I have written before (in Issue 317) on the subject of what are called Geometric Angles or Gann Angles. These are part of the 3rd dimension of Gann analysis, also known as ‘squaring time and price.’ If this sounds totally confusing, don’t worry. Think of a simple trend line. It is a line joining 2 tops or 2 bottoms and extended forward. The difference with a Gann angle is that it moves at a fixed rate and is thus not dependent on a second top or bottom in order for you to draw the line. You may find it helpful to review the earlier article.
