How to Draw Gann Line in MetaTrader 4

Gann Fan

The Gann Fan is drawn between two points, this indicator will draw a set of gold 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 upwards trend will continue as shown below. If xauusd price moves below this line in an upwards gold trend the upward trend momentum may be reducing.

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