Market Geometry

 

Introduction

Time / Price Square is one of the mysterious techniques used by W. D. Gann. According to Gann, there is a mathematical relationship between time and price. Using the time to price conversion factor, the price can be converted into time cycle, which projects the market reversal date in the future.

There is three types time / price square:

¡P          Square of High Price

¡P          Square of Low Price

¡P          Square of Price Range

 

Time / Price Conversion

The algorithms of the time to price conversion are as follows:

Daily Chart

If chart low > 10000, P/t scale = 100

If chart low > 1000 and chart low <= 10000, P/t scale = 10

If chart low > 100 and chart low <= 1000, P/t scale = 1

If chart low > 10 and chart low <= 100, P/t scale = 0.1

If chart low > 1 and chart low <= 10, P/t scale = 0.01

If chart low > 0.1 and chart low <= 1, P/t scale = 0.001

Weekly Chart

If chart low > 10000, P/t scale = 100

If chart low > 1000 and chart low <= 10000, P/t scale = 100

If chart low > 100 and chart low <= 1000, P/t scale = 10

If chart low > 10 and chart low <= 100, P/t scale = 1

If chart low > 1 and chart low <= 10, p/t scale = 0.1

If chart low > 0.1 and chart low <= 1, p/t scale = 0.01

Monthly Chart

If chart low > 10000, p/t scale = 100

If chart low > 1000 and chart low <= 10000, p/t scale = 100

If chart low > 100 and chart low <= 1000, p/t scale = 10

If chart low > 10 and chart low <= 100, p/t scale = 1

If chart low > 1 and chart low <= 10, p/t scale = 0.1

If chart low > 0.1 and chart low <= 1, p/t scale = 0.01

 

High Price to Time

The conversion of market high price into time cycle follows the formula below:

T = H*CF

Where T is the time cycle projected from the market high, H is the price of the market high and CF is the conversion factor.

If the chart is a weekly chart, the time cycle would be in the unit of week. Following the same line of thought, if the chart is a monthly chart, the time cycle would be in the unit of month.

On the chart, pink time line would appear after clicking [High Price to Time]. The multiple time lines represent the multiples of the time cycle.

 

Low Price to Time

The conversion of market low price into time cycle follows the formula below:

T = L*CF

Where T is the time cycle projected from the market low, L is the price of the market low and CF is the conversion factor.

If the chart is a weekly chart, the time cycle would be in the unit of week. If the chart is a monthly chart, the time cycle would be in the unit of month.

On the chart, pink time line would appear after clicking [Low Price to Time]. The time lines represent the multiples of the time cycle calculated.

 

Range to Time

The conversion of market price Range into time cycle follows the formula below:

T = PR * CF

Where T is the time cycle projected from either market high or market low, which depends on user's selection of [From high] or [From Low]. PR is the high to low price range on the chart and CF is the conversion factor.

If the chart is a weekly chart, the time cycle would be in the unit of week. If the chart is a monthly chart, the time cycle would be in the unit of month.

After selection, pink time line would appear on the chart. The time lines represent the multiples of the time cycle calculated.

According to the theory of Gann, market reversals may happen near these time cycle lines.

 

Square of High and Square of Low

The functions of Square of High and Square of Low combine the following techniques of Gann:

w  Gann Price Cycle

w  Price Time Square

w  Gann Angles

Each of the techniques has been discussed earlier in this manual.

 

Square of Low

The followings are calculated by the function of Square of Low:

The low price on the chart would be multiplied from 1 to 8. That means the price levels of the multiples will be shown on the chart to show the support and resistance of the market.

Low price would be multiplied by the Time / Price Conversion Factor in order to get the duration of the time cycle. The market reversal date may be projected by adding the time cycle to the date of the low price on the chart. The time lines appeared are the multiples of the time cycle.

Upward Gann Angles are also drawn on the chart to show the squaring of price and time cycle when they are in parity at the 1 x 1 Gann line (Shown in red).

Reversal forces may appear at the centre of the square, the top right-hand corner of the square and the conjunction of time and price lines.

 

Square of High

The followings are calculated by the function of Square of High:

The high price on the chart would be divided by 3 and by 8. That means the price levels of the divisions will be shown on the chart to show the support and resistance of the market.

High price would be multiplied by the Time / Price Conversion Factor in order to get the duration of the time cycle. The market reversal date may be projected by adding the time cycle to the date of the high price on the chart. The time lines appeared are the multiples of the time cycle.

Downward Gann Angles are also drawn on the chart to show the squaring of price and time cycle when they are in parity at the 1 x 1 Gann line (Shown in red).

 

Reversal forces may appear at the centre of the square as well as the conjunctions of price and time lines.
