Trading the Gann Square of Nine – With a Calculator and a Pencil
Trading the Gann Square of Nine With a Calculator and a Pencil is one of the clearest, most practical modern explanations of how traders can apply the Gann Square of Nine without specialized software, overlays, or complex tools. Unlike many Gann writings that remain cryptic or symbolic, this guide breaks the Cube-of-Nine down into step-by-step mechanical procedures that any trader can execute using only a chart, a calculator, and disciplined observation.
The book begins by demystifying the Gann Wheel, showing that its geometric structure is fundamentally a square-root calculator arranged in rotational symmetry. Readers learn how rotating around the wheel by 45°, 90°, 180°, and 360° corresponds to simple numerical transformations that reveal support, resistance, and trend exhaustion levels.
From there, the authors introduce one of the most powerful tools in modern Gann analysis: the Square of Nine Roadmap Chart. This technique overlays horizontal price-level rotations and vertical time cycles directly onto any bar chart. With only the square root of a pivot price and a simple degrees-to-factor table, traders can forecast price channels, resistance walls, and trend boundaries. The book teaches how to calculate these levels manually—including 90°, 180°, and full 360° rotations—and how to construct upward or downward price channels that track trend development with precision.
The later chapters focus on the five ways price and time square, including
squaring current price with elapsed time,
squaring price range of one trend with time in another,
squaring fixed pivot prices with future time,
and converting any value—price, time, or range—into degrees of a circle.
This work is especially valuable because the examples use everyday, real-world markets like the SPX, DJX, and stocks such as DELL, with detailed calculations that traders can follow exactly. The authors emphasize that Gann’s power lies not in hidden “secrets,” but in consistent application of mathematical structure.
This document is essential for traders wanting a hands-on, technique-driven understanding of Gann geometry—providing a bridge between classical Gann theory and modern chart-based execution.
