Gann Profit Targets
The system calculates precise targets using Fibonacci-based Gann ratios:

⚙️ Configuration Guide
1. ZigZag Settings
ZigZagDepth = 12 // Sensitivity to price swings ZigZagDeviation = 5 // Minimum price movement ZigZagBackstep = 3 // Look-back period
Recommendation: Keep default values for most pairs. Increase depth for ranging markets.
2. Pattern Settings
MinImpulsePoints = 300 // Minimum impulse size in points MaxBarsLookback = 500 // Historical data to scan MinBarsP3 = 2 // Bars since Point 3 confirmation
Tip: Lower MinImpulsePoints (200-250) for lower timeframes like M15/H1.
3. Lot Size Management
Fixed Lot Mode:
LotMode = LOT_MODE_FIXED FixedLot = 0.01
Risk Percentage Mode:
LotMode = LOT_MODE_RISK RiskPercent = 2.0 // Risk 2% per trade
Risk % Formula: Calculates position size based on stop loss distance and account balance.
4. Gann Target Ratios
PrelimGoalRatio = 0.618 // 61.8% Fibonacci Zone1MinRatio = 1.000 // 100% extension Zone1MaxRatio = 1.618 // 161.8% Golden ratio Zone2MinRatio = 2.618 // 261.8% extension Zone2MaxRatio = 4.236 // 423.6% extension StopLossRatio = 0.5 // 50% retracement
Conservative: Increase StopLossRatio to 0.618 for safer trades.
5. Trade Management
UsePartialClose = true // Close 50% at Preliminary Goal MoveToBreakeven = true // Protect capital BreakevenPoints = 10 // Offset from entry TrailMode = TRAIL_PRELIM // Start trailing after prelim goal TrailDistance = 50 // Points behind price MaxOpenTrades = 1 // Limit concurrent positions
6. Order Execution Modes
ORDER_MARKET:
- Instant execution at current price
- Best for liquid markets
- No slippage risk from pending orders
ORDER_PENDING:
- Places Buy/Sell Stop orders
- Offset configurable (default 20 points)
- Better fills in volatile conditions
ORDER_GEMINI_DECIDE:
- AI selects optimal entry method
- Considers spread and volatility
- (Currently defaults to market)
7. Higher Timeframe Filter
UseHigherTFFilter = true HigherTF = PERIOD_H4 HTF_TrendMA = 50
Purpose: Only takes trades aligned with larger trend.
- BUY signals require price above H4 MA(50)
- SELL signals require price below H4 MA(50)
Disable for ranging markets or if trading reversals.
