from past high and low points cycles or waves into
the future. As with time being measured from a past reference point, using the same cycles, so too can
price. These cycles or waves are fixed in their duration so are able to be projected into the future to
accurately forecast dates and prices that reversals will occur at.

. This information is related to the knowledge that Gann learnt from his
studies of Biblical interpretations of cycles, how he discovered the method of their calculation and how he
applied this information to markets. These cycles are the basis of timing in all events in our world and
prove by their regular appearance in market reversals that WD Gann was the master of all market analysts.
If you have used the common Gann analysis methods using the cycle of 360, division of the range and
Gann angles to determine points of reversal which are also i

of their limitations. The information contained in

i
ng other far more advanced methods
of analysis enables forecasts to be simply and accurately made as in the below diagrams. This method of
analysis shows the simplicity and accuracy in using these methods.
When TIME meets PRICE is where and when reversals occur!

WD Gann did leave information on his discovery of the most important cycles. He did this in a rather
obscure manner. He believed that one should put in the work before reaping the rewards. If you have not

reference point and divided into their parts as Gann instructed will give dates and price levels to monitor
for reversals. When major reversals occur there will always be one of these cycles present.

n sold to his students with personal tuition provided by him. It is
likely that the detailed cycle information may have been revealed in this tuition. Consequently the
commonly available courses are not complete as they do not include the most powerful of the techniques
he used. Most Gann techniques commonly used today are valid but are not the most powerful manner to
determine dates and prices at where important reversals will occur.
The most accurate method of determining a reversal point in price is by knowledge of the numbers that
are derived from the key cycles. On a cycle date i

made very close to these reversal points. The method of symbolic number recognition is detailed in

February 2007 highs has been added. In each market the same cycles were present in

cycles. These cycles are then divided by the Gann percentages and can also be used in multiples of the
original cycle.

In my personal trading I have traded numerous high and low points on the day they occurred, as well as
many intermediate swing turns within a trending market. One of these was exiting a short position three
points from a three hundred and seventy day bear market low in 2003 and selling short on the day of the
February 2007 high on the Australian Share Price Index futures market. This style of trading can be done
by having the knowledge of when and where a market can reverse by use of cycles.
TIME and PRICE cycle effects on markets.

If you are not an experienced trader you should initially use the methods to determine reversals within an
existing trend. The information revealed will enable you to understand why past unsuccessful trades
occurred and how to avoid them in the future, then how to select only high probability of success trades in
the future.
