# Gann Box Gann Box is an indicator on [Vela](https://vela.luxalgo.com/chart), our next-generation charting platform, written in Pine Script®. A Gann Box between a swing low and swing high, anchored automatically to confirmed swings (Swing Length 20) or snapped to the extremes of a manual date range, and subdivided in both price and time: Eighths by default, with Quarters, Thirds, Halves or Fibonacci schemes. Corner diagonals, squaring intersections, right-extended levels and projected time divisions are optional. - Indicator in the LuxAlgo Library, by LuxAlgo, published Feb 22, 2026. - Access: free. - Concepts: [Gann Box](https://www.luxalgo.com/library/concept/gann-box/) (primary), [Gann Method](https://www.luxalgo.com/library/concept/gann-method/) - Open on Vela: https://vela.luxalgo.com/chart?pineScriptCodeId=d1xicmd9wc18dl56ov1qao7q - Page: https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/gann-box/ **Gann Box** frames a swing inside a rectangle and divides it in both dimensions at once: horizontal lines split the price range into fixed fractions, vertical lines split the elapsed time the same way, and corner diagonals tie the two together. It is a disciplined take on the [Gann Box](https://www.luxalgo.com/library/concept/gann-box/): reproducible anchors, explicit fraction schemes, and alerts on every level interaction. ## How to Trade the Gann Box? - **Internal level crossings**: closes through a price division; the 50% midline, drawn in its own color, typically draws the most attention. - **Box edge breaks**: a close above the top or below the bottom ends the range read; with Extend Price Levels Right on, the edges and divisions carry forward as breakout and retest references. - **Time divisions**: with Project Time Grid Forward on, the time rhythm repeats one box-width ahead as timing windows; reaching one fires an alert. - **Squaring points**: dots where the diagonals cross the grid, the bars where the elapsed-time fraction matches the price fraction. ## Gann Box Settings - **Anchor Mode** (default Auto (Swings)); **Swing Length** (default 20): bars each side a point must dominate. Larger anchors the box on more significant swings. - **Anchor Source** (default Wicks): corners on highs/lows or on closes; keep one convention so boxes stay reproducible. - **Range Start / Range End** (defaults 1 Jan 2026 / 1 Mar 2026): the window scanned in Manual (Range) mode. It only needs to bracket the swing. - **Divisions** (default Eighths): Quarters, Thirds, Halves or Fibonacci (23.6/38.2/50/61.8/78.6%) as alternatives. - **Corner Diagonals** (on), **Diagonal Intersections** (on), **Extend Price Levels Right** (off), **Project Time Grid Forward** (off), **Price Labels** and **Time Labels** (on). - Border, fill, grid, midpoint and diagonal colors plus **Label Size** (default Small) are cosmetic. ## Frequently Asked Questions ### Gann Box or Gann Fan & Angles? The box divides one finished swing internally; the [Gann Fan & Angles](https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/gann-fan-and-angles/) projects fixed-rate angles forward from a single pivot. Use the box to structure a completed range and the fan to track a developing trend from its origin. ### Which division scheme should I pick? Eighths is the traditional scheme and already contains the quarters and the 50% midpoint; coarser schemes reduce clutter and Fibonacci swaps in retracement ratios. Whichever you choose, keep it constant across charts. ### Does chart scale matter? For the diagonals, yes: they are computed in linear price, so switching between linear and logarithmic scale changes how they render against bars. The horizontal and vertical divisions are unaffected. Keep one scale convention. ## Related indicators - [Gann Fan & Angles](https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/gann-fan-and-angles/) (Gann Method): markdown at https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/gann-fan-and-angles.md - [Volumetric Regression Heatmap](https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/volumetric-regression-heatmap/) (Linear-regression Channel): markdown at https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/volumetric-regression-heatmap.md - [Trendlines with Breaks](https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/trendlines-with-breaks/) (Trendline): markdown at https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/trendlines-with-breaks.md - [Trendline Breakout Navigator](https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/trendline-breakout-navigator/) (Trendline): markdown at https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/trendline-breakout-navigator.md - [FVG Channel](https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/fvg-channel/) (Parallel Channel): markdown at https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/fvg-channel.md - [Gann Square of 9 Vibration Levels](https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/gann-square-of-9-vibration-levels/) (Gann Square of 9): markdown at https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/gann-square-of-9-vibration-levels.md - [Trendlines with Breaks Oscillator](https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/trendlines-with-breaks-oscillator/) (Trendline): markdown at https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/trendlines-with-breaks-oscillator.md - [Zig Zag Channels](https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/zig-zag-channels/) (Parallel Channel): markdown at https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/zig-zag-channels.md --- Source: https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/gann-box/ (LuxAlgo Library).
