The Square of 9 is probably W.D. Gann's most famous Master Chart. Many traders use
" J5 P; A" T! c9 a: m. ithis chart regularly as a primary trading tool. However, it is my personal belief that most
5 z" Z X1 Q- W. N3 etraders are only using a few simple techniques and are not fully utilizing the true potential

What is the Square of 9 The Square of 9 is basically a spiral of numbers starting with the5 l( F! D" H8 h7 g
number one in the center (or apex of the Great Pyramid) with the number 2 immediately
1 Q3 {' t f' f+ fto the left. The rest of the numbers spiral around the center in a clockwise fashion to the

completes the 2nd cycle, 26 through 49 completes the 3rd , etc… This particular6 u6 X9 U( x w
arrangement of numbers creates a very unique square root relationship with other( R9 v. D: i9 ^
numbers on the chart. Michael S. Jenkins illustrates some interesting square root trading

we would get 565 which is directly below 664 or one full 360 degree cycle in towards& X! w! P( f; a+ b! ` S- K

coordinates that are conjunct (360 = +/- 2 from the root), opposition (180 = +/- 1 from

In Gann's Master Course for Stocks he said “ Within the circle forms the square, there is
1 ]* r* s& Q) s" ^2 @% G) dan inner circle and an inner square, as well as an outer square and an outer circle which2 p3 I4 R! T* t w5 N
prove the Fourth Dimension in working out price movements.” So far, we have covered* m7 P! Z; a3 p1 G
the inner circle ( The Earth's Orbit around the Sun) and the inner square ( Historic high &0 b; k! q7 d6 j8 M6 _4 z6 p
low coordinates on the square itself). The outer circle includes all of the planets and is the

clockwise in 30 degree sections of the circle will place all 12 zodiac symbols around the7 i1 I, f% @9 j) V" g9 N

planetary longitude relationships to price coordinates on the Square of 9, which is now an' A4 S- F# ?3 f: ?7 x* O
outer square. In this way, we can convert planetary positions to prices relating to degrees: e, u( L/ l7 P+ J
of a circle (Zodiac longitude) and also to coordinates on the Square of 9. We can also

we can also use a first trade chart ( Natal Chart ), i.e. horoscope (another inner circle) to

: Z5 B. i% W1 z" k w- ^& C& iillustrated this technique in his Soybean letter, which is well worth reading. I believe that0 `# V" Z2 h4 u, W& v# v
this is what Gann meant when he discussed “Natural Law”.
