Question 1

What is the Gann Square of Nine?

Accepted Answer

The Gann Square of Nine is an educational geometric tool used by traders to project potential support and resistance price levels from a chosen pivot. Price is treated as if it sits on a spiral; equal angular steps (commonly 90°, 180°, or 360°) map to new prices above (resistance) and below (support). Levels are planning references, not automatic buy or sell signals.

Question 2

How do you calculate Square of Nine levels from a price?

Accepted Answer

A common form is level = (√price ± ring × degrees/360)². Adding to the square root projects resistance; subtracting projects support. One full turn (360°) advances the root by 1. For example, from price 100 at 360°, resistance level 1 is about 121 and support level 1 is about 81. Very low prices may yield fewer support steps because the math cannot go below zero.

Question 3

How do you square a price range into time?

Accepted Answer

Squaring the range uses a swing’s high and low as a day-count basis. The absolute difference (range) and often its square root become counts of calendar or trading days projected forward from a start date at 1×, 2×, 3×, and so on. Traders mark those windows for possible turns, breakouts, or exhaustion—not as guaranteed reversal dates.

Question 4

What is the difference between squaring the range and squaring the price?

Accepted Answer

Square the range uses high minus low from a swing. Square the price uses a single anchor price the same way. Range squaring fits clear swings; price squaring fits when one level matters more than a full swing. Both can use calendar days or trading days (weekends skipped; holidays not skipped).

Question 5

Is the Gann Levels calculator financial advice?

Accepted Answer

No. Gann Levels is an educational tool only—not financial advice, not trade recommendations, and not a prediction service. Markets involve risk of loss. Always confirm ideas with your own analysis, define invalidation, and size risk before acting.
