Gann Fan
The Gann Fan is drawn between two points, this indicator will draw a set of stock trend lines, these stock trend lines are drawn at different angles, This Fan will draw the middle line at an angle of 45 degrees as long as stocks price is above this 45 degrees line then the momentum of the upward stock trend will continue as shown below. If stocks price moves below this line in an upward stock trend the upward stock trend momentum may be reducing.
The Gann Fan is also drawn for a downward stock trend and the same analysis applied to the downward direction.
