Gann Tools Pro: the Square of 144, date alerts and planetary aspects
Gann Tools Pro adds the Square of 144 — placed by hand in two clicks, the way Gann used it — with its division dates and prices on the chart and alerts ahead of each date. New layers add seasonal dates and time-price squaring, a day count and fan from any pivot you click, and outer planets, heliocentric positions, aspects and retrogrades.
The Square of 144, placed by hand
Gann used the Square of 144 as a transparent overlay: the trader chose where to start it and how much price one unit is worth. Our first version tried to guess both automatically and too often guessed wrong, so since 7 November the square is placed by hand, as in the original method. Place square takes two clicks: the first anchors it on a top or bottom (it snaps to the nearest one), the second sets the price per unit and with it the direction. You can then type an exact price per unit, re-place the square or reset it.
The chart shows the division dates and prices, the centre, both diagonals, the angles and the end of the square, 144 bars along. When time runs out, the next square chains on from the end of the last. The panel shows the next division, its date and how many bars away it is.
Alerts on the dates
Alert on these dates in the panel sets a server-side alert for every remaining division and for the end of the square — one a day ahead (five bars ahead on intraday charts) and one on the date. They run on our server, so they arrive with the terminal closed, and appear in your alert list as Gann date.
New layers
- Seasonal dates — the Sun's 45° points: equinoxes, solstices and the midpoints between, at the exact astronomical moment.
- Time = price squaring — where the move in price equals the time elapsed.
- Day count and Fan from — click a pivot and the terminal marks 45, 90, 120 and more days (bars on intraday) from it, or draws a fan from it.
- Planetary — a new settings section adds Uranus, Neptune and Pluto, a heliocentric mode, aspects (conjunction, square, trine and opposition; off by default) and retrograde periods for Mercury, Venus and Mars. The planetary layer stays marked experimental.
Fixed in the audit
- The swing-reversal scanner rule fires on the bar that confirms the swing; cycles no longer drift across weekends on forex and metals.
- Fan hit rates are counted honestly, the Square of 9 wheel marks the market's cell again, and overlays read well in the light theme.
- Number fields accept decimals like 1.08, the remaining English strings are translated, and the tabs work from the keyboard.
Gann Tools Pro is a $25/month add-on, included in Premium and free for every signed-in account until 1 January 2027. Open it from Modules in the terminal.
