The “Square of 9” Secrets to Trading Euro New Zealand Dollar Like a Pro

Why Most Traders Get It Wrong (And How You Can Avoid It)
Ever felt like your trading strategy is a malfunctioning GPS, taking you straight into stop-loss territory? You’re not alone. Many traders rely on conventional indicators, only to find themselves trapped in the same frustrating cycle—like buying a gym membership in January and never going. But what if I told you there’s an ancient mathematical tool that elite traders use to predict price movements with eerie accuracy?
Enter the “Square of 9”, a forecasting method favored by legendary trader W.D. Gann. When applied to the Euro New Zealand Dollar (EUR/NZD) pair, it can unveil hidden price levels, reversal points, and trends that most traders overlook. Let’s break it down.
What is the “Square of 9”? (And Why Does It Work?)
The “Square of 9” is a mathematical spiral that maps price movements in geometric form. Sounds complex? Imagine an ancient Fibonacci sequence had a baby with a time machine, and you get the gist. Gann used this tool to align price levels with key angles, creating a powerful forecasting model.
Here’s how it works:
- Numbers Spiral Outward – The chart arranges numbers in a square spiral, radiating outward from a central point.
- Geometric Angles Determine Key Levels – Certain degrees (like 45°, 90°, 180°) correspond to support and resistance levels.
- Time and Price Converge – When the price aligns with key angles at significant time cycles, expect reversals or breakouts.
Unlike lagging indicators like RSI or MACD, which react after the move, the Square of 9 anticipates where and when price will turn. It’s like knowing where the goalie is going to dive before taking your penalty shot.
How to Use the “Square of 9” for Trading EUR/NZD
Step 1: Identifying Key Price Levels
- Take the current price of EUR/NZD.
- Find its square root and add or subtract key Gann angles (e.g., 45°, 90°, 180°).
- Square the new value to project future price levels.
- These projected levels act as support and resistance zones.
✅ Example Calculation:
- If EUR/NZD = 1.7600
- Square root = 1.3266
- Add 90° (0.25) → 1.5766
- Square it → Projected resistance = 2.4857
Step 2: Time Alignment – When Will EUR/NZD Move?
Most traders obsess over price, but Gann believed time was just as crucial. Here’s how to calculate time-based turning points:
- Convert major price levels into time cycles.
- Look for confluence between price levels and Gann dates (March 21, June 21, Sept 21, Dec 21).
- If price and time align at a Gann date, expect a major move.
???? Pro Tip: Watch for square roots of important highs and lows to find time pivots. If a major top aligns with a key Gann date, get ready.
Hidden Patterns in EUR/NZD Using the Square of 9
1. The “360° Rule” – Why Markets Move in Cycles
Markets have a natural rhythm—just like the Earth orbiting the sun. In the Square of 9, full rotations (360°, 720°) indicate major shifts. A key level on EUR/NZD will often return exactly 360 trading days later with a similar reaction.
2. The 45° Angle: A Trend Trader’s Best Friend
- A price moving above the 45° angle? Strong uptrend.
- A price dropping below the 45° angle? Bearish trend incoming.
This is a little-known secret among institutional traders that lets them spot trend reversals early.
Case Study: The EUR/NZD Flash Crash of 2015
In August 2015, EUR/NZD dropped 1,000+ pips in a single day. Traders were left scratching their heads, but Gann practitioners saw it coming.
What Happened?
- The previous high (2014) aligned perfectly with a 360° cycle.
- The 1.7500 level matched the 90° resistance angle.
- The flash crash happened exactly on a Gann date (August 24, 2015).
Coincidence? Hardly. Knowing these patterns lets traders anticipate big moves before they happen.
Conclusion: How to Profit from the Square of 9 in EUR/NZD
???? Mastering the “Square of 9” for EUR/NZD means:
✔ Spotting hidden support/resistance levels before retail traders.
✔ Identifying key time cycles for high-probability setups.
✔ Aligning price and time for precision trading.
