Gann’s Box (or Gann’s Square) is a method of market analysis based on William Gann’s article “Mathematical formula for market predictions” (W. D. Gann
“Mathematical formula for market predictions”). This indicator can build three models of Squares: 90, 52(104), 144. Six
grid options and two arc options. You can plot multiple squares on the same graph at the same time.
- Square — select the square model:
- The 90 — square 90 (or square of nine);
- 52 (104) – square 52 (or 104);
- 144-universal square 144;
- 144 (full) — the “full” version of the square, combined lines from other squares. As far as we know, Gann has no such square
it was; - for Arcs-simplified square for Arcs;
- Grid-grid options:
- 4×4 (52) — grid 4 by 4, marking 52;
- 5×5 (40) — grid 5 by 5, layout 40;
- 8×8 (90) — grid 8 by 8, layout 90;
- 8×8 (104) — grid 8 by 8, layout 104;
- 8×8 (144) — grid 8 by 8, marking 144;
- 16×16 (144) — grid 16 by 16, marking 144;
- 36×36 (144) — grid of 36 by 36, the markup 144;
- disable — disable the grid;
- Arcs-variants of Arcs:
- 4×4-4-by-4 layout;
- 5×5-5 by 5 layout;
- disable — do not use arcs;
- Length of Square, Bars (X-axis) — length of the square in bars;
- Height of Square Points (Y-axis) is the height of the square in points;
- Build at the start — building a square at the start:
- in the center of the chart;
- at the specified time — at the specified time;
- to use the previous-use the previous square (if there is one on the chart);
- Freeze the size of the box-fix the scale of the box;
- Leave the square on the chart-leave the square on the chart after removing the indicator;
- Display the rays to the right — display the rays to the right;
- Display the scale numbers — display the scale numbers;
- Display the name of the Square — display the name of the square;
- Direction of Square — building direction, up or down;
- Time of the bar to start building the Square — time of the bar to start building the box;
- Upper price for build the Square (if the Height is zero) — the upper price of the box, if the parameter “Square height” is zero, then the square
built at these prices; - Lower price for build the Square (if the Height is zero) — the lower price of the box, if the “Square Height” parameter is zero, then the square
built at these prices; - Prefix — change for several boxes) – prefix of box objects, you need to change if you use several squares at the same time;
- Color 1 on a white background — color of line 1 on a white background;
- Color 1 on a black background — color of line 1 on a black background;
- Width 1 — the width of line 1;
- Style 1 — line 1 style;
- Color 2 on a white background — color of line 2 on a white background;
- Color 2 on a black background — color of line 2 on a black background;
- Width 2 — line width 2;
- Style 2 — line 2 style;
- Color on a white background— color of the arc line on a white background;
- Color on a black background — color of the arc line on a black background;
- Width — width of the arc line;
- Grid color on a white background — grid color on a white background;
- Grid color on a black background — grid color on a black background;
- Width lines — width of the grid lines;
- Style lines — style of grid lines;
- Display the Grid of one-third-show the 1/3 grid;
- Font size — the font size;
- Text color on a white background — text color on a white background;
- Text color on a black background — text color on a black background;
- Enable WASD keys-enable WASD key management. W — up, A-left, S-down and D-right;
- Horizontal shift (bars) – horizontal offset of the square (bars);
- Vertical shift (points) – vertical offset of the square (points);
- All timeframes-display a square on all chart periods;
- M1-display the square on the period M1;
- M5-display a square on the M5 period;
- M15-display a square on the M15 period;
- M30-display a square on the M30 period;
- H1-display the square on the period H1;
- H4-display the square on the period H4;
- D1-display a square on period D1;
- W1-display the square on the period W1;
- MN1-display a square on the MN1 period.
