Gann Grid

A technical analysis tool developed by W. D. Gann based on his belief that the 45-degree line represents a sustainable trend. The Grid consists of multiple lines drawn at 45 degrees. Prices above a rising 45-degree line signify an upward direction in the market. Possible acceleration may find resistance at a higher 45-degree line. Similarly, prices trading below the rising line warn for a potential reversal to the downside with potential support at the lower 45-degree line. The same holds for the descending lines. When prices are below the 45-degree line, it signifies a downward direction. Declining prices may find support at a lower 45-degree line. Also, prices trading above the descending line signal possible reversal to the upside with a potential resistance at a higher 45-degree line.
Gator Oscillator
A technical analysis oscillator developed by Dr. Bill Williams to gauge the different phases of the market. It consists of two histograms with green and red bars. The bars above the zero line represent the difference between the Alligator’s Teeth and Jaw. The bars below the zero line represent the difference between the Alligator’s Lips and Teeth. A green bar signifies that the bar’s value exceeds the value of the previous bar. On the other hand, a red bar indicates that the bar’s value is less than the previous bar’s value. The Alligator may be in four different states: Sleeping, Awakening, Eating or Feeling Full. When both bars are red the Alligator sleeps, while two green bars indicate that the Alligator eats. One red bar, and the other green after sleeping signify that the Alligator is awakening. Lastly, the Alligator feels full when one of the bars is red after eating.

Genetic Algorithm
A method of optimizing the parameters of a trading strategy. The concept was inspired by Charles Darwin's theory of natural evolution. The genetic algorithm continues to use positive contributions and stops using negative contributions in the search for the optimal solution. The advantage is less time for a more optimal solution to the problem; in this case, it’s the best parameter set of a trading strategy.

Gann Fan
A technical analysis tool Developed by W. D. Gann to study the price charts. He believed that when prices rise or decline at a 45o angle, then price and time are in balance, signifying a sustainable trend. The corresponding line is also known as 1x1. It is read as “one by one” meaning one unit of price by one unit of time. Steeper lines with corresponding greater angles above the 1x1 line are considered steeper and not sustainable. These act as resistance when the price accelerates above the 1x1 line. These lines are: Price x Time Degrees 1 x 8 82,5 1 x 4 75 1 x 3 71,25 1 x 2 63,75 Similarly, four slower lines below the 1x1 act as support: Price x Time Degrees 1 x 1 45 2 x 1 26,25 3 x 1 18,75 4 x 1 15 8 x 1 7,5 Gann considered the 1 x 1 line as the most important for the trend. The Gann fan tool is available on NAGA Trader.

Gann Line
A technical analysis tool developed by W. D. Gann. It consists of a 45-degree line. Prices above the ascending 45-degree line suggest an upward direction of prices. Prices below an ascending 45-degree line suggest a potential change in the direction of prices. Similarly, prices below a descending 45-degree line suggest a downward direction for the market. Prices above a descending 45-degree line suggest a potential reversal to the upside.

Gap
A gap occurs when no price action is present between two candlesticks. It is represented by an unfilled blank space on the chart and it happens when the low price of the current candle is higher than the high price of the previous candle, or when the high of the current candle is lower than the previous candle's low price.
