All this discussion has made me go back and look at
the old Gann charts that I have from the early 1900s until 1949. The
X-axis was always one day, one week or one month per square. He did most
of his work on weekly and monthly charts from what I could find. He varied
the Y-scale in no specific pattern that I could decipher in the few minutes that
I looked at them. On some charts he used one point per square
on others 1/2 point per square and on still others 1/4 point per square.
The price didn't seem to make any difference. The majority of the weekly
and monthly charts used 1 point per square on the Y-Axis and the majority
of the daily charts used a 1/4 point per square on the vertical axis. All
the charts that I have are drawn on 8x8 graph paper. They are all
drawn by hand and a bar takes up the whole with of the square. It is
not marked on a line. The space on the X-axis is the time and
therefore the whole space is used. The closes seem to have less importance
the highs and the lows as they are not prominently marked. Now I have to
decide how much of this I want to revisit. One other thing.
Gann did tie his Square of Nine to specific calendar dates. Zero degrees
was March 21 and then he went to 45 degrees, 90 degrees, 135 degrees, 180
degrees, 225 degrees, 270 degrees and 315 degrees. I don't have the
specific dates for the other degrees. I remember that 45 was in May, 270
was in Dec. and 315 occurred in Feb. The astro buffs should be able to
locate the specific days keyed off of March 21.
