Figuring out Gann, PT I

in #bitcoin6 years ago

Gann is a mystery to me. I remember wanting to trade numbers based off of his work in college, but was very confused. Similiar to searching for a trading system based off of Pythagoras, Gann ran the range of the sacred to the esoteric. And he made a lot of money at it too.

Looking into Gann a bit today, I found the idea of Gann angles. The premise (from I can tell), is that you pick a high or a low, and draw a 45 degree angle from that point. The Gann angles then populate with any app/drawing program into different ratios/sector. One strategy from a high is :

a) buy once price closes above the 45% angle down from the high
b) sell once price closes below the 2:1 angle from the low subsequent to the high

Makes sense, yes? I don't know, but here are some buy examples today:

Bitcoin is above the 1:1 trendline from the most recent high; that is a buy and a sell would happen after prices drops below the upward 2:1 trendline

Ethereum is long, with a wait on a price drop below the 2:1 trendline.

EOS is long with a wait for a drop below the 2:1 trendline.

Monero is also long with a wait for a drop below the 2:1 trendline.

Gann is confusing to me, but I guess it makes sense. My hope is to track some of these ideas as I keep moving forward. Will it pay off? I have no idea. Good luck and good fortune to us all.
