Forex and other markets require a profitable trading strategy. It’s gonna take a long time to create it. The efficiency of this work will be higher if the trader is familiar with different trading methods. This includes the method of the famous analyst William Gunn. Its theory is based on two main components: history analysis and price corridor. The analysis of historical data allows us to identify market situations that may repeat themselves. Price corridors formed by levels (support and resistance) indicate important areas. They are a reference point for determining the point at which a trend can be reversed. William Gunn offered traders several analysis tools. One of them I want to talk about in this article. It’s a Gunn grid.

- after entering the market do not change the stop-loss level;
- do not allow small profits and large losses;
- do not open an order just because you are tired of waiting for a favorable market situation for this.
