It seems to me if there is any threshold of geometry which runs through the market then all math leads to Rome. Number is as number does.'<br /><br />As a last bit, continuing Jeff's ' Number is as number does' comment...<br /><br />Gann did a Col. Jessup saying we couldn't handle the truth... and as such he never directly articulated his beliefs...in that sense, yes he was a fraud, albeit a clever one relying on the insight of some clever folks.Anonymous Monetaristhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05244697197094564980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7661188327981862288.post-41470723279136426692010-03-06T09:17:43.693-06:002010-03-06T09:17:43.693-06:00Yes Anonymous,
Very familiar with John's anal...Yes Anonymous,<br /><br />Very familiar with John's analysis.<br />To expand upon your point using Mr. Needham's prescient observations:<br /><br />'Gann's simplest teachings held that these angles would measure markets in a predetermined ratio such as 1X1 where price would move 1 'unit' for every 'unit' of time. Other popular Gann angles were 1X4 and 1X8 being angles on the square and the special 1X3 lines, angles on the triangles.<br /><br />Gann's background in freemasonry and Sepharial's books 'The Silver Key' and 'Kabala of Numbers' are essential reading for a depper understanding of Gann's work.<br /><br />Gann's opinion of market turns occurring when 'time and price are squared' is referring to the point on an angle where market price coincides with 1X1 or other angle.<br /><br />This 'point on an angle' could be an important numerological sequence from Sepharial.<br /><br />It could also be a time fractal from the astrological chart ruling the market in question. <br /><br />Gann's discovery 'that markets move in fractals of 1/8th of the previous price range' should be a dominant plank of his claim to fame.<br /><br />Markets still use 1/8th fractals of previous ranges as their boundaries (and 1/3rds).<br /><br />For Gann these ratios were as far as he developed his price sequencing. For the Danielcode they are the base ratios. <br /><br />The most common of Gann's time cycles were astrological cycles.<br /><br />Gann's teachings hold that the high before the high and the low before the low were paramount chart points.<br /><br />Danielcode market time can be measured from two points, the high and the high after the high. If we are seeking a high we usually measure from the low or the low after the low. <br /><br /> All markets have their own "vibration", what WD Gann called the "Law of Vibrations". So each market has an identifiable signature or vibration. Gann, who was much dependant on Sepharial for his market insights, thought that vibration came from each market's birth number ie its horoscope. In Sepharial's "Silver Key" he shows a horoscope of the “birth” date and time of the New York Stock Exchange and the first trade of a number of stocks on that exchange. He ascribes the NYSE signature vibration to those calculations.<br /><br />Of course, most of that is nonsense and the true number or vibration for NYSE is the sum of its parts. If you run a best fit regression for every stock on NYSE and give them an exponential weighting, then take the mean of that rating, you will have the true vibration of NYSE.<br /><br />Strangely it is not far from what Sepharial calculated 90 years ago with his birth charts!<br /><br />Many have dedicated large parts of their life in the search for the twin Grails of trading: price and time. That they are the same thing juxtaposed on different axis is not a new concept. WD Gann, under the tutelage of his mentor, the British astrologer and numerologist “Sepharial” advanced this proposition in 1935. But Sepharial camouflaged his observations by claiming that they were related to astrological cycles. Indeed they are, but he scrupulously avoided saying that all of these cycles are of Biblical origin. What do you think the wise men, sages and prophets of Biblical time were looking at on those myriad of long nights as they sat outside their tents? They observed the stars and the heavens. And they wrote down, sometimes in code and sometimes openly, the great cycles of the heavenly orbs. Sepharial used that knowledge but fudged naming the source because it wasn’t cool'Anonymous Monetaristhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05244697197094564980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7661188327981862288.post-27289339677773994432010-03-06T05:53:04.207-06:002010-03-06T05:53:04.207-06:00Needham has stated Mr Gann was a fraud...He also r...Needham has stated Mr Gann was a fraud...He also recently stated JCN (Webmaster) Mar 06, 2010 - 1:22am GMT<br />10 hours ago - Don't get hung up on Gann. It's mostly bunkum and the good stuff comes from Sepharial in any event.<br /><br />But just to clarify. Gann worked on both stocks and commodities. His base was what he called the 1X1 line. Gann charts have some very particular properties, most notable of which is that time and price were measured on an equal scale. So if price went up 1 point (or $) in one day it would be holding the 1X1 line. He also used 1X3 (the angle on the triangle), 1X2; 1X4 and 1X8 lines.<br /><br />The original meaning of "Time and Price" squared meant an equal move on both chart axis. So a market that moved 150 points in 150 days was said to "square" time and price.<br /><br />Almost all charting programs have some form of Gann lines or Gann "fans" that create these lines, but as programmers and traders almost entirely fail to understand Gann's methodology; all but 1 of the Gann tools are wrong (including Genesis).

Thanks for the reference..<br /><br />Here is an brief description for WIKI : 'The book challenges the habitual idea of a progressive science working towards a definite goal. The suggestion of the title is that the scientific discoveries and the geniuses that come to them are like a game of sleepwalking. Not that they come by pure chance, but that often the genius doesn't really know that he has discovered, as it is evident for instance in the three Laws of Kepler.<br />A central theme of The Sleepwalkers is the changing relationship between faith and reason. Koestler explores how these seemingly contradictory threads existed harmoniously in many of the greatest intellectuals of the West. He illustrates that while the two are estranged today, in the past the most ground-breaking thinkers were often very spiritual.<br /><br />Another recurrent theme of this book is the breaking of paradigms in order to create new ones. People - scientists included - hold onto cherished old beliefs with such love and attachment that they refuse to see the wrong in their ideas and the truth in the ideas that are to replace them.<br />"The conclusion he puts forward at the end of the book is that modern science is trying too hard to be rational. Scientists have been at their best when they allowed themselves to behave as "sleepwalkers," instead of trying too earnestly to ratiocinate.'<br /><br />Ratiocinate was a new word to me! The definition is 'to reason methodically and logically.'Anonymous Monetaristhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05244697197094564980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7661188327981862288.post-4455884928172892792010-03-02T10:48:49.746-06:002010-03-02T10:48:49.746-06:00Au contraire, mon frere.

Monet to wend his way back down the windings of the historical labyrinth from Needham and Mr. Gann to the sublime celestial navigator Johannes Kepler and of course, the daddy of 'em all, the ineffable Pythagoras. The music of the spheres which Kepler traced the haunting echoes of, finds resonance on the pages of this humble blog. May it find an equal and pleasing reverberation in the minds of anyone who might have the good fortune to gather the gleanings which you so generously bestow upon so many unsuspecting wanderers in the blogosphere.
