There are two different Gann trend indicator dialog boxes that can appear during historical testing.
The first box appears if you are adding entry conditions. This is the dialog box that you can use to tell Investigator to check for the trend of a financial instrument before entering the trade. Select the time period and enter the number of bars ago value that you want to use for testing. Enter the Plus percent value as well as the number of closes you want to use in their respective edit boxes.
You now select the trend options you wish to use for testing. If you select the Up Trend option, you are telling Investigator to check to see if the trend is up. If you select the Trend Just Changed To Up option, you are telling Investigator to see if the trend on the previous bar was NONE, while the trend on the current bar is UP. You can combine the Up Trend or the Down Trend option with the No Trend option. If you select both the Up Trend and the No Trend options, for example, this means that when you enter the trade, the trend can be either UP or NONE.
The Gann trend indicator exit dialog box is used to enter stop parameters. Select the time period and enter the number of bars ago value that you want to use for testing. Enter the Plus percent value as well as the number of closes you want to use in their respective edit boxes.
You now select whether you want to use the GTI Long Stop or the GTI Short stop.
