As you know Gann always said history repeats, what happened in the past will happen again in the future.
Ivan Sargent in his book A unique approach to forecasting market reversal points, Halliker's 2010 uses the remnants of past time and price cycles to produce a grid which forms the basis of forecasting future points where price and time may meet and reversals may occur. Sargent acknowledges researching Gann, Bayer and Andrews methods in his early research; so, I thought it appropriate to apply his method to sizing Gann Squares. I have used the method to set the size and forecast periods of Gann Squares based on previous time and price cycles. It is really a cycles based variant of trying to find an appropriate vibration for a stock. So below are three charts explain the indicator then I will post the Bullscript code for the indicator. Because it is also linked to filtered wave sizing it can be complimentary to the earlier post using filtered waves to assess vibrations. Normally you would not show 24 past cycles and, in his book Sargent suggests 5 - 12 are sufficient for his method.  ------------- BC User since June 2007 |
