Oliver Wedge
Overview
The Oliver Wedge is a proprietary tool, based on the work of Alan Oliver from Trading With Gann.

Note: The Wedge tool can only be applied to a Gann Swing Chart, and not the overlay.
To add the tool to your chart, select the tool from the Line Studies tool group, and left-click on the chart or indicator on which you wish to add the tool. Optuma will then draw the tool using the default settings.

Apply Settings to All: When multiple Oliver Wedge tools have been applied to a chart, page or workbook, this action can be used to apply the settings of the one selected to other instances of the tool.
