Ganntrader
By Peter A Pich

When I began studying W D Gann's methods back in 1978 I wanted a faster way tp create Gann style charts. I wrote Ganntrader 1 for my own use on an old Apple computer. Later I founded Gannsoft Publishing Company to make the program available to others.
Ganntrader is the only complete Gann program available. Other programs may include so called "Gann Angles" but they are often incorrectly drawn. The major Gann methods that you must learn are geometric angles, division of the range, squares of the high, low and range, Trend Line Indicator, Main Trend Indicator, Master Price & Time Chart (SQ of 9) and the natural squares of 52, 90, 120, 144 and 360. Also, the study of the Time Cycles and Angles is an important part of Gann's work and should not be overlooked. All of these capabilities and more are built into Ganntrader.
With the new Ganntrader, I have tried to include every aspect of Gann's methods that I have discovered. I have intentionally not included Elliot Wave, Golden Triangles, Numerology, Candlestock charts and othe rtechnical analysis techniques. You can be assured that the software is pure unadulterated Gann. My collection of Gann's material includes everything that has been published as well as some unpublished materials. If I can't find the method in Gann's own work I don't put it in the software. Gann's methods are classic and need no improvments.
What Gann's methods do need is some computerization to make them easier to learn and easier to use in your trading. The program was designed to allow you an easy way to test and verify each of Gann's techniques that he describes in his books. The master's techniques will never become part of your trading methods until you practice them and see for yourself how well they work. Ganntrader makes that easy!

- Quickly display the average of any group of cycles with single keystroke.
Batch Mode
Information such as the chart scale, value of the 1x1 and time cycle angles, setup of squares and angles, type of daily chart and printer grid pattern can be saved for future use the next time the file is loaded. The setup can be saved individually or as part of a group of setups in batch files. Each setup in the batch file can be scrolled to the screen by hitting the TAB key. The setup in the batch can also be sent to printer for hours of unattended printing.
Swing Charts
Display Gann's Main Trend Indicator for time swings or his Trend Line Indicator for price swings. The threshold for the time and price swings are user definable. A "Shade Swings" feature offers a quick visual display for over balance of price or time.
Master Price and Time Chart or Square of 9
Reproduces the price, time and trend ponits of the square of 9 on the screen or printer. Increment value for the square values is user defined.
