How to Draw Gann Line in MT4

Gann Fan

The Gann Fan is drawn between two points, this indicator will draw a set of trendlines, these trend-lines are drawn at different angles, This Fan will draw the middle line at an angle of 45 degrees as long as price is above this 45 degrees line then the momentum of the upward trend will continue as shown & illustrated below. If price moves below this line in an upwards trend the upward trend momentum may be reducing.

The Gann Fan is also drawn for a downwards trend & the same analysis applied to the downward direction.
