 But, Why Pyramid?

It is said that Gann got the idea of

this method while traveling in Egypt.
Imagine Looking at the Pyramid from the
upside!
In the left side image, look at the number in
the center. Can you see the number 1?

The Gann Square of 9 starts with a number in

the center and then grows outward in a spiral
shape. It's like a pyramid that gets wider with
each layer.

So, the number in the center which is 1 is the

apex of the pyramid and it is growing away
outward from the base in a spiral shape.
It is a no-brainer that because of the spiral
pattern, it is also called as Gann Wheel
Strategy!
