Here's code for Gann Angles originally coded by Mobius and modified for highs and lows by someone else. I posted this for those who already know how to use Gann's Angles. There are courses in Udemy.com, if you don't know already. Also look here: The Best Gann Fan Trading Strategy

# End Code Gann Angles

The following is from the thinkScript Lounge:

I'm attempting to develop a custom quote column for the Gann Angle so that I can watch the rate of increase or decrease of prices in a gap as a quick reference to selecting a stock to gap trade. There's no errors in the code; however, I'd appreciate any feedback or ideas on this. I've updated my Gann Angle code so that all time units are in seconds. So hopefully this should be working correctly; however, I'm not sure about the units of the angles. Are they in radians or in decimal degrees?

Code: 
script cq_gannangle {
# CQ_GannAngle

def StartOfDay = 0000;
def OpeningTime = 0930;

# Time Values
def CurrentTime = secondsFromTime(StartOfDay);
def StartOfTrading = secondsFromTime(OpeningTime);

# Price Values
def CurrentPrice = hl2;
def OpeningPrice = open(period = "DAY"); # Today's Opening Price

plot GannAngle = (CurrentPrice - OpeningPrice)/(CurrentTime -StartOfTrading);
}
# CQ_GannAngleCOLUMN
def _GannAngle = CQ_GannAngle().GannAngle;
plot GannAngle = roundUp((Atan(_GannAngle) * 180 / Double.Pi),2);#This is in degrees

Any way to modify this to draw a -45 degree angle from the HOD and a 45 degree angle from the LOD?

How does this determine where the fan begins?
Click to expand...
Ruby: 
# fan starting point ?
#   find the highest high and lowest low.
#   then determine which one occurred first.

# highest price level of high
def Apex = HighestAll(hData);

# if current bar is the highest high, then set the barnumber
def Apex_Bar = if high == Apex
                then bar
                else Double.NaN;

# lowest price level of low

def Nadir_Bar = if low == Nadir
               then bar
               else Double.NaN;

# use highestall() to get the barnumbers for highest high and lowest low.
#   only 1 bar for each variable (Apex_Bar, Nadir_Bar) will have a number.
#   the other bars will be double.nan, so ignored by highestall()
# use min() to determine which one came first, which one has a lower barnumber
def FirstBar = Min(HighestAll(Apex_Bar), HighestAll(Nadir_Bar));

# set the price level of the firstbar
def FirstValue = if HighestAll(Apex_Bar) == FirstBar
                 then Apex
                 else if HighestAll(Nadir_Bar) == FirstBar
                      then Nadir
                      else FirstValue[1];

i'm not sure, i don't have my mind in tune with this now,
but i made this to find the first of monthly high or monthly low. (the lowest barnumber)
maybe it can help you or someone to put them together.

Sort of what PennyFlipper is asking for..
Find-Highest-Close-Lowest-Close.png

I don't care about the wicks I want the lines to be on the close. Along with the difference in percentage and price between the two.
The attached screenshot shows the white lines representing where I prefer your lines to be. I don't want the Highs and Lows but the lowest close and highest close of a give period, also what would be great is a percentage and price difference between them.
Is that possible? If you can tell me what to replace I can try, but newbie

Please understand that the white lines were hand drawn and that is my preference as opposed to lines hitting the wicks.
But here is the code, which is the same as halcyonguy posted, I just changed the colors:

Click to expand...
Did you ever figure this out? Im also trying to get this but maybe 4 hour instead. I usually plot a Gann Fan on the 4 hour, trace over them with trend lines so that it shows up on my intraday charts. Its very effective, but sometimes im rushing to do it (Daughter loves to grab my attention pre market). If anyone could help that would be awesome.

In short : I am looking for a Gann Fan Angle study that I can choose my aggregation period for. I.e. id like to have Gann Angle values from the 4 hour chart, show up on my 2-15 min chart, is that possible?
 
Is there a way to control the focus point of the existing code? After putting up this indicator, the extended line messed the zoom. Hope someone can help to address it! Thank you.
