connected world.
Gann went to India and
Egypt in early 1900s.
The Square of 9 is one of
his discoveries.

Triangles and Circles.

Actually called Spiral
Chart by Gann.
Square of 9 was a
9x9 grid.

wrong.

Gann often spoke of
the importance of
cycles.
The Circle of 360 is most important for time
cycles and price resistance
