hi
first thing
step one is
study and experiment
I got nothing to study. what to study?
what to study?
study the e book
pattern price time
where available?
over the net
PATTERN = ANY PATTERN LIKE DOUBLE TOP,DOUBLE BOTTOM etc
price = pure price
time= historic and future
GANN ANGLES GANN FANS,gann square all available as tools in amibroker
ARE THE STEP1 after you get the basic concept of Gann.
study =for period of 6 months
good luck

Description:
Produces automatic trend channels based on a SINGLE bar.
Formula:
cODER LAL SAYS
Here's a fix for the "endless loop..." problem reported by Embasy.
Replace the line:
"while(Next_Vertical < BarCount)"
with:
"while(Next_Vertical < BarCount AND SelectedValue(Vertical) > 1)"
(drop the quotes while copying!)
There are two occurences of the while loop. So make sure you replace both.

Name : Square of Nine - Roadmap Charts (Amibroker implementation)
Coded by : Lal
Date : 27th March 2008
Note : Grateful thanks to Peter Amaral of Tradingfives.com
To gain an understanding of how these roadmap channels
work, read the article here:
http://www.tradingfives.com/square-of-nine-in-excel.htm
Thanks also to wavemechanic for his inputs.
Used properly, on the basis of a SINGLE bar, Roadmap Charts
will produce channels that will pretty much define the overall
future trend that can last anything from days to months or beyond.
To use, select the bar that you suspect to be a possible high or low.
Decide whether you want a bearish or a bullish channel. Next choose
an appropriate "Factor" (try starting with a value of 1) and a
"Multiplier."
For tickers that are greater than 3 digits, you may try a Multiplier
value of 0.10 and those below 3 digits, a value of 10. Tickers with
with just 3 digits, leave the Multiplier at 1. However, there are no
absolute
rules here and experimentation is strongly encouraged.
The Horizontal lines are support/resistance lines while the vertical lines
are timing lines.
All the lines plotted by this script can extend beyond the last bar. So
make sure
you have enough blank bars in the right margin (set by Preferences).

TRY EXPERIMENTING WITH PARAMETER VALUES FACTOR=0.0625,MULTIPLIER =1, you find zones where price and time reach equilibrium.
The 45 degree line is separator between bullish and bearish zones.
