But there is a way to solve the problem. Figure 5.12 shows a series of boxes whose
$ P: j7 _1 `. j' t5 {, L$ E% Ocorners are connected, creating a cross within each box. Because there are fifty-two weeks: |% q0 y; `/ @+ _- i4 r% F
in a year, the weekly chart is using the square of fifty-two. But if you look closely at the price

divisions can be used and the angles within the original square of fifty-two still retained if

produce the same angled lines across the chart. When the internal corners are connected,0 k& f$ C/ g' @) {" R" ^, B! v$ k
the grid produces both positive and negative true geometric angles of 45º. Therefore, a0 Q8 X* T: O$ w6 m( I/ W3 @# g- [) y
simple solution is to draw the Gann boxes, establish a true 45º line, and then remove the
% `/ _6 F; e- r$ s1 s& r1 nboxes. The outside frame of each box is a fixed cycle. Gann would use the cycle formed by, P' K% }5 D9 D
the Gann boxes in several ways, including further subdivision of the square by thirds or+ k1 O: x( I) U& A# f4 s3 f
eighths. However, for this discussion we will not venture down that road. |
