Angles: Geometric angles are another important part of the Gann trading method. The markets are geometric in design and function, so it follows that they will follow geometric laws when charted. Gann insisted on the use of the proper scale for each market when charting, to maintain a harmonic relationship. He therefore chose a piece scale that was in agreement with a geometric design or formula.

He mainly relied on a 45-degree angle to divide a chart into important price and time zones. This angle is usually referred to as the “1×1” angle, because it represents one unit of price with one unit of time. He also used other proportional geometric angles to divide price and time. These angles are also known as 1×2 and 2×1 angles because they represent one unit of price with two units of time and two units of price with one unit of time, respectively.

All of the angles are important because they indicate support and resistance. They also have predictive value for future direction and price activity – all of which is necessary to know in order to forecast where the market can be in the future and when it is likely to be there.

DISCLAIMER: Forex (off-exchange foreign currency futures and options or FX) trading involves substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for every investor. The value of currencies may fluctuate and investors may lose all or more than their original investments. Risks also include, but are not limited to, the potential for changing political and/or economic conditions that may substantially affect the price and/or liquidity of a currency. The impact of seasonal and geopolitical events is already factored into market prices. Prices in the underlying cash or physical markets do not necessarily move in tandem with futures and options prices. The leveraged nature of FX trading means that any market movement will have an equally proportional effect on your deposited funds and such may work against you as well as for you.

Loss-limiting strategies such as stop loss orders may not be effective because market conditions may make it impossible to execute such orders. Likewise, strategies using combinations of positions such as "spread" or "straddle" trades may be just as risky as simple long and short positions.
