Gann’s theory is all about predicting the prices with the help of a series of angles that are drawn over various price points.
We shall see with an example to explore the true meaning of the above statement. There are many technical indictors developed based on his theories but all have one thing in common - All uses geometric angles in charts representing both time and price.
Many argued he was a fraud who copied works of other “not-so-famous” people of that time like Fakir Chandra Dutta and others and marketed in a successful manner. And, most of his techniques are largely disproven.
• Gann Fan is an indicator that is based on the idea that the market is geometric and cyclical in nature. • It consists of a series of nine diagonal lines called Gann angles.

These Gann angles created by Gann fan are drawn over a price chart, designed to show different support and resistance levels of any financial instrument.
