How to Calculate Hexagon Chart Angles

Ever wonder how to calculate an angle on WD Gann's hexagon chart? Here is the formula
1 equates to 360 degrees.
Therefore .5 equates to 180 degrees and .25 to 90.
(But just like the sq9 calcs., not exactly)

let "a" be your number or price or whatever

then

a = 3n(n-1)

your first step of course is to solve for n which is

not as easy as taking the square root but almost.
Remember the quadratic equation?

n = (3 + (9 + 12*a)½)/6

lets say your number is 36 and you want to add 90

degrees

1. first find n

n = (3 + (9 + 12*36)½)/6 = 4

(In case its not clear… we are taking the square

root of the term (9 + 12*36) in the above equation)

2. since 1 => 360 degrees , .25 => 90 degrees adding

that to the n = 4 gives 4.25 therefore your target
becomes:

a' = 3*4.25(4.25 -1) = 41.4 <- not quite 42 like

it should be but close enough don't you agree?

Remember…

the Square of 9
(Futia) formula is:
degrees = (180*P½ -225)*360 (degrees)
