Although at times limited by page size in this book, I believe pattern, price, and time analysis is presented in a detailed but clear manner. Gann, for example, left no record on how to trade stock indices, Treasury bonds, or Forex markets. While Gann analysis concepts are discussed in this book, it is not intended to be a book solely on Gann analysis as many original ideas and techniques are introduced throughout the text.
The expert trader could also use this book to enhance his or her analysis or trading abilities.
This book will provide a good base for the analyst who wants to use more sophisticated technical analysis techniques. It is very important to learn how pattern, price, and time techniques work before using computerized trading indicators. It should be required reading before computerized analysis is attempted. If anything, this book should be used by the novice as an introduction to the subjects of pattern, price, and time. This is done intentionally because I wanted to emphasize, just as Gann did in his books, that the analyst must study, experiment, and practice these techniques over and over. At times the book may seem repetitive, especially in the chapters about the trend indicator.
It is by no means intended to replace the books and courses written by W. In conclusion, this book is intended to be educational and informative. In an effort to provide the reader with more automation Iâve attached a link to the TradeStation code for my trend indicator at This will allow the reader to create swing charts in the same manner as W. This includes what I believe is the source of his Law of Vibration and a list of books that he recommended. In order to appease those who feel I am keeping secrets, I will publish a few surprises in this book that will point those who want to study the metaphysical elements of Gann analysis in the right direction. Remember that although Gann said that time was most important in identifying changes in trend, price and time and money management are just as important when trading. I can say that if you understand the basics of this book then learn financial astrology, you will have an edge over those who only know astrology because, after all, astrology is a time indicator. I stated it was not my intention to write or teach financial astrology. I stated in the book that teaching financial astrology was beyond the scope of this book and could take years to learn and apply. This could not be further from the truth. After the last book was published, I received criticism that I was holding back on Gannâs secrets.
