Analysis and Trading based on Envelopes, Waves, Cycles

the point of Fibonacci & GANN methods is to measure the past so you can know future S/R.
measuring the past only or Live wave/period is pointless.

Parisboy,

Thank you for your views on the Matrix. Must say, I agree.

Help setting time increment on MML indicator.

It's sometimes difficult to determine which increment to set the MML vertical time lines. They're always multiples of 8 and that cant be changed, but I've found it a bit difficult on occasion to determine the best setting to use.

They should be set to the rhythm of the market so I've started using my "Underlying Cycles" indicator to set the increment and to fine tune the position of the square in time.

link to indicator here - https://www.tradingview.com/script/k...erlying-Cycle/

Instructions:
The sine waves are extracted from underlying data using Fourier Transform.
You need to set a base cycle length to see the cycle. The indicator will detect the underlying cycle close to the base cycle length and display it on the chart.

These base cycle lengths are basically the rhythm of the market and rarely change, so I'll list them here.
Crypto = currently 89 days
Stocks = currently 55 days
Forex = currently 55 days

I then set the MML time spacing as close as possible to the base cycle length and then match the MML vertical lines to the lows of the cycle sine wave.

This makes determining the bar spacing much less ambiguous and also helps you fine tune your starting point for the square.

Note in the image that the time spacing for the MML is set to 88 - the base cycle length for crypto is 89
Also note that I've set the start point of the square so that the vertical time lines are in line with the lows of the sine wave, which also aligns with the price lows.

GANN period squaring




GANN NPL (Natural Price Levels) the original of MML are fixed levels they can't be squared with Time since the highs/lows will never align with Major levels

GANN NPL
USD pairs = dividing 1/2
JPY pairs = dividing 100/200
Gold = dividing 1000/2000
BTC = dividing 100000/200000

By aligning the time increments with the dominant cycle or rhythm of the market you can get good alignment of time with cycle lows as can be seen in the chart I posted above. These are however, much longer time periods than those proposed by Murrey, for example the square in this case is 88x8=704 days.
Interestingly 2 squares in time would match the 4 year cycle pretty well.

squaring is harmony, meaning price & time has to have the same starting point or angles will be shifted in the future to unnatural positions.

note: 88 704 are not GANN/Murrey numbers

when we are considering Time and Price nothing is "natural"

we are in both cases talking about REPRESENTATIONS of Time and Price.


For Price it does not exist in the nature.

Candlesticks and bars of any variety does not "naturally" exist. They are all man made.

Their Timing characteristics are also man made. TradingView offers a 3 minutes bar/candlestick chart possibility which is totally "artificial" and unnaturaL

Reminder (again) of How Gann divides Time

observe that the division of Time by Gann is mainly not "natural" but is just the consequence of succesive division by 2 of the year and once by 3

a 4 months / 17 1/3 weeks interval is not "natural"

a 1.5 months / 6.5 weeks / 45 days interval is not "natural"

an "approximately" 3 weeks / 22.5 days interval is not "natural"

Basically Gann applies the "Musical Octave " properties to Price because wlen Gann began to Trade, Price intervals were conventionally traded in 1/8 ths/

Then Gann got the idea to apply the same system to Time to have a "mathematical" (natural?) equivalence between Price and Time.

The "Squaring of Price and Time"

mixing GANN methods will lead to chaos and lose future harmony.

this is dividing price&time for the year equally (start/end high/low), called period squaring.




this is squaring price&time from a starting point, called 360 squaring.




each GANN method has it's own basic rules.
