Giving a bump to this thread.

We don't see much on Gann here. Does anyone have a suggestion, or know where to look?

For squaring in time, I'd use a bar count (which decides the width on the time axis), and make sure it "grows" in mutliples of (x to the power of 2 then 3 then 4), etc.

A good example is using 2 as your base, then drawing the square in time to include 4 bars (2^2), then grow it to 8 bars (2^3), then 16 (2^4), and so on. At any point you draw a diagonal from the bottom-right to the top-left it will be a 45-degree angle (even if it doesn't look like it when you shrink/expand your price and time axes.

I hope this is what you have in mind.

Thanks Samir, that technique helps a lot and is much appreciated An ongoing question is can you say what you use or recommend to actually make the charts? Is it a software progam which can be purchased? Thank You, David

Any would do, but personally I use NinjaTrader - it's free (unless you want to use it for placing orders) and very, very programmable.
