Bilson Gann Count

22 เม.ย.

Gann counting is a method for identifying swing points,trends, and overall market structure. It simplifies price action by drawing short trend lines that summarize moves.

There's essentially 4 types of bar/candle.

Up bar - Higher high and higher low than previous bar
Down bar - Lower high and lower low than previous bar
Inside bar - Lower high and higher low than previous bar
Outside bar - Higher high and lower low than previous bar

We use these determinations to decide how the trendline moves through the candles.

Up bars we join to the high, down bars we join to the low, inside bars are ignored.

There are other indicators that already exist which do this, the difference here is how we handle outside bars.

Other gann counting methods skip outside bars, this method determines how to handle the outside bar after the outside bar is broken.

examples
UP -> OUTSIDE -> UP = Outside bar treated as swing low
UP -> OUTSIDE -> DOWN = Outside bar treated as swing high
DOWN -> OUTSIDE -> UP = Outside bar treated as swing low
DOWN -> OUTSIDE -> DOWN = Outside bar treated as swing high
