How to Draw Gann Line on MT5
Gann Fan
The Gann Fan is drawn between two points, this indicator will draw a set of gold 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 price is above this 45 degrees line then the momentum of the upward trend will continue as shown below. If xauusd price moves below this line in an upward gold trend the upward trend momentum may be reducing.
The Gann Fan is also drawn for a downward gold trend and the same analysis applied to the downward direction.
