Preface
Introduction
H) Overnight trading
Dear Reader,
The first impulse of a movement defines the frame of the height and the depth of the
price action as well as the duration of a future trend. From out the first initial impulse,
the majority of the trend setters define not only the further zones of support and
resistance but also the dynamic space zones, all the important turning points as well
as the duration and length of the future price movements.
GUNNER24 indicates the possible points and switches where the actual price data can
go to. Those tendencies can be followed by your trading without any reservation.
You simply see where the market wants to go and you recognize the moment and the
finishing line when and where the market turns into a different direction.
You will get the feeling for short term highs and lows and you will recognize
immediately the last high and low of the actual movement. And then, emotionally you
will be prepared to react the appropriate way, contrary to the market.
We trade the GUNNER24 Forecasting Method every day we are in the markets. It has
made us money and saved us money. If you want to know how we trade, which rules
we follow and how we use the GUNNER24, then read this eBook and study the trades
and rules carefully. That doctrine is reflected in this eBook.
You have to do some work. That is the nature of learning and gaining experience and
the only way to increase our trading performance permanently.
All concepts and details pertaining to GUNNER24 Trade Entries are explained on the
basis of the KEEP IT SIMPLE principle.
We use simple language, communicate clearly over charts and focus on the real and
very practical constraints every trader faces in today's markets.
Yours

Innovator and Founder GUNNER24
The trading setups will hold up over time, in any kind of market. You will learn
everything you need to know about the GUNNER24 Trading Setups step-by-step.
You will be supported in it by concrete real-life examples with many charts.
What this eBook is not designed to do is to teach you the critical knowledge you need
to forecast and analyze the markets with the GUNNER24 Forecasting Technique.
This course covers the complete start to finish approach to trading and forecasting,
from the definition of the initial impulse, the facts behind it's function, the complete
trading rules to the most advanced GUNNER24 Applications. The materials in this
course are all you will ever need if you plan to trade the market's and make a living
doing so.
In an effort to stay focused, this eBook will not discuss the basics of trading, or
technical analysis, or any other such rudimentary, basic endeavors. It also has no
separate chapter to the topic of defining risk, money management and controlling
your emotions. If you are familiar with these trading issues you will see that the
GUNNER24 Trading approach offers a very disciplined, low-risk approach to trading.
So it is focused on the real and practical trading with the GUNNER24 Forecasting
Technique.
Introduction
The future schedule of the price data is defined by the first initial impulse. In 85% of
all cases, this latter spans 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13 or 21 etc. time units.
That is the well-known Fibonacci sequence. You see each following figure is the sum of
the two previous ones.
In the very majority of the cases, the GUNNER24 Impulse Move stretches from the
extreme point of the 1st candle to the extreme point of the 5th candle, for instance.
So, with the GUNNER24 Up Setup we use to measure the following way:
- from the absolute low of the 1st candle to the absolute high of the 1st candle.
- from the absolute low of the 1st candle to the absolute high of the 2nd candle.
- from the absolute low of the 1st candle to the absolute high of the 3rd candle.
- from the absolute low of the 1st candle to the absolute high of the 5th candle.
- from the absolute low of the 1st candle to the absolute high of the 8th candle.
etc.
- from the absolute high of the 1st candle to the absolute low of the 1st candle.
- from the absolute high of the 1st candle to the absolute low of the 2nd candle.
- from the absolute high of the 1st candle to the absolute low of the 3rd candle.
- from the absolute high of the 1st candle to the absolute low of the 5th candle.
- from the absolute high of the 1st candle to the absolute low of the 8th candle.
etc.
It is not difficult to identify the authentic Initial Impulse. In the everyday practice
while analyzing all those different markets and time frames, the GUNNER24 Initial
Impulse happens to such an extend that you may ask yourself why you have paid no
or little attention to the Fibonacci sequence. Many, many swings last exactly one
number out of the Fibonacci sequence or end in the very close environment of a
Fibonacci number.
During the real trader life, in about 70 per cent of all cases you will be able to apply
the "pure" GUNNER24 Initial Impulse from the absolute high/low or vice versa
respectively, just like shown above.
The GUNNER24 Initial Impulse just exceptionally (about a 15%) goes over the real
starting low or starting high respectively to the final low/final high of a market swing.
Only if the majority of the investors enter immediately at the extreme point, the
GUNNER24 Initial Impulse starts with the absolute high or low of the swing.
The GUNNER24 Initial Impulse can be counted therefore over 15 (close enough to 13
candles) or just 4 candles (close enough to 3 or 5 candles).
If then the GUNNER24 Setup traces and forecasts the effective price action because of
the emerging time lines and supports and retracements of the arc and double arcs....
why not!
GUNNER24 Up: You take an upswing, which for instance lasts 10 candles and count
back 8 candles from the highest high candle in order to define the starting point of the
impulse move at its low.
A downswing lasts for instance 16 candles, so you define the lowest low at the 16th
candle, count back 13 candles from that 16th candle, including that 16th candle and
you get the GUNNER24 Starting Point.
I would like to show you some variation possibilities which happen very often within
the everyday practice. But it is rather a matter of exceptions to which you should not
pay attention while intraday or day trading.
In case of long term investment decisions you should thoroughly consider and even
apply the following variation possibilities since in the weekly or monthly chart thus
some relevant displacements in price and time arise.
All the variation possibilities of the initial impulse shown in the light of the
GUNNER24 Down Setup:
Instead of going to the absolute low of the 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13 etc. candle, from the
absolute high of the 1st candle the initial impulse takes a course only to the beginning
of the candle body which is situated above the absolute low of those candles.
Instead of beginning at the absolute high of the 1st candle, the initial impulse begins
at the candle body which is situated under the absolute high and ends at the absolute
low of the 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13 etc. candle.
Instead of beginning at the absolute high of the 1st candle, the initial impulse begins
at the candle body which is situated under the absolute high and ends at the
beginning of the candle body of the 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13 etc. candle which is situated
above the absolute low of those candles.
Like always, your finding the decision how to apply the GUNNER24 Initial
Impulse is backed by a hit rate which is as high as possible in the passed
turning points at the time lines and price contacts to the square lines as well
as the pricing at the arc and at the double arcs.
The more precise turning points you hit dragging within the important time lines (right
and left limit as well as the square center). And the more corresponding points you
find at the double arcs, the more precisely you will be able to depict the future price
development.
With help of a GUNNER24 Up Setup I would like to show you some examples of fine
tuning variations which are most important for our setup while intraday and day
trading and which you should pay attention to if you are trading leveraged financial
instruments.
GUNNER24 Trading Setup Examples www.GUNNER24.com - 11 -
Since it is a real nuisance to miss the exact GUNNER24 price target by some tenths of
a point just because of laziness and inattentiveness which could have been avoided by
constant examination and fine tuning of the setup.
Above all, the rebound conduct of the price at the blue arc and the retracements at
the Gann Angles or all the reactions which the price performs at all the lines of the 1st
square, respectively, help you to find exactly the true GUNNER 24 Initial Impulse.
Any conspicuousness you notice there assures the existence of a correlation of price
and time at that point and that a change in price and time has taken place.
The initial impulse goes from the absolute low of the 1st candle through the wick of the
5th candle and is defined by the absolute high of the 6th candle.
The initial impulse goes from the absolute low of the 1st candle through the wick of the
4th candle and is defined by the absolute high of the 5th candle.
The initial impulse goes from the absolute low of the 1st candle through the wick of the
3rd and 4th candles and is defined by the absolute high of the 8th candle.
The initial impulse goes from the absolute low of the 1st candle through the absolute
high of the 7th candle and is defined by the absolute high of the 8th candle.
You cannot recognize in advance that fine tuning variation or others, of course, nor
you can when the setup is developing. But it is worth while working with it if the price
within the 1st square is in its consolidation stage after the initial impulse or even in the
2nd passed square and if our trade depends on the possible price targets.
Those fine tuning variations are, as mentioned, important examples which shall give
you suggestions about the possible fine tuning in the GUNNER24 Initial Impulse.
During the everyday application of the GUNNER24 Forecasting Method you will be able
to get to know many more fine tuning possibilities.
An Initial Impulse which is set too high or to low by just one millimeter, frequently
influence our trading decisions. By that millimeter the chosen GUNNER24 Setup
naturally is shifted in price and time. The entire assembly would not fit as it would be
shifted in price and time. Double arcs and square lines etc. produce wrong signals
which inevitably provoke losses.
So take time for the identification and final fixing of the Initial Impulse and pay
attention to the following ways of counting and lines of thought which may occur and
are possible in the fixing of a GUNNER24 Impulse Move.
As follows, the Gold Continuous Contract Monthly Chart and then the Weekly Chart
will be observed and analysed intensely. Our objective shall be to determine whether
in the further course the gold is to rise or fall and, above all, which investment
decisions will be to be taken.
We can see since 1999 gold is on an upwards trend. Gold shows a series of higher
swing lows. Furthermore, after a significant low at the end of 2008, actually gold is
consolidating. So gold should rise in the further course following the old rule:
Consolidations at the high break to the upside.
We have to consider the environment of the red encircled important lows and highs for
the decision where to set the actual GUNNER24 Initial Impulse.
GUNNER24 Trading Setup Examples www.GUNNER24.com - 13 -
If at first we look at the absolute low in 1999 and apply there a GUNNER24 Up Setup
we will see that the price follows the double arcs, absolutely corresponding to the
rules, just the 5th double arc is rapidly broken without a retracement.
Otherwise noticeable is the fact that the price is always under the 1*1 Gann Angle
which normally would be a bearish sign which advise that setup is not quite valid,
above all if we consider the easiness of that break of the 2nd to the 5th double arc.
We might apply now another GUNNER24 Up Setup after the low 2001 (The initial
impulse lasts 5 candles and is marked with the little green squares that would be
where to apply it), but I prefer to concentrate upon the last low before the 5th double
arc since in that environment is the starting point for our "important" GUNNER24 Up
Setup. At least, that initial impulse was strong enough to really pulverize the
important 5th double arc.
That setup fits marvellously. Important exact concurrences where the price precisely
follows and meets the square lines, the Gann Angles and the double arcs are marked
with the little green squares.
The price is above the important 1*1 Gann Angle = bullish. The price consolidates
closely below the 2nd double arc which offers few resistance.
Once in march, 2008, it spiked off, formed there the starting point for the GUNNER24
Down Setup which then developed and tested back the 1st double arc.
Further we see that the price closed once within the 2nd double arc. Certainly tight but
corresponding to the rules, the 3rd double arc and with it the main target in trend
direction are being reached.
In the surroundings of the starting point of the initial impulse, we find an 8 Candle
GUNNER24 Up Setup. That setup is most consistent, as well. Follow the little green
squares!
The price lasts above the 1*1 Gann Angle = bullish. The price consolidates below the
4th double arc which offers few resistance.
Once in March, 2008, it spiked off and formed there the starting point for the
GUNNER24 Down Setup which then developed. Further we see that the price closed
once within the 4th double arc. Certainly tight, but corresponding to the rules, the 5th
double arc in trend direction is being reached.
From my point of view, that setup is less valid than the first, yet, because the
important 3rd double arc was broken without much resistance, then re-broken and re-
conquered afterwards. A completely untypical price performance as to the
environment of the 3rd double arc.
Up to now, both GUNNER24 Up Setups implicate indisputably rising prices for the
future. For the sake of completeness and confirmation, now we apply the GUNNER24
Down Setup at the so far absolute high and try to find something to quibble about.
We keep at the back of our minds that the March to October 2008 swing was a matter
of a minor correction during the upwards trend. Gold however has considerable
difficulties to break the upper Gann Angle (1*2), and within the last months
rebounded from it three times.
In all the horizontal GUNNER24 Square Lines and the Gann Angles, the rule of 3 and
the rule of 4 generally have a great importance. Mostly after a break in the 3rd or 4th
attempt some big moves follow.
The relatively long lasting duration of the initial impulse attracts attention. Considering
the monthly chart, five candles give a sign of strong swings. Besides, from candle 2 to
5 we observe higher highs always.
Further, we discovered the actually valid Gann Angle and anchored it at an important
square crossing point. All those circumstances hint a soon and strong continuation of
the trend which should persist until the steeper Gann Angle breaks.
Those who have not invested yet on monthly base wait for the break of the blue
double arc and the break of the horizontal square line of the first square.
Thus we state that the March to October 2008 swing was a matter of a rather easy
correction during the upwards trend. A normal correction would have ended at the 3rd
double arc.
The upwards trend which has lasted since 1999 should continue.
The outbreak out of the 2nd double arc took place in July, 2009 and the back test of
that double arc at its upper double arc line occurred in August, 2009. Strong buy with
first main target at 1035-1055 followed at the end of October, 2009.
The attentive student has not failed to notice that the main targets out of the two first
GUNNER24 Up Setup on monthly base have not slipped in. But both widely congrue
with the first and the second double arcs out of the actual, third valid GUNNER24 Up
Setup. Check that!
In summery, after considering all the actually valid GUNNER24 Up Setups we can
record that all of them announce a continuation of the long lasting uptrend. Those
who have not invested on monthly base yet, may do so without any reservation since
gold on weekly base is on strong buy.
Please print the following GUNNER24 Trading Rules, guidelines, recommendations and
always have them handy. Especially at the start when you begin to trade following the
GUNNER24 Forecasting Method, their internalization is easiest.
Take your plenty of time and study the following rules carefully, because all the
following explanations and trading setup examples since Chapter C base on those
rules. You will have to internalize those rules to work successfully with the GUNNER24
Forecasting Method.
1. For the hard core trader who wants to lance many, many trades a day it is enough
to trade or to scalp, respectively on minute basis in the 1, 5 and 15 minutes setup.
For the swing trader it is advisable and important to know the daily and the weekly
situation in order to find then the right entranced moment for the trade on the 4 hour
or 1 hour level.
2. Whenever you create a new GUNNER24 Setup you will have to place the stop loss
for the trade at the first starting point. There work always with the reverse and double
technique.
3. The entire price forecast is fixed on the one hand by the price margin and on the
other hand by the time period of the first initial impulse. In an 85% of all cases that
lasts 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13 or 21 etc. time units. Just exceptionally the GUNNER24 Initial
Impulse may be set at the absolute low to the absolute high or close to one of those
Fibonacci numbers.
4. The GUNNER24 demonstrates the best results and market correspondences on the
assumption that there is a significant initial impulse with at least 3 candles. Impulses
of 1 or 2 long candles point to the possibility the GUNNER24 Setup might end already
at the 1st double arc or not later than at the 2nd double arc, respectively, and there
might be installed an opposite GUNNER24 Setup.
5. Fixing the initial impulse taking as an example the GUNNER24 Up Setup: Consider
the significant low environment. Count the candles, now, from the absolute low to the
first significant high.
Two examples: You count 15 candles after which usually follows the formation of a
higher high and a higher low. Thus you may assume that the first impulse encloses 13
candles altogether. Now, count back 13 candles from the candle with the last
significant high. The candle with the significant high is the candle number 1.
If you count in all 13 candles towards the significant low, now the 13th candle will be
the one with 2 candles of distance to the significant low. That is the candle where the
initial impulse had started.
6. If you are not aware about the beginning of the actual GUNNER24 Setup, look for
the last absolutely highest high or the absolutely lowest low of the time frame and
settle there the corresponding initial impulse with the according up and down setup.
In the now emerging GUNNER24 Setup, the price will frequently turn at or in the
surroundings of the 3rd or the 5th double arc. Erase the old setup and install the new
setup there, at the turning point.
Go on doing so until you get to the last actual starting point of the actual GUNNER24
Initial Impulse.
7. The more and the more frequently you realize the following items at the setup the
more secure you can be that the price will follow the actual GUNNER24 Setup:
The price follows exactly the double arcs, at least one time.
The price turns if the temporal influence of the double arcs expires.
The price frequently rebounds exactly at the support and resistance zones and
lines of the square lines and zones.
The price changes the direction precisely at the important time lines and marks
the striking highs and lows, there.
8. When the price passes through the 3rd or the 4th square install the elliptical
GUNNER24 Setup at the initial impulse.
By drawing the setup to the right and by the fine adjustment upwards or downwards
you can fix better the past price action and in almost all the cases you can depict even
more precisely the past turning points at the important time lines or the price action
at the double arcs, respectively.
You may install a parallel setup in the same time frame if you recognize that the price
rebounds at a double arc at least temporally and at the same time it has developed an
initial impulse or wants to develop an initial impulse. Generally speaking, two opposite
GUNNER24 Setups in the same time frame always make sense because our trading
security increases.
10. One of the most important tips working with the GUNNER24: You have got to
know which GUNNER24 Setup in which time frame actually gives the note.
Example: In the 1 hour setup, there is a GUNNER24 Down and in the 15 minute time
frame, there is a GUNNER24 Up. Then it should be clear to you always trade towards
the superior setup that is in our case wait for the short in the 15 minute GUNNER24
Setup.
Since always the GUNNER24 Setup in the upper time frame rules and settles the main
trend.
11. If the 1st starting point of the GUNNER24 Setup is reached in the future price
action the original setup will not be valid any more. If the stop setting was correct
the stop is being activated.
12.1. At the end of the influence of the 3rd or 5th double arc of the previous
GUNNER24 Down Setup you go long and cover the position later on considering
the Fibonacci numbers.
12.2. In the following consolidation, the blue arc as well as the upper line of the
square is sometimes tested after the consolidation phase and a 2nd high is formed, a
little higher than the first. In an 80 per cent of all the cases that is not the final
breakout of the 1st square but a fake high. The moment is often between the 2nd and
the 3rd time line.
If you realize that the arc and the upper limit of the 1st square is rapidly broken
through upwards you may put a short trade exactly upon the upper line of the 1st
square since that fake high returns quickly and the price will break through the blue
arc of the 1st square, as well in the further course.
There at the blue arc you may put another short. Set the stop loss for both trades
on the fake high. You should cover the short/shorts not later than at the 5th time line
that is the important center.
And in that environment you should look for the long entry towards the original
GUNNER24 Up, again.
The original GUNNER24 Up Setup remains valid if the price falls under that Gann
Angle (1*2) but comes back because it rebounds for instance at the 1*4 or 1*8 Angle
(not visible in the GUNNER24 Setups).
12.4. If the 1*1, 1*2, 1*4 or 1*8 Gann Angles are reached at the retracement you
will have to try to find your reentry towards the main trend. Best you work here with
the candle reversal technique.
The retracements to the Gann Angles are totally normal reactions to the main trend.
Here, the well-known Fibonacci Retracements at a 50% and a 61.8% are very good
help to manage the reentry again. Place the stop loss on the last recognizable low
in the 1st square.
12.5. The more aggressive traders count the candles when they enter towards the
original GUNNER24 Setup. Here, again 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13 etc. candles with lower highs
and lower lows can be expected until the price turns exactly at or around a Gann
Angle. You have to place the stop loss on the low of the 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13 etc. low
candle.
12.6. If in the 1st square the blue arc is broken on the final price basis so act
towards the GUNNER24 Setup. And place the stop loss on the last recognizable low
st
in the 1 square.
12.7. Another long signal arises for you if the upper line of the 1st square was
broken based on the final price basis. The first price target is the 1st red double arc.
That target possibly is not reached at the first attempt, frequently the upper line of
the 1st square is tested again, now it does not form any resistance any more but it has
become a support line.
That is where you may raise long again with the candle reversal technique or with
any other reversal signal technique you are familiar with, for instance indicator
divergences, crossovers of the Stochastic or MACD. Here you place the stop loss on
the last recognizable low in the 1st square.
13. Trading action in the 1st square at the GUNNER24 Down Setup
13.1 At the end of the influence of the 3rd or 5th double arc of the previous setup you
take the sell and afterwards cover the position under consideration of the
Fibonacci series.
13.2. In the following price consolidation period, the blue arc as well as the lower line
of the 1st square are tested within the bottom building and sometimes a 2nd low is
formed which is a little lower.
Normally that fake low returns fast, cuts back through the lower limit line of the 1st
square and then recaptures also the blue arc of the 1st square.
You may put another long at the blue arc. Place the stop loss for both trades on the
fake low. You should cover both long trades at about the 5th time line that is the
important center of the square. And in that environment you should look for the
next short trade towards the original GUNNER24 Down again.
13.3. Now the price could correct to the upper Gann Angle (1*2). There you may
act towards the original GUNNER24 Setup again.
If the price rises over the 1*2 Gann Angle but returns because of rebounding for
instance at the 1*4 or 1*8 Angle (not visible in the GUNNER24 Setups) so the original
GUNNER24 Down Setup remains valid.
13.4. If the 1*1, 1*2, 1*4 or 1*8 Gann Angles in the 1st square are reached at the
retracement you will have to try to find the optimal short trade. Here, too, work with
the candle reversal technique.
Retracements back to the Gann Angles are quite normal reactions to the main trend.
Please watch again the Fibonacci Retracements at a 50% and a 61.8% or 76.4%, for
the optimal short entry.
13.5. For a more aggressive short entry you may choose the following variation:
Count the candles for the entrance towards the original GUNNER24 Down Setup.
Here again 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13 etc. series with higher highs and higher lows can be
expected until the price turns downwards again at or around a Gann Angle. Here, too,
please work with a narrow stop loss. You have to place the stop loss on the high of
the 3rd, 5th, 8th, 13th etc. high candle.
13.6. If the blue arc is broken on a final price basis act towards the GUNNER24
Setup. Set the stop loss on the high of the last high candle before the break of the
blue arc.
13.7. Another short signal arises if the lower horizontal line of the 1st square is
broken on the final price basis. The price target is initially the 1st green double arc.
That target sometimes is not reached in the first attempt. Often before that the
horizontal line of the 1st square is back-tested again, now it does not form a support
any more but it is a resistance line.
There, you may go short again with the candle reversal technique or with any other
reliable reversal signal technique you are familiar with, for instance the indicator
divergences, crossovers of the Stochastic or MACD.
Place the stop loss on the last recognizable high within the 1st square.
14.1. The further development in price and time depends to a great degree on the
conduct of the price action while reaching or approaching the double arcs. If the price
of a stock or a contract you are observing approaches a double arc you always have to
pay attention. The double arcs are the expected price targets of the original
GUNNER24 Setup.
You should assume that the chosen setup comes to an end there because the first
initial impulse either takes a break or finally exhausts.
The double arcs are very strong price and time magnets which determine whether the
trend accelerates or ends there at the double arc to turn after that.
14.2. If the price rebounds immediately at the 1st line of a double arc that is a
rather safe sign for you to be able to join trading that rebound successfully. Those
spikes (candles with a long wick) usually indicate a trend change.
In the following second attack to the double arc often a lower high or a higher low is
formed. At that confirmation of the change in trend you may trade towards the new
trend.
You will have to continue installing a new opposite GUNNER24 Setup in order to
measure the new trend in terms of its duration and its price targets with it.
14.3. If a double arc is broken towards the original GUNNER24 Setup go with the
trend! The price is likely to reach the next higher double arc (GUNNER24 Up) or the
next lower double arc (GUNNER24 Down). The main trend will in the majority of cases
continue.
14.4. You should always observe exactly the price reactions at the 1st double arc.
Since you happen to install the GUNNER24 Initial Impulse in the opposite direction to
a strong main trend.
If the monthly weekly GUNNER24 Setup goes strongly and constantly into one
direction, the opposite initial impulse, for instance in the daily GUNNER24 Up, happens
not to result very strong. It is probably too weak to break the 1st double arc.
If that 1st double arc is not broken on the final price basis, so pretty soon you should
assume that the whole GUNNER24 Setup fails. Yet if the 1st double arc is broken on
final price basis, so the 2nd, and later on the 3rd, 4th, or 5th double arc should/could be
reached.
14.5. If a double arc is broken on final price basis towards the setup and if then the
price goes on moving towards the main trend and if the price does not reach the next
following double arc but turns before and recaptures that first broken double arc, that
is to be interpreted as a vehement break of the original GUNNER24 Setup. The main
trend has mostly changed.
You should always join trading that situation because the recapture of the double
arcs usually results in very quick and lucrative trades. That kind of vehement
recapture of the first broken double arcs occurs frequently in the 3rd, 5th, 8th, 11th or
13th square where the prices pass through.
At the same time they are always our main targets of the entire GUNNER24 Setup.
Go short if a new opposite GUNNER24 is supposed to come. You place the stop at
the last extreme point and work here with the reverse and double technique.
15. The temporal sphere of influence which a double arc exerts on the price may last
very long.
You may put short scalp trades whenever the price retraces a line of the double
arc. Use the candle reversal technique. It is not at all untypical that the price works its
way along the double arc and that should be observed at least twice in each
GUNNER24 Setup. All the same, as a precaution you should always apply the reverse
and double technique and if necessary switch the position, the arc can be broken at
any time.
It is always fascinating again to observe the price reaction when it passes through the
time frame between both lines of the double arc. That area always exerts a strong
influence on the prices. Those quotations which were strolling before all of a sudden
rise fast or fall rapidly as soon as they are in the time frame between the two lines of
the double arc. Of course, it is optimal for us if we expect there a price high or a low,
and that is exactly what happens.
Around that area of influence, and shortly in front of it or shortly behind it you will
ALWAYS have to get ready for a change in trend and be able to join trading the
trend.
16.1. All the time lines of the GUNNER24 Setup indicate that price and time are in
concordance and a change in price may happen there if the price is located on a time
line. The most important time lines at the squares with the strongest force of
attraction are the left and the right limits and the square center.
When you discover that the price always turns exactly on the time lines you may
join trading those little moves, especially in the 1 or 5 minute chart. If there is no
reversal in price and if the time line is not noted by the market then the trend usually
accelerates and should keep its direction at least until the next time line.
16.2. Counting the Fibonacci numbers we can assure that the time lines serve their
purpose and object. Counting the movement from one extreme point to the other is
always helpful because the highs and the lows come after 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13 etc. time
units on account of the cyclicality. It does not matter whether it is week, day, hour or
minute counting.
17. Trading action at the trend lines of the GUNNER24 Squares and the
Gann Angles
17.1. All the lines of all 25 GUNNER24 Squares as well as the Gann Angles are at first
important resistance and support lines. They are treated like trend lines. You can
apply here all the trading rules you use to apply to the conventional trend lines.
Very frequently the price happens to reach the broken Gann Angle again at the
pullbacks and shakeouts and to work its way along or sway around testing it again in
a certain way. But then the angle works as a resistance line which is virtually never
recaptured durably.
17.2. Whenever the price reaches one of the lines in the GUNNER24 Squares and a
Gann Angle time and price are in an important mathematic context. In such cases,
always a strong tendency for a turn emerges. If the turn does not happen, but the
lines and angles are broken there is a strong tendency for a trend continuation.
17.3. With all the horizontal GUNNER24 Square Lines and the Gann Angles, the rule
of three and the rule of four rate very highly. Usually some vehement moves follow
after the break at the 3rd or 4th attempt.
17.4. Over the entire GUNNER24 Setup the crossing of the 1*1 Gann Angle has a
special importance.
Especially strong signals emerge during the recapture of that angle: If the price for
instance at the GUNNER24 Up Setup falls through the 1*1 Angle and then in the
further price action rebounds upwards and breaks again through the 1*1 Angle from
below to above, that always points to the resumption of the GUNNER24 Up Setup. The
uptrend even tightens, usually.
18. Trading action at the horizontal trend lines of the GUNNER24 Squares
It is typical at the horizontal lines of the GUNNER24 Squares that before a break
mostly a short little opposite movement begins, often as a triple move (ABC correction
waves).
If a horizontal line in the GUNNER24 Setup is broken on final price basis you can be
almost sure that there will be a try to reach the next horizontal line towards the trend.
Often it is reached, then but rarely broken in the first attempt because the price is
stopped or delayed by the double arcs which are located in front of the horizontal
square lines.
The whole game continues towards the main trend until a double arc finally
initiates a change in trend and a change of the setup with it. That usually happens at
the 3rd or the 5th double arc.
A special importance is given to those bottoms and tops where the next horizontal line
of the square is not reached completely because they are stopped by the double arcs
which are located in front of them. That is always a sign where a strong trend into the
other direction is developing.
One support zone (green), one resistance zone (red) and two dynamic zones (gray).
They are considered as to be dynamic because they react in a different way depending
on the setup (up or down) and on the direction where the price is penetrating from.
Sometimes, they accelerate the trend sometimes they are impenetrable when the
price collides at once with their limit lines. Now, the price is allowed to penetrate more
frequently and then, the zones accumulate forces to make the price rebound even
faster into the opposite direction.
For us, that means excellent trading signals again in the red and green zones
because according to the GUNNER24 Setup they always form strong resistance areas
and good support areas which can be traded successfully. When the price passes
through the gray acceleration fields that happens pretty fast which for us results in
the majority of cases in quick, profitable trades.
20. Classic chart formations near the horizontal and diagonal lines in the GUNNER24
Setup and at the double arcs as well as the Gann Angles are always a warning for a
strong movement which will follow. After strong movements mostly little Wedges,
Flags or Megaphones appear which indicate a continuation or a change in trend.
21. With the GUNNER24 Setup, the signals of the indicators you apply are improved
considerably. The indicator signals which may appear at an important GUNNER24
Turning Point are usually correct. Together with the GUNNER24 you can apply well
with Bollinger Bands, Stochastic and RSI divergences as well as Stochastic and MACD
crossovers.
22. During the announcement of important economic figures or other volatile times or
during long term trends, all the GUNNER24 Traders should do a volte-face towards the
higher time frames such as the 1 or 4 hour chart.
In total crash situations like in October, 2008 you have to change into the daily or
weekly chart in order to detect the turning point in the corresponding time lines. In
case of a crash nothing else but higher time frames and their time lines as well as the
corresponding support and resistance zones and lines of the GUNNER24 keep ruling.
23. Lost motion If the current candle does breaks through the high or low of the
most recent above average lost motion candle at the final price basis of the current
horizontal or diagonal line, arc or double arc, you will have to presume that an actual
breakage has occurred.
24. Work with the targets in the respective setup. The targets are the double arcs or
the horizontal lines of the superior squares. Always drag behind your stop sensibly
when a double arc or a horizontal square line was broken towards the original setup.
25. Smaller retracements to the main trend normally last between 2 and 2.5 time
lines. From one time line to the other equals one time unit. Afterwards, you should be
prepared for the resumption of the trend. If the retracement lasts longer than 2 to 2.5
time lines the price normally is in the influence zone of a double arc.
Situation: UNG (United States Natural Gas Fund) NYSE, is down 13 months within
only a very small retracement. This very rare monthly situation indicates a big upturn.
After having analyzed the situation at the outset in the monthly chart we shall decide
on the 4 hour chart basis whether, when and at what price a UNG investment is worth
while. For that purpose we have to find out where to apply the 4 hour GUNNER24
Setup.
But also: if the first impulse is 4, 6, 7, 9, 10 etc. time units, there is something wrong
with the market and a failure is probably underway
1. The GUNNER24 Down shows a 10 candle GUNNER24 Initial Impuls with a head
fake low candle (13th month) touching the horizontal line of the 1st square. This
implies at least a rebound to the marked Gann Angles area. The 13th candle is
the first low and we will see the last low at candle 14-21 but only marginally
lower.
2. We have an first initial impuls which spans 13 candles. The first GUNNER24
Target is the first green double arc. After a rebound the final price targets would
be in the minus area. This is hard to believe... ;-))
3. We have seen the final low because the initial impuls lasts 10 time units.
To fine tune the forecast we use the primary chart for swing trading the markets. The
4 hour chart.
That is perfect. The change in trend happens at the 5th double arc at the higher low.
Exactly at the meeting point of the 5th double arc, of an important time line and at a
diagonal and a horizontal square line. Additionally the first low happens in the passed
11th square.
You recognize again that the double arcs are very strong price and time magnets. This
is an example where the temporal influence zones of the double arcs are starting the
rebound.
The initial impulse is only 3 candles it is not untypically for big trend changes
that the rebound starts very slowly. After a retracement UNG could reach the
5th double arc.
The first impulse projects precisely the further price development the changes in
trend at a given price and at a given time.
In this chapter, I would like to show you the way you find the actual GUNNER24 Initial
Impulse very quickly. Finally you will see the trades which result from the setup if you
can join the trade from the beginning.
Please take into account that we consider only one time frame, here. Trading then,
you should ALWAYS work with at least two combined time frames to get double
security in your investments and trades.
The GUNNER24 Forecasting Method provides a trading system with a 70 per cent hit
accuracy. If you get accustomed to work with at least two time frames and to consider
the different setups within both time frames sticking to the trading rules, the hit rate
will escalate steeply!!
Trading always depends on decisions: Buy, sell or wait. The actual GUNNER24 Setup
shows precisely which decisions you have to take since the setup demonstrates the
market stage. Is it about to rise, to fall or to continue going on sideways.
The determination of the Initial Impulse is what daily trading is all about. The more
frequently you look for it, discover it and apply the GUNNER24 Setup, the more your
dealing with the GUNNER24 Forecasting Method will become a matter of routine.
In all the exact concurrences where the price precisely follows and meets the square
lines, the Gann Angles and the double arcs are marked with the little green squares.
1. Enter the GUNNER24 Up Setup with one position at the reversal candle. Place the
stop loss for the trade at the first starting point. There work always with the reverse
and double technique.
2. After an objective Gann Angle retracement execute the 2nd buy position at the
closing price of the correspondingly candle.
3. 3rd buy is the blue arc break. Place the new stop loss on the last recognizable low in
the 1st square.
5. 5th Buy: The break of the 1st double arc. Targets are for now the 2nd, 3rd and the 5th
double arc. Place the new stop loss for the trade at horizontal line of the first square.
6. We do not cover the positions at the 2nd double arc because we have a close within
the 2nd double arc. The 3rd double arc will be reached! Place the new stop loss for the
trade at the 5th buy.
7. 6th Buy: Significant break of the 2nd double arc. Targets are for now the 3rd and the
5th double arc. Place the new stop loss for the trade at the upper horizontal line of the
3rd passed square.
8. Cover all the longs at the first main target, the 3rd double arc. The fact that the
price precisely at the main target meets the 2*1 Gann Angle points to a reversal.
2. The current hour candle (marked in black) in this new 1 Candle GUNNER24 Up
Setup is reaching the blue arc and might be stopped by it and by the red downwards
trend line and by the upper horizontal line of the 1st square.
3. For those reasons, please have another look at the previous chart on page 53
with the original 3 Candle GUNNER24 Up Setup.
Thus, the second main target of the original 3 Candle GUNNER24 Up Setup which is
the 5th double arc would be activated. We know the only question is when the break of
the 3rd double arc towards the trend will happen because after all three candles within
and one candle just above the 3rd double arc have closed already!
ONLY after activating that main target in the original 3 Candle GUNNER24 Up and on
condition that the new 1 Candle GUNNER24 Up Setup provides a new buy signal we
can be sure that in the new 1 Candle GUNNER24 Up, too, the price will break out of
the 1st square upwards and thus it should get going to its first main target (1005).
So let's go on observing our 1 Candle Up Setup beside the significant break of the 3rd
double arc of the original 3 Candle GUNNER24 Up and inside prepare for the following
possible buys:
4. Buy one position at the significant break of the 1st double arc.
5. Buy one position at the significant break of the 2nd double arc.
Rule 4. The GUNNER24 demonstrates the best results and market correspondences
on the assumption that there is a significant initial impulse with at least 3 candles.
Impulses of 1 or 2 long candles point to the possibility the GUNNER24 Setup might
end already at the 1st double arc or not later than at the 2nd double arc, respectively,
and there might be installed an opposite GUNNER24 Setup.
If we keep to those rules, and we should always keep to them, before the possible
buys always happens the hedging of the position or the profit maximization. Because
of ifs, buts and yets, nobody has become rich but most investors and traders thus
became poor.
So we cover our buy because A) the 3rd double arc of the original 3 Candle GUNNER24
Up always form a big hurdle which at first has to be cleared. B) certainly we have
found a promising new 1 Candle GUNNER24 Up but there at first we have to wait for a
little retracement to one of the Gann Angles in order to enter the market cheaper.
On the other hand frequently you do not find the very first entrance into the setup
because you cannot recognize any reversal candle but actually you just see an
inconspicuous candle which turns out to be an initial impulse not before the
subsequent analysis.
In our example we could join the market that quickly just because in the GUNNER24
Down Setup we had recognized the rebound from the 2nd double arc following the
trading rule 14.4.
The retracements to the Gann Angles are totally normal reactions to the main trend.
Here, the well-known Fibonacci Retracements at a 50% and a 61.8% are very good
help to manage the reentry again. Place the stop loss on the last recognizable low
in the 1st square.
So, here the Fibonacci Retracements at a 50% and a 61.8% are a very good help to
manage the reentry.
Here again 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13 etc. series with higher highs and higher lows can be
expected until the price turns downwards again at or around a Gann Angle. Here, too,
please work with a narrow stop loss. You have to place the stop loss on the high of
the 3rd, 5th, 8th, 13th etc. high candle.
The uncertainty whether the market opens close to the yesterday final price or with an
opening gap gives many protagonists a reason to act as day traders. The day traders
use to be afraid of the risk to hold a position over night because they do not know
whether that position opens with a gap against them, the next day.
At the same time, the market opening and the first 60 trading minutes are considered
to be the most important moments of a trading day. Many traders spend hours before
the market opening in front of their trading screen and try to find out with help of
analysis and pre-market watch whether the day today opens with a gap up or gap
down or neutral.
Innumerable statisticians argue over the question if the gaps have to be filled the
same day ore later or not at all. Well, the GUNNER24 Forecasting Method doesn't care
about the so far ruling literature. The development of the future prices originates in
the past pricing.
GUNNER24 Trading Setup Examples www.GUNNER24.com - 61 -
For our trading with the GUNNER24 Forecasting Method, the knowledge that far more
than a 50 % of all the gaps are closed the same day is enough. So we can
assume that at more than a 50% the yesterday closing price is going to be reached
again and in that environment the direction of the original gap is going to be got
started.
If the opening price as well as the target price correspond with our GUNNER24 Setup
with our GUNNER24 Gap Trading Strategy we will have at our disposal a technique
which produces for us far more than a 90% of winners.
That is why in the surroundings of the green mark we are expecting a new GUNNER24
Up.
In the following second attack to the double arc often a lower high or a higher low is
formed. At that confirmation of the change in trend you may trade towards the new
trend.
In an uptrend where a series of rising swing lows is present the trend change happens
after the highest candle in the uptrend. You go short if the candle body of that highest
high candle of the uptrend is broken on final price basis. The absolute high of the
uptrend is your stop.
You may put short scalp trades whenever the price retraces a line of the double
arc. Use the candle reversal technique. It is not at all untypical that the price works its
way along the double arc and that should be observed at least twice in each
GUNNER24 Setup. All the same, as a precaution you should always apply the reverse
and double technique and if necessary switch the position, the arc can be broken at
any time.
You will have to continue installing a new opposite GUNNER24 Setup in order to
measure the new trend in terms of its duration and its price targets with it.
In this chart, at the 2nd candle after the highest high candle we can place a 5 Candle
GUNNER24 Down and realize the swing low ends exactly at the 2nd double arc of the
GUNNER24 Down. Combined with our approaching GUNNER24 Up Setup that is an
ideal moment for covering the short(s) and turn the position two winner trades a
day which are 100% secure that chicken lays really BIG golden eggs!

G) Trading with multiple time frames
We all invest for the same reason: to make money. And in order to make money
investing, we need to know two key things: when to buy and when to sell. "Buy Low
Sell High", is supposed to be the oldest truism, but to reach that goal is also the
greatest challenge to us.
To reach that outstanding goal, this approach which in the last years has gained
increasingly more friends is helpful: The technical analysis on the basis of multiple
time frames.
Unfortunately the nature fit us but with a so to speak two dimensional thinking device.
For most people it is difficult enough to carry out a quite normal technical analysis in
one time frame to carry out the same analysis with several time frames, to combine
them and then execute the right trades with the right timing certainly takes a 3D
brain which is available for only a few chosen people, I am afraid.
While trading with the GUNNER24 Forecasting Method you don't have to concentrate
on indicators/oscillators/Elliott waves etc. and combine them.
Just combine the GUNNER24 Setups in the different time frames and wait until each
time frame at the same moment supplies you with the profitable trading signal.
In the following example the two most important general GUNNER24 Trading Rules
will be examined:
Rule 9. You should use the original setup until the squares expire in the time track or
until you can start a new GUNNER24 Setup at one of the double arcs.
You may install a parallel setup in the same time frame if you recognize that the price
rebounds at a double arc at least temporally and at the same time it has developed an
initial impulse or wants to develop an initial impulse. Generally speaking, two opposite
GUNNER24 Setups in the same time frame always make sense because our trading
security increases.
Rule 10. One of the most important tips working with the GUNNER24: You have got
to know which GUNNER24 Setup in which time frame actually gives the note.
Example: In the 1 hour setup, there is a GUNNER24 Down and in the 15 minute time
frame, there is a GUNNER24 Up. Then it should be clear to you always trade towards
the superior setup that is in our case wait for the short in the 15 minute GUNNER24
Setup.
Since always the GUNNER24 Setup in the upper time frame rules and settles the main
trend.
The situation: We have got an 8 Candle GUNNER24 Up Setup. If we lead along the
vector below the low of the 8th candle an extremely valid setup results. Pay attention
to the green marks! The market is above the 1*1 Gann Angle = bullish. The actual
candle perhaps wants to break the steeper 2*1 Gann Angle.
The price is in an acceleration zone where we can expect quick price moves and it is
close in front of the diagonal line of the actual square where we are expecting a
counter reaction to the last falling prices because we see that the first main target (3rd
double arc) hasn't been reached yet which we anyway assume since the uptrend is
very strong and lasting long.
ES # is retracing the last upwards move following the 4th double arc. It's in the middle
of a 3 Candle GUNNER24 Down that started at the swing high. Breaking the 3rd double
arc the market activated its second main target (5th double arc). The actual candle is
precisely on the important time line where we can still expect a high or low of the
swing. Our goal must be to buy into the market as cheaply as possible.
For the sake of completeness, here again you will find all the trades which happened
in this time frame. In this chart, I have not taken into consideration the adjusting of
the stop loss which we should always execute.
GUNNER24 Trading Setup Examples www.GUNNER24.com - 69 -
Another note on covering. In the chart above, I sketched both possibilities: 1.
Whenever price touches double arc you will cover. 2. You wait for the first reversal
candle.
Both options have advantages and disadvantages depending on the trading style and
the dominating emotions as well as the account volume and on which position size
you are trading.
Personally, I don't wait for the reversal candle (which you know can absorb a lot of the
profit) but I always cover shortly before the double arc since after all, in the great
majority of the cases each double arc releases a retracement reaction or like here at
the 3rd double arc (main target) for reasons of price/time the cover candle does not
reach the double arc precisely.
In addition, that technique gives me time to observe the reactions at the double arc in
order to detect a possible opposite GUNNER24 Setup in the further course which
basically is much more economic than to hit the very last tick in the original setup.
GUNNER24 Trading Setup Examples www.GUNNER24.com - 70 -
In the original setup we find a 2 Candle GUNNER24 Up Setup. We put both setups
above each other and realize that both double arcs are forming a strong resistance.
"You may install a parallel setup in the same time frame if you recognize that the price
rebounds at a double arc at least temporally and at the same time it has developed an
initial impulse or wants to develop an initial impulse. Generally speaking, two opposite
GUNNER24 Setups in the same time frame always make sense because our trading
security increases.",
I would like to show you the here from resulting trades of the opposite 3 Candle
GUNNER24 Down Setup:
Here, we've kept in mind that the GUNNER24 Down Setup has been formed against a
strong main trend and we will have to remember in such a situation to cover at the
first or second double arc or to turn our position, respectively.
The 13 Candle GUNNER24 Down in the 15 minute time frame at the 5th double arc as
well is generating a spike candle which meets the double arc precisely in fact and
rebounds immediately. PERFECT!!
You see which kind of security in your trading the GUNNER24 Forecasting Method can
give you. Even though I'm sorry to say that the conformation by a signal in as many
as four time frames hardly ever happens. But, if you catch such a trade definitely
you'll be rewarded.
With the GUNNER24 Forecasting Method you can trade the movements backed by the
masses. At any time day and night, for any market. The majority of the investors pay
attention to the emerging highs and lows. The number of the market participants at
the respective moment does not matter.
After that the masses take their decisions and start the impulse no matter at what
time the highs and lows are created, the majority of the participants at present decide
about the starting price of the impulse and its duration.
Overnight trading in some "calmer" markets is the ideal training ground for learning
the GUNNER24 Forecasting Method. Because of the fact that those markets normally
are much calmer you got more tranquility for counting, maybe you can better
internalize the method systematics and observe exactly how the price is performing
within the setup, approaching the targets and reacting there and you may check up to
compare the rules of the GUNNER24 Forecasting Method with the real life and
internalize it. Though waiting for the targets being reached sometimes may be a little
boring...
In the relatively illiquid markets, frequently it is more difficult to recognize the Initial
Impulse. Not because it mightn't be there but often we just cannot find it easily.
Because prices hardly show tendencies, the price range is too small. In those
situations, anyway you should let you back by your accustomed indicators and
oscillators, and by the volume as well. All those tools together with the volume give us
some pleasant support in case we are uncertain about our trades.
With the second buy, at the end of the influence area of the blue arc and the
important vertical time line of the square we see a divergence in the slow stochastic.
Being generated a higher low in price the slow stochastic shows a lower low which
together with a simultaneous volume ascent at that important price/time point led to
the 2nd buy.
Maybe you ask yourself why at the break out of the blue arc no buy occurred.
Well, during the night sessions you should get ready for the fact that the
breaks on final quotation basis are very hard to be recognized.
Since here, too, the lost motion always influences in the breaks but those breaks are
hard to be recognized through the "smaller" candles, a break out "in price" happens
less frequently than "in time".
The price carries on working its way through the time until it reaches the point where
the lost motion will have been overcome.
Furthermore, the price was obviously on its way to approach the lower Gann Angle
after having broken the 1*1 Gann Angle.
The cover took place because again, the price at the important time line and the
temporal influence of the 2nd double arc come together.
While overnight trading you should let the Forecasting Method "speak for itself". That
means when price and time come together at an important spot of the setup you
cover and take along some profits. That's better than to wait for breaks which often
you can hardly recognize.
Again, the 3rd buy occurred at the important time line in combination with the
temporal influence of the 3rd double arc and a positive divergence at the Slow
Stochastic. The cover took place again at the important time line within the 4th double
arc.
Let's consider a little more exactly now the environment of the swing low which
emerges by the temporal influence of the 3rd double arc.
In the previous chapters you saw the use of the Advanced GUNNER24 Setup
Techniques sometimes.
There are some important employment areas for the Advanced GUNNER24 Setups you
should consider while trading:
The situation: A 3 candle (maybe a 5 candle) GUNNER24 Down Setup is present. The
swing low was below (maybe exactly on) the lower line of the double arc. We had a
final quotation within the 2nd double arc. First main target is the 3rd double arc. NDX is
below the 1*1 Gann Angle = bearish. NDX is at double resistance. 1. The price is
exactly below/at the lower horizontal line of the first square and 2. The price is exactly
at the Resistance Gann Angle from which the NDX once in 2008 rebounded. Over all a
very bearish situation.
The Advanced Setup Technique helps us to recognize where the lastly started
GUNNER24 Initial Impulse is situated, to which height it can still climb or if it has
finished already.
The situation: NDX is orienting at the steeper Gann Angle and situated in the bullish
half of the setup. The 2nd double arc seems to be broken, we still have to wait for the
confirmation (final quotation basis).
Above all because the price has arrived at some important resistances!! The main
target, the 3rd double arc is activated. Another buy is released if on final quotation
basis the actual candle confirms the break of the 2nd double arc. Here again the target
price is 1830-1840.
We find another
confirmation that the
actual upswing should
be finished by the end
of October/Beginning
of November at 1835-
1855 if we look at the
former 2 Candle
GUNNER24 Up which
was generated by the
end of 2002.
Now we place a 1:1 copy of the original setup and anchor the copy at a corner point of
any square of the original setup.
The following Advanced GUNNER24 Setups show us clearly how price and time are
linked together. You can simply try or "discover", respectively, the following ones and
many more, if at the weekend you have got time for analyzing and studying:
In this 8 Candle GUNNER24 Up Setup at the DAX Daily you don't lay the counter down
setup 1:1 over the original setup but enlarged, laying the 1st square of the counter
down setup over four squares of the original setup. Again, we have got access to
many more additional informations for our trades because we understand better what
the price is orienting on.
In the above DAX chart, at the orange square possibly a price behaviour is developing
which is mostly very nice to be traded if we are able to foresee it.
At this stage, the market has been stable for a while and is beginning to move higher.
We see that the market is putting in higher lows and higher highs, and can recognize
with the advanced setup technique that the market direction and sentiment have
changed.
Both are beautiful spike candles which allow us to recognize the strength of the red
counter double arc.
Rule 15: Around that area of influence, and shortly in front of it or shortly behind it
you will ALWAYS have to get ready for a change in trend and be able to join trading
the trend.
In this section, you will find the definition of the terminological concepts which are
used in the "GUNNER24 Trading Setup Examples".
= Trading action
Trend strategy: It is best to trade with trends, meaning that if the general trend of
the market is headed up, you should be very cautious about taking any positions that
rely on the trend going in the opposite direction.
Definition of a falling trend downtrend: Series of lower swing highs and lower
swing lows.
Definition of the GUNNER24 Initial Impulse The initial impulse is the price
range which the price covers in 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, or 55 etc. time units. In
exceptional cases only the price range of the initial impulse can be counted from the
absolute low to the absolute high or vice versa.
Definition of the GUNNER24 Down The price is falling. The GUNNER24 is defined
from the high to the low of the initial impulse.
Gann Angle: The ideal balance between time and price exists when prices move
identically to time, which occurs when the Gann Angle is at 45 degrees.
In total, there are nine different Gann angles that are important for identifying trend
lines and market actions. Only the three most important are shown in the GUNNER24
Setups. When one of these angles is broken, the following angle will provide support
or resistance.
Definition of the reverse and double technique: You buy two contracts, for
instance. Accordingly, the stops are set short with six contracts. Those shorts are used
to cover both long positions. With the remaining four contracts you only need to reach
the half of the original loss move to be even again.
In an uptrend where a series of rising swing lows is present the trend change
happens after the highest candle in the uptrend. You go short if the candle body
of that highest high candle of the uptrend is broken on final price basis. The
absolute high of the uptrend is your stop.
In a downtrend where a series of lower swing lows and lower swing highs is
present, the trend change happens after the lowest low candle of the
downtrend. You go long if the candle body of that lowest low candle of the
downtrend is broken on final price basis. The absolute low of the downtrend is
your stop.
Definition of the lost motion: The lost motion is the maximum or the average
amount, respectively by which a resistance or support line can be crossed without
breaking.
