The Gann Fan – Description and Uses

by rcanessa

What is the Gann fan?

In this article, we will explain another market analysis tool developed in the last century by a famous analyst and trader, which was designed to study the price oscillations between market highs and lows. This tool has some popularity and can be found on most trading platforms, although its effectiveness has been questioned. The Gann Fan is a technical analysis tool used to indicate price movements from important highs and lows as well as to identify price breakouts.

William Delbert Gann developed analysis techniques based on geometric patterns and classical angles whose relationship, according to its creator, allows us to correctly predict future market movements in both time and price. This analysis tool is built based on Gann angles.

Gann was a stock market analyst who in the 20th century wrote his foundations to invest in the stock market in his work “The basis of My Forecasting Method”. This work, which consists of just over 30 pages as a manual, was published in 1935.

The Gann fan is formed by lines that start from the same point with different angles. It is similar to the Fibonacci fan, but the angles between the lines that make up this fan are classic angles like the 45 degrees one.

Financial Assets – What is an asset?

by rcanessa

What is a financial asset?

An asset is a resource with economic value that owns or controls an individual or entity, which is interchangeable and from which it is expected to obtain future benefit. The issuance of an asset generates a debt to the issuing party (seller) and a right in the title (buyer).

For asset issuers, these represent a form of financing of their economic activity, since they receive money from the title buyer and generate the obligation of a future payment (generates a debt in the issuer). At the national accounting level, financial assets are not accounted for in the calculations of the Gross Domestic Product and, therefore, it is considered that they do not generate wealth in the country, although they contribute to economic growth by facilitating the movement of resources.

What is liquidity in the market?

by rcanessa

What is liquidity?

In economics, business or investment, liquidity is the ability of an asset to be converted into cash quickly without losing its value.

Thus, market liquidity can be defined as the ability to buy and sell an asset without causing a significant movement of the price. It can also be defined as the facility to exchange an asset for products and services, cash being the most liquid asset since it can be used immediately for any economic transaction. However, there are cases in which money is not the most liquid asset, for example, in countries with high inflation or hyperinflation, the population tends to stop using the currency in favor of a foreign currency or the use of other system of exchange of goods and services such as barter, leaving a hole of liquidity for its national currency. In other cases, they turn to other assets, such as in Venezuela, where people turn to Bitcoin precisely because of hyperinflation.

What is the FOMC (Federal Open Market Committee)?

by rcanessa

What is the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC)?

The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) is a committee within the Federal Reserve responsible for the most important issues of monetary policy in the United States.

The FOMC is responsible for the country’s open market operations (ie, the buy and sale of US Treasury Securities by the FED). It is the Federal Reserve Committee that makes decisions about the interest rates and monetary resources of the United States. The FOMC establishes monetary policy by specifying the short-term objectives for open market operations of the FED, which is itself the target level for the federal funds rate (Federal Funds Rate is the interbank interest rate, which commercial banks charge each other for loans).

The FOMC also directs the operations carried out by the Federal Reserve System in the foreign exchange market (Forex), although any intervention in the foreign exchange market is coordinated with the US Treasury, which has the responsibility of formulating the policies of the United States with respect to the exchange rate of the US dollar.
