I use TS2000i and draw some Gann angles on my charts BY HAND! With Rectangle
and Trend Line. I don't use the Gann tools unless I want to check something
fast.
There's more to Gann studies than TS is able to do. Even if you know what to
'draw' on your charts, with the graphic limitations that we already know
about, a Tradind system on EL will not help. The calculations you want to
see on yor charts can easily be translated on an Excel spreadsheet using
price and time as your inputs, than format cells with the relevant values
you want to see and pinpoint them on your charts on TS. Or, like I said, buy
a proper Gann trading software. I use Ganntrader and TS. Ganntrader gives me
a nice look forward into the future for reversals. TS shows me the right
time to enter/exit. In time I expect to let go of TS...

Luis,
Thanks for jumping in with your experience. I hope you can help me
see better what TS is failing to do.
When I set up a Gann Fan, with a setting of "Up right", 20.00 points
per bar anchored at the NDX low on 04/04/01 of 1348.52 and same
date/bar anchored at price 2771.63 (the 1/24/01 high) with 20.000
points per bar and "Down right", the 1x1 lines intersect at about
5/24/01. No matter how much I change bar spacing, or scaling, on the
chart the intersection remains at 5/24/01. My expectation has been
that if I replicate drawing the chart on paper as Gann did, then the
failure is my own misunderstanding of Gann, not the charting. I
thought I had solved the charting problem by getting the intersection
to remain fixed as the spacing and scaling changed. My remaining
problem would appear to be making sure that my 1x1's points per bar
was arrived at correctly for the asset I am following. You suggest
that I have another problem inherent in the charting display. I hope
it is limited to TS 4.0, but if it exists in 2000i, I need to figure
it out right away,
Fred
