William Delbert Gann (June 6, 1878 – June 18, 1955) or WD Gann, was a finance trader who developed the technical analysis methods like the Gann angles [1] [2] and the Master Charts, [3] [4] where the latter is a collective name for his various tools like the Spiral Chart (also called the Square of Nine), [5] [6] [7] the Hexagon Chart, [8] and the Circle of 360.
Gann watched for important tops and bottoms to form on a daily, weekly, or monthly chart and drew his angles from these changes in trend. When the trend is up and the price stays in the space above an ascending angle without breaking below it, the market is strong; when the trend is down and the price remains below a descending angle without breaking above it, the market is weak.
Then is called a pivotal quantity (or simply a pivot). Pivotal quantities are commonly used for normalization to allow data from different data sets to be compared. It is relatively easy to construct pivots for location and scale parameters: for the former we form differences so that location cancels, for the latter ratios so that scale cancels.
According to Pythagorean numerology, the names “W. D. Gann” and “Louise McWhirter” share the same numerological root of “9”. [ 21 ] [ 22 ] [ 23 ] It is possibly not a coincidence, since some people believe that Gann was an numerologist.
Power Pivot supports the use of expression languages to query the model and calculate advanced measures. Pivot tables or pivot charts may be used to explore the model once built. It is available as an add-in in Excel 2010, as a separate download for Excel 2013, and is included by default since Excel 2016.
Point and figure (P&F) is a charting technique used in technical analysis.Point and figure charting does not plot price against time as time-based charts do. Instead it plots price against changes in direction by plotting a column of Xs as the price rises and a column of Os as the price falls.
Gann Square of Nine is actually a pretty popular topic in the context of the stock market, and a good Wiki entry would be great. I am an advocate for keeping/improving the article. Cjthomas 23:56, May 23, 2005 (UTC)
An example Kagi chart. The Kagi chart (Japanese: かぎ足, romanized: kagiashi) is a chart used for tracking price movements and to make decisions on purchasing stock. It differs from traditional stock charts such as the Candlestick chart by being mostly independent of time. This feature aids in producing a chart that reduces random noise.
