How to Draw Gann Line on MetaTrader 4 XAUUSD Trading Platform


Gann Fan

The Gann Fan is drawn between two points, this indicator will draw a set of xauusd trend lines, these xauusd trend lines are drawn at different angles, This Fan will draw the middle line at an angle of 45 degrees as long as gold price is above this 45 degrees line then the momentum of the upward xauusd trend will continue as shown below. If gold price moves below this line in an upward xauusd trend the upward xauusd trend momentum may be reducing.



The Gann Fan is also drawn for a downward xauusd trend and the same analysis applied to the downward direction.
