Building a Gann Square of 9 Price and Time Indicator

Summary

This article explains the Square of 9 as a spiral arrangement of numbers used to project possible price levels and time cycles. It describes the square’s construction, the role of angular and numerical relationships, and the use of price transformations and modular arithmetic. The method’s connection to astrology and its interpretation of market turns are presented as part of Gann theory, rather than as empirically established relationships.

The article outlines how to turn these concepts into a MetaTrader 5 indicator, including configurable starting values, price scaling, displayed levels, and chart graphics. It discusses generating price and time levels and organizing the indicator’s initialization, calculation, and cleanup. The supplied code is incomplete in the document, and it does not report trading tests or performance evidence. The author emphasizes that interpretation remains subjective, so the indicator is best understood as a visualization and experimentation tool rather than a validated forecasting method.

Key ideas

• The Square of 9 arranges numbers in a spiral and is used to derive candidate price and time levels.
• Gann’s method relates number positions and angles to possible market turning points.
• An indicator can automate the calculation and display of projected levels on a chart.
• The article provides no performance evidence, and interpretation of the levels remains subjective.
