of course this is after the fact...
but the ability to see this, I think, is possible and will take years and years just to be good enough at it. In other words It's impossible to master

Hello MSMarple,
Like your charts. I am sure Gann had concepts that worked well for him. Wondering about the squaring...if you use 90 days (one quarter) on the time axis, how can traders standardize the scale on the y-axis (price) to ensure a square as you have, as the vertical squaring distance may be different depending on the scales used, maybe even screen sizes etc. Just wondering...

this is one of the basic requirements for the visual representation of price and time. You can search for terms like " proper scaling of charts ". There are some platforms that are rather poor in that aspect like Mt4, other platforms such as Ensign, Tradenavigator ( Genesis ) or Neoticker provide such tools.
I really don`t want to get in to this too much per way of citing links etc., that would maybe look as if I had any commercial interest ( which I do not have at all ).
For me the proper scaling of charts and fixing is important, as it is necessary if you look at eg one currency pair on multiple timeframes and want to keep the proper angles etc in place.
Hope this helps a bit.
( BTW this is a chart from a good trader friend, I have various blogs and the forum at stockcharts subscribed, for exchange of specific topics and it is from there. I just posted it because it was so " classic textbook ". After some thought I think I will not do that anymore, it could cause misunderstanding. )

example Dow Jones daily : having seen the center line, the square in advance, would I be able to act on that ( e.g. sell Dow call options, or sell audusd ) ?
Much to learn here, really great quality.

this is a daily chart and you chose 90 trading days as the time (base for the square). Please help me under stand how this period is selected in relation to other T/F.
For exmple, if was a one hour chart or a 5 minutes chart, how would we have determined the period to use as the base for the square?

[/quote]Dear pathumracled,
You would have to have some knowledge about the concept of Gann`s Square of Nine to understand that.
I don´t use a fixed set of squaring numbers, as the base I use the basic bar count ( fib numbers, mostly from 1-8 ), which means I count the very first impulse move and square from that move, extrapolating. This is a kind of momentum or velocity base, I can try to explain in later charts next week. And at the moment I strongly feel that it is a bit off topic, as there are other great traders here like forktrader, xtsunami, kapital and many others who have much more to say. I am just learning here and trying to understand.
All the best to you.

[/quote]Thanks msmarple,
the application of the square (Gann Square??) looks interesting so I wondered. Will do some reading around the topic and see if it answers my Q's.
