Original Gann Swing Chart Rules [AlgoFuego]🔵 Original Gann Swing Chart Rules
An advanced indicator built on W.D. Gann’s original rules, enhanced with innovative mechanical trend-following methods.
🔹 Description
This indicator functions by balancing short-term adaptability with long-term trend analysis.
The indicator incorporates Gann’s principles alongside mechanical trend-following techniques to offer a structured method for analyzing trends and detecting potential market reversals.
Golden Rule: Non-trend bars are excluded from analysis, and each new bar is compared with the previous trend bar, it highlights significant swing points with greater clarity.
🔸 The core concept behind the golden rule on which this indicator is built.
The person watching the tide coming, wanting to pinpoint the exact spot that signals the high tide, places a stick in the sand at the points where the incoming waves reach until the stick reaches a position where the waves no longer rise, and eventually recedes enough to show that the tide has shifted.
This method is effective for monitoring and identifying tides and floods in the stock market.
🔸Rule 1: The trend bar is everything.
→It is a bar that forms a new high, low, or both.
🔸Rule 2: The professional traders track new highs and lows.
🔸Rule 3: The hidden bar is nothing.
→It is a bar that does not form a new high, low, or both.
🔸Rule 4: The sea has a wavy nature, and the market as well.
🔸Rule 5: The slope is the immediate direction of the swing.
Downward slope
→The downslope is the descending slope of a swing, shows a decline, reflecting a bearish price trend.
Upward slope
→The upslope is the ascending slope of a swing, shows an incline, reflecting a bullish price trend.
🔸Rule 6: The start and end of the movement are the swing points.
→The lowest or highest price of the last bar in the direction of the slope represents the swing point after the slopes direction changes.
Valley
→It is the lowest price of the last bar in a downslope before the market turns to a upslope.
End=> Downward slope and Start=> Upward slope
Peak
→It is the highest price of the last bar in a upslope before the market turns to an downslope.
End=> Upward slope and Start=> Downward slope
🔸Rule 7: The Golden Rule: Ignore all no-trend bars and compare the new bar with the previous trend bar.
→Applying the golden rule in upward slope
→Applying the golden rule in downward slope
🔸 Related content: Personal words of W.D Gann from the book Wall Street Stock Selector.
→"This was only one month's reaction the same as March 1925. The market held in a dull narrow range for about 2 months while accumulation was taking place and in June the main trend turned up again."
→The beginning of the main trend and the formation of the Valley.
→The beginning of the main trend and the formation of the Peak.
🔸 Rule 8: The Closing Price of the Bar to Understand Movement Direction.
Sequence is important
→ Downward bar
→ Upward bar
🔸 Outside Bar Rules
→Explanation of rules and calculations.
🔸 How does a trend start?
Upward trend
Trend change from Downward to Upward.
Prices must take out the nearest 'Peak' and the Trend was previously Downward.
A breakout above the previous peak signals a bullish reversal.
→ Model 1 - Dropping Valley Reversal
The market forms a dropping valley, followed by a breakout above the previous peak.
→ Model 2 - Equal Valley Reversal
The market forms an equal valley, followed by a breakout above the previous peak.
→ Model 3 - Rising Valley Reversal
The market forms a rising valley, followed by a breakout above the previous peak.
Downward trend
Trend change from Upward to Downward.
Prices must take out the nearest ‘Valley' and the Trend was previously Upward.
A breakdown below the previous valley signals a bearish reversal.
→ Model 1 - Rising Peak Reversal
The market forms a rising peak, followed by a breakdown below the previous valley.
→ Model 2 - Equal Peak Reversal
The market forms an equal peak, followed by a breakdown below the previous valley.
→ Model 3 - Dropping Peak Reversal
The market forms a dropping peak, followed by a breakdown below the previous valley.
🔸 The fractal nature of markets
Rising wave
→ The rising wave is the entire bull market between turning points
High point : When the Main trend turns from upward to downward, the peak of the primary trend is formed.
Dropping wave
→ The Dropping wave is the entire bear market between turning points.
Low point : When the Main trend turns from downward to upward, the primary trend valley is formed.

Mathematical Formulation and Indicator Logic
Initial Setup and Inputs
The indicator starts by capturing user inputs for the anchor point—this can be a High, Low, Open, or Close price at a specified anchor time. These inputs determine the base price (P-base) from which all calculations are derived.
High if Anchor Type = "High"
Low if Anchor Type = "Low"
Open if Anchor Type = "Open"
Close if Anchor Type = "Close"
Angular Shifts and Projection Basis
The core of the "Anchored Square of 9" methodology involves calculating support and resistance levels through angular shifts applied to the Price-base (P-base).
The indicator enables a series of angular shifts, specified by the user, to project these levels dynamically.
Angular shifts are interpreted through the lens of Gann's theory, with each degree corresponding to a potential market turn or equilibrium point.
The script translates these angles into actionable projections using the square root of the anchor price, then applies the angular coefficients to find deviation points.
Angular Coefficients and Pi
In the context of the "Anchored Square of 9" indicator, angular shifts are crucial for projecting potential support and resistance levels. These shifts are quantified by angular coefficients derived from geometric principles, specifically leveraging the relationship between angles in degrees and their radian counterparts using π (Pi). Here's how angular coefficients are integrated:
Pi Reference for Angular Shifts: Given that 360° equates to 2π radians, angular coefficients (θ) for the indicator are calculated by translating degrees into a radian measure and then applying this measure to modify the square root of the base price (P-base).
Example of Angular Coefficients Shift:
A 180° shift corresponds to π radians. In the indicator's formula, this would translate to an angular coefficient of 1, since 180° = π in terms of π. Thus, applying this angular shift involves adding or subtracting 1 from the square root of P-base and then squaring the result to project a new price level.
Similarly, a 90° shift, equating to π/2, would have an angular coefficient equivalent to 0.5, reflecting its proportion of the circle (or square, in the context of Gann's geometry).
Implementation in Calculation of Deviations
Incorporating π into the formula for calculating deviations enriches the indicator's mathematical foundation, providing a direct link to geometric principles:
For each selected angular shift (θ), the script calculates positive and negative deviations from the square root of the anchor price. These deviations represent potential support and resistance levels.
P± = round (( sqrt root (P-base) ± θ)²)
Where:
P ± represents the calculated price levels for support (-) and resistance levels (+);
θ is the angular coefficient derived from the user-selected angular shifts;
sqrt root (P-base) is the square root of the base price;
round (⋅) ensures that the calculated levels are adjusted to the nearest tick size, maintaining relevance to actual trading scenarios.
Dynamic Projections and Visualization
The script generates lines and labels for these calculated levels, dynamically extending them as new market data becomes available. This feature ensures that traders have the most current and relevant information for decision-making.
For visualization:
Equilibrium Lines: Drawn at P-base to indicate the anchor or equilibrium point.
Support and Resistance Lines: Drawn at P- and P+, respectively, showing potential levels of market reaction

Labeling and Style Customization
The indicator provides extensive customization for the appearance of projection lines and labels. Traders can select the line style, color, and text information (levels, prices, or both) to be displayed, tailoring the visual output to their preferences and trading strategy.

Gann it self called this the “Trendline Indicator”, but modern traders call it Swing.
Gann’s primary use his techniques in correlation with this trading tool helping him achieve his phenomenal trading results.
Gann swings automatically displays the swing chart and trend on any timeframe you choose. There is option to set desired color and width of the trend line.
There is 3 types of settings to determine the swings, from 1 to 3 which represent the number of bars as confirmation for the swing bar. Default is 2.
There is labels on bars that gives information about each bar, is it up, down, inside or outside bar. This can be turned off/on.
🡱 - Up bar
🡳 - Down bar
⬍ - Outside bar
x - Inside bar
Indicator is also fully customizable to display break-out lines, which indicate potential trend changes ahead of time. There is option to choose whether you want to mark only first breaks in a row or you want all of them in case there is multiple ones in the same direction.
Gann swings is an indicator that EVERY trader and investor should have, it can provide vital information that can help to determine the trend of any market and information about the upswings and downswings.
Everyone enjoy trading !
P.S.:
I have in my mind some additional features as upgrade that can include data about each swing, like data for tops/bottoms date, time, price, range in % between swings, and bar count of each swing that is formed on the chart.
Gann Intraday Retracement Levels, by PVSharmaOne of the greatest technical analyst the world has seen, was The Legendary William Delbert Gann. He had simple, creative principles based on astronomical computations. Although he wasn't an intraday trader, his theories produced outcomes that are just as impressive as delivery trading.
On the basis of his approach, I have created an indicator based on intraday trades that offers high profits at extremely brief stop-losses.
This indicator has been well evaluated, and I can declare with confidence that its excellent performance are based on "buy at dip and sell on peak" principle. Although this indicator has been tested, it does not perform well enough in some instruments, such as Forex, some cryptocurrencies, and a few international commodities.
Please take note that this indicator is excellent for speculating on NSE indexes and is applicable to practically all NSE instruments (apart from Forex). I'm also working on several errors, that I plan to remedy and present to you in the near future
