Gann Fan
The Gann Fan is plotted between 2 points, this indicator will draw a set of trend lines, these trend lines are drawn at different angles, This Fan will draw the middle line at an angle of 45 degrees as long as price is above this 45 degrees line then the momentum of the upward trend will continue as shown below.
