what do gann angles tell you 
according to gann the ideal balance between time and price is 45 degrees in total there are nine different gann angles for identifying trends and market actions when one of these angles is broken the price is expected to move to the next angle according to gann the most important angle is a line representing one unit of price for one unit of time now widely regarded as the 1 1 sometimes denoted as 1x1 and is the 45 angle in this instance the value of a commodity or stock which conforms to a 1 1 angle is said to increase by one point per day or price bar in reality a trader can fix the ratio to whatever they want as long as they remain consistent with the s p 500 at 3 000 one point a day is a minuscule movement so instead the trader could fix the ratio at 10 points per day or 30 and that would be the 1 1 alternatively open a chart draw an angle at 45 degrees on that chart then overlay the gann angles with 1 1 aligning with the 45 degree angle
