But there is a way to solve the problem. Figure 5.12 shows a series of boxes whose
- r- q4 g0 c( j) |, Lcorners are connected, creating a cross within each box. Because there are fifty-two weeks/ f$ A$ p- o4 j0 m
in a year, the weekly chart is using the square of fifty-two. But if you look closely at the price
. X: b" q8 S; V8 l, a: T$ p; wscale, it is clear that one box does not cover a price range of $52. Multiples or proportional

only a single box were displayed mapping fifty-two weeks along the horizontal, versus $52& i5 P2 F, O: B0 r, ?
against the vertical. Although one large box is not useful, four boxes and sixteen boxes still; @3 ]8 t$ j+ e a
produce the same angled lines across the chart. When the internal corners are connected,9 S- X& n- {: I f0 f2 Q* ?! H
the grid produces both positive and negative true geometric angles of 45º. Therefore, a9 v; P7 t' E7 @& W
simple solution is to draw the Gann boxes, establish a true 45º line, and then remove the- u+ C6 R& j2 z E+ {3 P+ h; {4 P& j' }2 {
boxes. The outside frame of each box is a fixed cycle. Gann would use the cycle formed by6 ]$ _ t& Q% x% n% o' d2 M* J
the Gann boxes in several ways, including further subdivision of the square by thirds or
