Good to know you have the gann fan in it. my doubts are: 1.how can I define a fixed price bar x time ratio. for example, in metatrader I have the 1:1 chart possibility and variations of it. in Tradingview (that I use to trade IBOV and DI here at Brazil) you can define price/bar ratio and lock it, it is in basic settings at scale menu. 2. how can I measure the angles inside the chart too? why? because I use smaller angles based on % of main angles inside of it; gann said the most powerful was the square of ratios. So I need to find not only the 45degree for the main Gann Line, the 1x1, or 1.00 at the basic setup of yours, but i need to find the "octave" of it inside of it, for that to see the angles´´ degrees make it possible. That is my base setuo plus the square of nine - I´ve found yours square of nine and it is the best I´ve seen, easy and direct, really amazing! so to work witm gann fan the way I´ve learned from gann to michael jenkins books I do need a chart with a "squared", 1 to 1, 10 to 10, 25 to 25 (whatever since it is a "square" ratio between price and time and since Sierra Chart is new to me I am having trouble to find where to do it... My luck is that one trading app I used in brazil for a while, TRYD, is similar in basic concepts to sierra chart (maybe because it is based on Eclipsetrader Java app that is from USA too) so, sorry for not be capable of find it by myself, but as I understand W.D.Gann and Michael Jenkins books on Gann techniques, without a symmetrical price x time chart and a main 45degree angle for the 1x1 line of the gann fan it is not a useful tool. thanks in advance. (and pardon my bad english, since it is not my mother tong! :)

1. The Gann Fan has 3 different options for how you can define the ratio of the Price to Time. By setting this value, you can establish the definition of what your angles mean. You will find the information on these options here: Chart Drawing Tools: Common Tool Configuration Settings and Chart Drawing Properties for Gann Grid and Gann Fan 2. Depending on what option you use for #1 above, will determine how you set your angle. If you use the option for Value Increment Per Bar Set from Second Point, then you can use the Tools Value Window to determine the angle that is defined by the line that you are initially drawing. For information on how to display the Tools Value Window, refer to the following: Chart Drawing Tools: Tool Values Window For additional information on how to use the Gann Fan, refer to the following: Chart Drawing Tools: Gann Fan For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing

thanks, it is kind of amazing, since it does not change the position even if i change the scale! that is a huge problem with metatrader and tradingview. if I was a software I would make LOV (as Law Of Vibration from Gann :D) with sierrachart. amazing plataform! thanks! I´ll even see if there is a way to use it to trade forex and if possible even Brazilian stock market too!

Hi, I'm having the same issue. Which seems to be more about this price bar x ration he mentions in his 1st question than the Gann Fan itself. Simply put, I'm struggling to find the equivalent of the the tradingview setting I added as attachment here: Thanks in advance :) Date Time Of Last Edit: 2019-06-25 01:27:47

We do not know what that setting does exactly, so the only thing we can recommend is to try out the various options and see which works for what you want. Refer to these settings starting here: Chart Drawing Tools: Common Tool Configuration Settings and Chart Drawing Properties for Gann Grid and Gann Fan One other thought that may be what you are really asking - the Gann Fan is always locked relative to the both scales when it is drawn. It is not possible to unlock it. Therefore, once you have set the ratio you want using one of the three settings, that ratio is set for that Gann Fan, regardless of how you change the scales.
