You are confusing a Gann Square with a Gann Square 
of 9.  I am not trying to generate a Gann Square of 9 on a chart, but a 
Gann square based on the Square of 9.
 
I am curious, however, 
do you have any evidence that 
either is a "bunch of crap?"  Do you know how to generate a square 
or even use it properly?  Do you have another technique that generates 
time and price from a single high or low point?  The attached is a recent 
example of the square for gold from the 4/2/01 low.  The 180 degree level 
is 289 and the actual was 288.5.  The square in time is 16 and is one day 
off.  Do you have anything that could make these projections based on the 
4/2/01 low?  Would love to see a valid alternative.  

 
Could other TA have made similar projections.  
Probably.  Does this mean that I don't use Gann stuff - no.  I use 
anything and everything that works.
 
I am not a Gann defender, nor an Elliott or 
Fibonacci or anything defender.  If you have a defendable basis for 
rejecting a particular methodology then please share it with the group.  
Otherwise, one might get the impression that your opinions are totally 
subjective in nature.
 
By the way, although I am not a student of Gann, I 
have read that when he died he had $50MM in an offshore bank that was shielded 
from his family or at least some of them.
 
Good luck in your trading.
 
Bill

I've never seen such a thing.  Gann 
squares are usually a table drawn by hand in a spiral where the key dates 
are those at certain angles of the square (or hexagon).  Numbering 
starts at the centre and radiates outwards in a spiral.  When a price 
is hit at say the 90deg radial then usually it means the next stop of is 
another quadrant angle such as 45, 180, 270 (from memory).  So whatever 
price was at that point is the possible up/downside.
 
Frankly I think its a bunch of crap.  
Plenty of newsgroups don't give this approach much credit and note thatGann 
survived on the money from his family business not from trading. Or so I'm 
told.
 
How its proposed to turn all this intoan 
indicator I wait with interest - academic interest not serious trading 
interest.

I am trying to build an indicator that will 
generate a Gann square.  The horizontal levels are OK, but I cannot 
figure out how to draw vertical lines after calculating their 
values.  Does anyone know how this can be done.
