Re: Gann Square

Interesting, simple, concise explanation - thank you for posting it.
Assuming that one has done the calculations, does one draw lines from the
origin e.g. 875 to the calculated points like a fan: e.g. 816.84, 760.67,
706.52, 654.36? Then does one look for turning points along the line or at
the plotted points? Does one limit these calculations to the most recent
pivot or do them for each pivot - most of the gann charts I've seen appear
to have lines drawn in all directions to all points giving the appearance
that a turning point could hardly miss?
