Gann Fan
The Gann Fan is plotted between two points, this indicator will draw a set of trend lines, these trend lines are drawn at different angles, This Fan will draw the middle line at an angle of 45 degrees as long as cfds price is above this 45 degrees line then the momentum of the upward trend will continue as shown below. If price moves below this line in an up-wards trend the upward trend momentum may be reducing.
The Gann Fan is also plotted for a down-wards trend and same analysis applied to the downward direction.
