The first of many Metallic Ratio studies from Samxon.ca is here. Golden Ratio and Other Metallic Ratio Analysis Methods Inspired by Gann Fans by Paul Samson is a 30-page research paper that takes the golden ratio, the most famous member of the metallic family, and extends it to silver, bronze, copper, nickel and platinum to build a Gann-fan style way of reading angles and pull backs.
What is in the paper
- The metallic ratios, ranked by n: n=0 Platinum, n=1 Gold, n=2 Silver, n=3 Bronze, n=4 Copper and n=5 Nickel
- How W.D. Gann fan angles can be re-expressed with metallic ratios instead of fixed 1×1, 2×1 and 1×2 lines
- How to read pull backs against each ratio, and how the depth of a pull back hints at which metal a run belongs to
- The idea of grading a run by the deepest metallic level it reaches, and the in-between levels called alloys
- Charts and worked examples so you can test the ideas on your own markets
The central idea: Gann fans give traders a set of angles to measure a trend against. Metallic ratios give those angles a family tree, so a trend can be described by which ratio it follows and how that changes over time.
Who it is for
Chart readers who already know Fibonacci retracements or Gann angles and want a wider toolbox, and curious traders who like to test ideas for themselves. It is a theory-forward paper that invites you to prove the ideas to yourself rather than a set of trading signals.
