Gann Fan
The Gann Fan is drawn between two points, this indicator will draw a set of indices trendlines, these trend lines are drawn at different angles, This Fan will draw the middle line at an angle of 45 degrees as long as stock indices trading price is above this 45 degrees line then the momentum of the upward trend will continue as shown below. If stock indices trading price moves below this line in an upwards indices trend the upward trend momentum may be reducing.
