W.D. Gann was one of the most brilliant and insightful technical analyst who ever lived. It is very useful for traders to learn more about Gann and his methodology for forecasting the financial markets, which is based on geometry, astronomy and astrology, and ancient mathematics. The more you study Gann, the more respect you have for what he actually did.
Gann allows us to make outrageous forecasts that no other discipline can match. The trick? With Gann we base our views on “science.”
Gann is not going to win the day with traders who don’t believe in charts. Traders tend to be first and foremost skeptical of anything and everything. I don’t blame them. There is a lot of stuff out there that is just sheer marketing hype. But Gann is not marketing hype. It is real. The more you study Gann, the more you realize the “Truth in the Ticker Tape.” The truth in the charts. The charts don’t lie.
A short video tutorial demonstrating the power of Gann analysis.
The position of the planets in relation to each other has some sort of energy that can influence the markets. I don’t understand it; I just know from observation that it works. Gann’s ideas came from a scientific study of the planets and how they relate to the markets. It is fascinating stuff. Not everyone will see it that way, but so it goes.
I’m still mystified that more traders don’t even know who Gann was. Gann was a genius. No hype. Just hard work and incredible diligence to his craft. And brilliant insight.
