Gann Sacred Geometry Hexagram Ver 1.2━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🔯 GANN SACRED GEOMETRY HEXAGRAM v1.2
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
A comprehensive technical analysis tool combining W.D. Gann's sacred geometry principles,
hexagram patterns, and advanced confluence scoring for high-probability trade signals.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
📖 GANN THEORY BACKGROUND
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
W.D. Gann (1878-1955) believed markets move in geometric patterns and that price
and time must be in balance. His methods incorporated:
- The Square of Nine
- Geometric angles (1x1, 2x1, etc.)
- Sacred geometry and natural law
- Cycle theory and time divisions
- The principle "When time and price square, a change in trend is imminent"
This indicator applies these timeless principles with modern confluence analysis.
SACRED GEOMETRY FOUNDATION:
The hexagram (six-pointed star) is formed by two overlapping equilateral triangles:
- ▲ Upward triangle = Yang energy, bullish forces, expansion
- ▼ Downward triangle = Yin energy, bearish forces, contraction
When overlapped, they create the "Star of David" - representing perfect balance
between opposing market forces. Gann believed this geometry revealed natural
support and resistance zones where price would react.
HEXAGRAM IN MARKETS:
- 6 outer points = Major reversal zones
- Center point = Balance/equilibrium price
- Inner intersections = Secondary support/resistance
- The shape itself creates "harmonic" price levels
GANN'S SQUARE PHILOSOPHY:
"When time and price square, a change in trend is imminent."
- W.D. Gann
This indicator applies the "squaring" concept:
1. SPATIAL SQUARE: Grid cells are perfect squares in price-time space
2. TEMPORAL SQUARE: Time divisions (1/4, 1/2, 3/4) create cycle points
3. PRICE SQUARE: Price divisions (25%, 50%, 75%) mirror time divisions
4. GEOMETRIC SQUARE: All geometry radiates from perfect square centers
When price reaches a corner or edge of a square at a time cycle point,
the "squaring" of price and time creates a reversal probability zone.
PHI IN GANN GEOMETRY:
The Golden Ratio appears throughout natural phenomena and market structure.
This script uses φ in two primary ways:
1. INNER TRIANGLE SCALING:
- Outer triangles span the full cell (100%)
- Inner triangles scaled by φ⁻¹ (0.618 or 61.8%)
- This creates Fibonacci retracement levels geometrically
2. HARMONIC RESONANCE:
- φ ratio divides price space into natural harmony
- Markets tend to pause/reverse at these φ-scaled levels
- Combines Fibonacci analysis with Gann geometry
MATHEMATICAL RELATIONSHIP:
Inner Triangle Height = Outer Height × 0.618
Inner Triangle Width = Outer Width × 0.618
These create the 61.8% retracement levels automatically
within each grid cell's geometry.
GANN'S COMPLETE ANGLE SYSTEM:
Gann identified 9 primary angles that price follows. Each represents a different
relationship between price movement and time passage:
╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗
║ ANGLE │ RATIO │ DEGREES │ MEANING ║
╠════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╣
║ 1x8 │ 1:8 │ 7.125° │ Very slow trend (gentle) ║
║ 1x4 │ 1:4 │ 14.036° │ Slow trend ║
║ 1x3 │ 1:3 │ 18.435° │ Moderate-slow trend ║
║ 1x2 │ 1:2 │ 26.565° │ Moderate trend ║
║ 1x1 │ 1:1 │ 45.000° │ MASTER ANGLE (most important) ║
║ 2x1 │ 2:1 │ 63.435° │ Strong trend ║
║ 3x1 │ 3:1 │ 71.565° │ Very strong trend ║
║ 4x1 │ 4:1 │ 75.964° │ Extreme trend ║
║ 8x1 │ 8:1 │ 82.875° │ Parabolic trend (unsustainable)║
╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝
THE 1x1 ANGLE - THE MASTER:
- Most important angle in Gann theory
- Represents perfect balance: 1 unit price = 1 unit time
- When price is ABOVE 1x1 = Bullish control
- When price is BELOW 1x1 = Bearish control
- Crossing 1x1 = Major trend change signal
ANGLE FANS:
- From any pivot point, all 9 angles radiate outward
- Creates a "fan" of dynamic support/resistance
- Steeper angles (4x1, 8x1) = strong momentum resistance
- Gentler angles (1x4, 1x8) = weak support in downtrends
THE SACRED DIVISIONS OF TIME:
Gann divided all cycles into 8 equal parts, based on ancient geometry
and astrological principles:
CYCLE DIVISIONS (8ths):
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ 1/8 = 12.5% │ First minor turn point │
│ 2/8 = 25.0% │ First major turn (Cardinal) │
│ 3/8 = 37.5% │ Second minor turn │
│ 4/8 = 50.0% │ MID-CYCLE (most powerful) │
│ 5/8 = 62.5% │ Third minor turn │
│ 6/8 = 75.0% │ Second major turn (Cardinal) │
│ 7/8 = 87.5% │ Fourth minor turn │
│ 8/8 = 100.0% │ CYCLE COMPLETION (reversal zone) │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
WHY EIGHTHS?
- 8 is the number of balance in sacred geometry
- Octave divisions create harmonic resonance
- 360° circle ÷ 8 = 45° (the 1x1 master angle)
- Natural cycles show 8-fold symmetry
IN THIS SCRIPT:
When current time position is within 8% of any eighth division,
the "Gann 8ths Timing" factor activates, adding confluence points.
THE CARDINAL CROSS SYSTEM:
The Cardinal Cross divides any square into four equal quadrants,
creating a cross pattern:
100% ●━━━━━━━━━━━━━●
┃ ↑ ┃
75% ┃ SELL ZONE ┃ ← Resistance quadrant
┃ ↑ ┃
50% ●━━━━━●━━━━━━● ← EQUILIBRIUM (most important)
┃ ↓ ┃
25% ┃ BUY ZONE ┃ ← Support quadrant
┃ ↓ ┃
0% ●━━━━━━━━━━━━━●
PRICE LEVELS:
- 0% = Bottom support (grid cell low)
- 25% = Lower mid-level support
- 50% = PERFECT BALANCE - most powerful level
- 75% = Upper mid-level resistance
- 100% = Top resistance (grid cell high)
TIME DIVISIONS:
- 0% = Cycle start (grid cell left edge)
- 25% = First quarter turn
- 50% = Mid-cycle (most powerful timing)
- 75% = Third quarter turn
- 100% = Cycle completion (grid cell right edge)
CONFLUENCE MAGIC:
When BOTH price AND time align at cardinal points simultaneously:
Example: Price at 50% level + Time at 50% of cycle = Maximum power
This is the "squaring" Gann referred to.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🎯 HOW IT WORKS
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
📍 GRID CONSTRUCTION:
The indicator identifies the most recent significant swing high-to-low movement using
configurable pivot periods (default: 88 bars). This creates the base "square" which is
then replicated in a grid pattern both vertically (price) and horizontally (time).
📐 SACRED GEOMETRY:
Each grid cell contains:
- Outer hexagram (Star of David) formed by two overlapping triangles
- Inner φ-ratio triangles scaled by the Golden Ratio
- Gann angles radiating from the center point
- Cardinal cross levels dividing price into quarters
🔍 CONFLUENCE SCORING SYSTEM:
Signals are generated when multiple Gann principles align:
1. Cardinal Cross Levels (0-6 points) - Price at key quarter divisions
2. Gann Angle Touches (0-5 points) - Price touching dynamic support/resistance angles
3. Angle Clustering (0-6 points) - Multiple angles converging = strong zone
4. Gann 8ths Timing (0-3 points) - At critical time cycle points
5. Price-Time Square (0-4 points) - Balanced price/time movement
6. Trend Alignment (0-3 points) - Signal direction matches trend
7. Grid Boundary Timing (0-3 points) - Near cell edges = reversal zones
8. φ Triangle Touches (0-2 points) - Golden ratio support/resistance
9. Reversal Patterns (0-2 points) - Wick rejections confirming reversal
Minimum confluence score of 15 required for signal (adjustable 8-30).

Gann Octave 8 Ver.2.0Gann Octave 8 Ver.2.0 - Complete Trading Guide
Overview
This indicator combines W.D. Gann's time-tested principles of market geometry with modern technical analysis. It identifies key market structures and projects precise support/resistance levels along with angular momentum lines to help traders identify high-probability trading opportunities.
________________________________________
Core Concepts
1. Gann's Octave Division (The Rule of 8)
W.D. Gann discovered that markets move in harmonic divisions based on the number 8. This indicator divides any swing movement into 8 equal parts (octaves):
• 0% - Swing extreme (High for bearish, Low for bullish)
• 12.5% - First octave
• 25% - Quarter level
• 37.5% - Three-eighths level
• 50% - Midpoint (most critical level)
• 62.5% - Five-eighths level
• 75% - Three-quarter level
• 87.5% - Seventh octave
• 100% - Swing extreme (opposite end)
Why 8? Gann believed natural market cycles follow mathematical harmonics. The octave division provides precise entry and exit points that frequently act as support/resistance zones.
2. Gann Angles (Price-Time Relationship)
Gann angles represent the relationship between price movement and time. Each angle shows different momentum levels:
• 1x1 (Black) - 45° angle, perfect balance between price and time. Most important Gann angle. Represents the natural trend line.
• 2x1 (Red) - Steeper angle, 2 units of price per 1 unit of time. Shows strong momentum.
• 1x2 (Red) - Flatter angle, 1 unit of price per 2 units of time. Shows weak momentum.
• 4x1 & 1x4 (Blue) - Even more extreme angles indicating very strong or very weak trends.
• 8x1 & 1x8 (Orange) - Most extreme angles, parabolic moves or complete consolidation.
Key Principle: When price is above the 1x1 angle = bullish. Below 1x1 = bearish. When price crosses from one angle to another, it signals a change in momentum.

How the Indicator Works
Structure Detection
The indicator automatically identifies market swings using pivot points:
1. Bullish Structure (Green): Detected when price makes a higher high
o Octave levels calculated from swing low (0%) to swing high (100%)
o Gann angles project upward from the swing low
2. Bearish Structure (Red): Detected when price makes a lower low
o Octave levels calculated from swing high (0%) to swing low (100%)
o Gann angles project downward from the swing high
Dynamic Updates
• Swing Tracker ON: Levels update continuously as the swing evolves
• Swing Tracker OFF: Levels lock at the initial swing detection (cleaner charts)
Historical Structures
The indicator maintains previous swing structures based on "Number of Swings to Show":
• Set to 1: Only current structure (cleanest)
• Set to 2-3: Current + recent history (recommended for context)
• Set to 4+: Multiple historical structures (may overlap but shows pattern)

• Indicates trend is intact
• Entry: When price respects the angle
• Stop Loss: Below the 1x1 angle
• Target: Next resistance level
SELL SIGNALS (Red Triangle Down ▼)
Signal 1: Rejection from Resistance Levels
• Price rallies to 0%, 50%, or 100% level and reverses

Advanced Trading Techniques
1. The 50% Rule (Most Powerful)
The 50% octave level is the most critical in Gann theory:
• In Uptrend: Price should not break below 50% retracement. If it holds = trend intact, go long.
• In Downtrend: Price should not break above 50% retracement. If it holds = trend intact, go short.
• Reversal: Breaking and closing beyond 50% often signals trend reversal.
2. Gann Angle Confluence
When multiple Gann angles converge with octave levels = HIGH probability zone:
• Look for price to bounce or reverse at these zones
• Example: 1x2 angle meets 50% level = strong support/resistance
• These zones often become pivot points
3. Multiple Timeframe Analysis
• Use higher timeframe (daily) for major structure
• Use lower timeframe (5min, 15min) for precise entries
• Take trades when both timeframes align
4. Swing Failure Pattern
• Price breaks a key level (e.g., 50%) but quickly reverses back
• This "false breakout" often leads to strong move in opposite direction
• Wait for signal in the reversal direction
