What Is the Square of 9?
“There is a definite relation between price and time. When time and price square-out expect a change in trend.”
– WD Gann
The Square of 9 is a spiral of numbers starting with the number one in the center. The numbers spiral around the center in a clockwise manner to the number 9, which completes the first cycle or square of numbers around the center. Hence, it is called the Square of 9.
Circumscribed around this spiral number grid are the dates of the year.
The true origin of the Square of 9 is unknown, but we know for certain is that Gann used the Square of 9 and considered it very valuable.
The concept behind the Square of 9 is that growth is not linear. Rather, it occurs in a spiral fashion. Many traders are familiar with the use of the Fibonacci sequence of numbers as a way to measure market moves.
Fibonacci Spiral
A Fibonacci spiral is, in effect, a series of quarter-circles (90 degrees) drawn inside an array of SQUARES representing the Golden Mean.
My Square of 9 Wheel provides a proven repeatable mathematical process that integrates time and price to identify turning points.
This remarkable trading tool allowed me to identify in real time the SPX October 2002 bear market bottom, the SPX October 2007 bull market top, the SPX March 2009 major bear bottom, the SPX March 23rd, 2020 crash low, the January 2022 SPY false breakout, the important SPY low on October 13, 2022 and the September 2011 top in gold to mention a few examples as well as hundreds of pivotal highs and lows in key stocks we follow such as TSLA’s 101.80 low in January 2023.
The Square of 9 Wheel has an uncanny accuracy for unlocking the key to major trend changes as well as nailing pivots for swing and short-term trades.
Legendary trader, W.D. Gann, did not have a physical Square of 9 Wheel but used the concept he called Time & Price Equality.
It states that markets turn when time and price are equal. Price points to time; time points to price.
If you don’t believe that there is an internal DNA to the market, Jeff Cooper’s Gann studies will show that there absolutely is.

Jeff’s analysis of Gann cycles of time & price have consistently impressed me over the years.

My favorite thing about Hit and Run trading is the discussions involving the square of 9 wheel.
Arie from Holland
I have followed Jeff for more than a decade and studied his guidance through several macro events. Those Gann chats and square of nine time-price relations continue to amaze me. When Jeff refers to a 30-40yr old chart to emphasize on something, I pay attention.
