfully defines market price swings but does not cause the market to form pivots. "
This indicator is inspired by the methodologies detailed by Patrick Mikula in his book, The Definitive Guide to Forecasting using W.D Gann's Square of Nine. I recommend checking it out. He also mentions another use case as a Triangle Price and Time chart in his book, Gann Scientific Method Unveiled, Volume 2, where you can use my open-source indicator "Price and Longitude Angle" alongside both the Doubled Numbered Square of Nine and this Triangle Chart indicator.
FYI, I am not affiliated with Patrick Mikula in any way.
Planned improvements include adding two more angles: Left Center column and Right Center column as additional options to select.
FYI: Please ensure you select the high when regressing from a high. Also, make sure to add enough layers on the Triangle to see all the pivots. Once you've identified an angle, you can hide the table to gain back space on the chart. Use rounding precision for lower prices.
Doubled Numbered Square of Nine Progression | RegressionThe Doubled Number Square of Nine Progression | Regression Indicator enables forecasting of support and resistance levels using the SQ9 progression or regression from a user-selected pivot price. The indicator also plots adjustable pivots on both the chart and the Square of Nine.
How to use to forecast support and resistance levels:
1. Select a Pivot Point: Choose a top or bottom pivot to use as the starting point. Select High or Low in the indicator to set the correct price to the pivot.
2. Set Price Increment or Decrement: Select a price increment to advance the starting price on the Square of Nine (for example 1 or -0.01).
3. Rotate to add or decrease the number of rungs on the Square on Nine: Rotate the Square of Nine and adjust the dimensions. The horizontal levels correlate to the rotation of the Square of Nine.
4. Plot Levels: Select a Square of Nine angle to plot the support and resistance levels based on the selected increments. These levels auto expand and decrease depending on the number of rotations in step 3. The price values from each of the selected diagonal or cardinal cross are applied to the chart with labels on both left and right. Left labels represent the cell the time variable and the right label is price.
5. Review Levels: Conduct a simple review of the plotted support and resistance levels in relation to recent market pivots.
6. Identify Correlations: Identify the Square of Nine cardinal cross or diagonal cross angle that correlates with the most market pivots.
7. The indicator plots user-adjustable pivots on both candles/bars and displays their placement on the Square of Nine in both Progression and Regression. The close price is plotted on the Square of Nine in real-time with a white background. This helps users identify which angles the highs and lows favor from the selected pivot. The pivot levels' colors can be adjusted.
Each market has its tendencies, favoring specific angles from the cardinal or diagonal cross. The basic idea is to choose between the diagonal cross and cardinal cross angles to forecast support and resistance levels.
Settings:
Overview:
Example on Forecasting Support and resistance level using this indicator:
In the image above, I'm progressing from the significant low at a rate of $200 per cell. Based on the plotted pivots, I've selected the 315-degree angle on the diagonal cross as it aligns with a few recent pivots. Now, I've drawn a vertical line to show that as we add rungs to the Square of Nine, we introduce support and resistance levels based on the identified angle that aligns with these early pivots from the low.
In the image below, I've moved forward in time to show how the initial angle selected based on the early pivot forecasted support and resistance levels around the high in BTC. Do not expect the price to turn sharply at the levels the indicator generates, but use it to help identify SQ9 levels that may form market turns. As P. Mikula mentions in his work, "The Square of Nine successfully defines market price swings but it does not make the market form pivots."
This indicator includes enhancements made to the Gann Square of Nine indicator originally created by @ThiagoSchmitz.
This indicator is inspired by the methodologies detailed by Patrick Mikula in his book " The Definitive Guide to Forecasting using W.D Gann's Square of Nine ." I recommend checking it out. He also mentions another use case as a Price and Time chart in his " Gann Scientific Method Unveiled, Volume 2 ." FYI, I am not affiliated with Patrick Mikula in any way.
Known Issues:
Close price plotted on the Square of Nine in Regression "from a high pivot" takes a current candle to close in order to be plotted. Progression works as expected.
Price and Longitude Angles Planetary Price & Longitude Angles Indicator
This indicator plots planetary price and longitude angles starting from a user-selected date and time, offering a distinctive lens to explore the relationship between price and planetary timing. It supports both heliocentric and geocentric, enabling flexible and in-depth planetary analysis. The angles can be plotted across any time frame for maximum versatility.
How to Use
Once the indicator is loaded, you’ll be prompted to select a starting date and time for your analysis. From there, customize it as follows:
Select Planetary Options:
To plot the price and longitude for a single planet, choose the same planet in both dropdown menus.
To plot the average of two planets, select a different planet in each dropdown.
Set the Price Per Degree of Longitude: Adjust this value to define the scaling of the planetary angles relative to price.
Customize Fan Settings:
Toggle the mirroring of the fan on or off based on your needs.
Show or hide specific angle divisions to tailor the display to your preferences.
Display or conceal the information label that indicates the price per longitude and the number of degrees traveled.
This indicator is inspired by the methodologies of W.D. Gann and Patrick Mikula, expanding on concepts from Gann Scientific Method Unveiled, Volume 2. It was built using Astrolib by @BarefootJoey
I crafted this tool through dedication to support my own study of these ideas. I’m sharing it open-source not only to deepen my understanding and honor the work of Gann and Mikula, but also to invite collaboration. There’s always room for improvement—whether in functionality, accuracy, or design—and I hope others will join me in refining it. This is for those like me: eager to explore these concepts but lacking tools to experiment with. Let’s build on it together.
WD Gann: Vertical Lines for Predefined Days/Bars AgoThis Pine Script draws vertical lines on the chart at specific time intervals, inspired by WD Gann’s theories of time cycles . WD Gann, a famous trader, believed that market movements were influenced by predictable time cycles. This script enables traders to visualize these key time cycles on the chart by placing vertical lines at predefined intervals (in bars ago), helping to identify potential turning points in the market.
The time intervals used in this script are inspired by Gann’s work, as well as astrological and numerological principles , which many traders believe influence market behavior . You can customize which time intervals (such as 3, 7, 9, 21, etc.) you want to track by enabling or disabling specific vertical lines on the chart.
Key Features:
Time Cycles Based on Gann’s Theory: Draws vertical lines at significant time intervals such as 3, 7, 9, 21, 27 bars ago, which are commonly used by Gann traders.
Astrological & Numerological Significance: The predefined intervals also align with key numerological and astrological values, allowing for a broader perspective on market cycles.
Customizable Intervals: You can choose which time intervals to display by enabling or disabling checkboxes for each cycle, allowing flexibility in chart analysis.
Visual Labels: Each vertical line is labeled with its corresponding "bars ago" value, providing clear reference points for the selected time cycles.
What Users Can Do:
Track and analyze market movements based on time cycles that are significant to Gann’s theory, as well as numerological and astrological influences.
Enable or disable vertical lines for specific cycles, like the 3-bar cycle, 9-bar cycle, or 365-bar cycle, depending on the intervals that align with your trading strategy.
Combine with other technical analysis tools and Gann techniques (e.g., Gann Angles, Gann Fans, or Square of Nine) for a more comprehensive trading approach.
This tool is designed for traders who believe in the power of time cycles to influence market behavior, and is especially useful for predicting turning points or key price movements based on these cycles.
WD Gann: Close Price X Bars Ago with Line or Candle PlotThis indicator is inspired by the principles of WD Gann, a legendary trader known for his groundbreaking methods in time and price analysis. It helps traders track the close price of a security from X bars ago, a technique that is often used to identify key price levels in relation to past price movements. This concept is essential for Gann’s market theories, which emphasize the relationship between time and price.
WD Gann’s analysis often revolved around specific numbers that he considered significant, many of which correspond to squared numbers (e.g., 1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, 49, 64, 81, 100, 121, 144, 169, 196, 225, 256, 289, 324, 361, 400, 441, 484, 529, 576, 625, 676, 729, 784, 841, 900, 961, 1024, 1089, 1156, 1225, 1296, 1369, 1444, 1521, 1600, 1681, 1764, 1849, 1936). These numbers are believed to represent natural rhythms and cycles in the market. This indicator can help you explore how past price levels align with these significant numbers, potentially revealing key price zones that could act as support, resistance, or reversal points.
Key Features:
- Historical Close Price Calculation: The indicator calculates and displays the close price of a security from X bars ago (where X is customizable). This method aligns with Gann's focus on price relationships over specific time intervals, providing traders with valuable reference points to assess market conditions.
- Customizable Plot Type: You can choose between two plot types for visualizing the historical close price:
- Line Plot: A simple line that represents the close price from X bars ago, ideal for those who prefer a clean and continuous representation.
- Candle Plot: Displays the close price as a candlestick chart, providing a more detailed view with open, high, low, and close prices from X bars ago.
- Candle Color Coding: For the candle plot type, the script color-codes the candles. Green candles appear when the close price from X bars ago is higher than the open price, indicating bullish sentiment; red candles appear when the close is lower, indicating bearish sentiment. This color coding gives a quick visual cue to market sentiment.
- Customizable Number of Bars: You can adjust the number of bars (X) to look back, providing flexibility for analyzing different timeframes. Whether you're conducting short-term or long-term analysis, this input can be fine-tuned to suit your trading strategy.
- Gann Method Application: WD Gann's methods involved analyzing price action over specific time periods to predict future movements. This indicator offers traders a way to assess how the price of a security has behaved in the past in relation to a chosen time interval, a critical concept in Gann's theories.
How to Use:
1. Input Settings:
- Number of Bars (X): Choose the number of bars to look back (e.g., 100, 200, or any custom period).
- Plot Type: Select whether to display the data as a Line or Candles.
2. Interpretation:
- Using the Line plot, observe how the close price from X bars ago compares to the current market price.
- Using the Candles plot, analyze the full price action of the chosen bar from X bars ago, noting how the close price relates to the open, high, and low of that bar.
3. Gann Analysis: Integrate this indicator into your broader Gann-based analysis. By looking at past price levels and their relationship to significant squared numbers, traders can uncover potential key levels of support and resistance or even potential reversal points. The historical close price can act as a benchmark for predicting future market movements.
Suggestions on WD Gann's Emphasis in Trading:
WD Gann’s trading methods were rooted in several key principles that emphasized the relationship between time and price. These principles are vital to understanding how the "Close Price X Bars Ago" indicator fits into his overall analysis:
1. Time Cycles: Gann believed that markets move in cyclical patterns. By studying price levels from specific time intervals, traders can spot these cycles and predict future market behavior. This indicator allows you to see how the close price from X bars ago relates to current market conditions, helping to spot cyclical highs and lows.
2. Price and Time Squaring: A core concept in Gann’s theory is that certain price levels and time periods align, often marking significant reversal points. The squared numbers (e.g., 1, 4, 9, 16, 25, etc.) serve as potential key levels where price and time might "square" to create support or resistance. This indicator helps traders spot these historical price levels and their potential relevance to future price action.
3. Geometric Angles: Gann used angles (like the 45-degree angle) to predict market movements, with the belief that prices move at specific geometric angles over time. This indicator gives traders a reference for past price levels, which could align with key angles, helping traders predict future price movement based on Gann's geometry.
4. Numerology and Key Intervals: Gann paid particular attention to numbers that held significance, including squared numbers and numbers related to the Fibonacci sequence. This indicator allows traders to analyze price levels based on these key numbers, which can help in identifying potential turning points in the market.
5. Support and Resistance Levels: Gann’s methods often involved identifying levels of support and resistance based on past price action. By tracking the close price from X bars ago, traders can identify past support and resistance levels that may become significant again in future market conditions.
Perfect for:
Traders using WD Gann’s methods, such as Gann angles, time cycles, and price theory.
Analysts who focus on historical price levels to predict future price action.
Those who rely on numerology and geometric principles in their trading strategies.
By integrating this indicator into your trading strategy, you gain a powerful tool for analyzing market cycles and price movements in relation to key time intervals. The ability to track and compare the historical close price to significant numbers—like Gann’s squared numbers—can provide valuable insights into potential support, resistance, and reversal points.
