What do Elliott and Gann have in common?

[⭐ Minion]

... and what they don't have in common?

 

Do their approach to ther market and techniques have something in common?

Is it one's approach the continuation of the other's?

Do their theories resemble?

I also have the same question.. Another thing is that how much time does it need to become master on these two theories..!!

Put it plainly,

 

The similarities between both of their methods are below:

- Controversial, highly debatable

- Both approaches I'd categorise as "forecasting/predicting"

Gann is keep drawing lines. EG . EJ Gann students can draw lines all the way to 1min chart.

EW junkie here. Well an average EW enthusiast anyways. We use EW to forecast price and simply to make sense of the current market trends. Since both Elliott Wave and Gann users use fibonacci numbers and levels.

 

As for Gann, he has his own computations that work well with fibonacci sequences (retracements and projections) , and calendar cycles (as he traded wheat and other commodities that has a harvest cycle), but his main strength is price forecasting with the element of time.

 

You could do an Elliott wave analysis of a pair and slap on a Gann Square (to project an estimate of time) or a Gann Fan (to project key resistance points).

 

But, even astute Elliotticians are not omniscient. So we usually do atleast 1 or 2 alternate wave count analyses for both bull and bear scenarios.

 

Sorry for my english. Not my first language. Hope it helped.

I have actually found Gann's work more closer to Jesse livermore than anyone else. The way Gann discusses the beginning of a change in trend is the same as what livermore spoke about..
