Question on your Gann lines: There is a lot of confusion out there on how to properly construct a Gann 1x1, 2x1, etc line on the internet. For a 1x1, I have read everything from 1 tick/bar, 1 cent per degree of saturn, 1 cent per calendar day (pretty much any combo of ways to define price and time).
If you wouldn't mind, how do you define YOUR Gann lines, as you seem to have a better handle on his material than most.
The software I use plots so many points per day and offers 1x1,2x1,3x1 etc and 1x2,3x2 etc.You can plot either calendar days or trading days.the former will hace gaps on the charts for hols and w/e's.I understand Gann used both,most use trading days.As to scale, a 1 pt per day is not always appropriate due to hgh priced indexes compared to ganns day so eg for Ftse and Dow I use 10 points per day as my 1x1. Check out James Hyeczyk or Bill McLaren's books for more info http://ebookbrowse.com/james-hyerczyk-gann-theory-overview-pdf-d190066489 (I havent tried this link but I have his book)
I sometimes "box off" a major range and then construct mathematical angles based on that square.This is a good way to find the "natural" geometric angles that govern that particular stock
