Gann Line

The Gann Line is similar to a stock indices trend line and to draw this stock indices trend line a stock indices trader must select 2 points and draw this line between these two point, just like the stock indices trend line the Gann line is also used to show the trend.

However, the Gann Line may require you to change some parameter so as to achieve the draw that you require.

How to Draw Gann Line on MetaTrader 4

Gann Fan

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

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

Example of Gann Fan on upward trend:
