If you do not make your own hand drawn trading charts, or do not have charts available, you can go to www.stockcharts.com and print out charts to work with.
These techniques can be used on any time frame.
A properly selected and drawn angle is a form of moving average, but unlike a moving average, it can project out into the future ahead of the price action on a chart.Drawing angles correctly and the proper use of the angles is crucial in successful technical trading. Using the correct degree angles is critical to successful trading.
The two angles I have found to be the most accurate and beneficial are the 45 degree and 22 1/2 degree. These are W D Gann angles known as the 1×1, and the 1×2. Using only these two angles combined with the Fibonacci retracement levels of .382, .50, and .618 produce excellent trading results.
W D Gann was a technical trader and perhaps the greatest trader of all time. W D Gann used geometry and mathematics as the basis for his incredibly successful trading. W D Gann used the geometric circle of 360 degrees and the 90 degree square as the core of his technical trading. The 1×1 angle which means 1 price segment x 1 time segment, equals a 90 degree square.
To divide this in half and get the balancing point, you draw an angle which is a 45 degree or 1×1 angle. The next W D Gann angle is the 1×2 or 22 1/2 degree. This angle is 1 price segment x 2 time segments, and half of the 45 degree angle. I run these two angles from major bottoms and tops on bar charts, and let the price action come to the angles for support and resistance. This combined with the Fibonacci retracements of .382, .50, and .618 when close to, or on the angles gives excellent trade signals for support and resistance.
