  1. Unit of time: day, hour, minute, second?

    Unit of price: tick, point?

    Are you actually making money with these "angles?"

    I read a bit about Gann several years ago, and I wrote him off as a loon. Perhaps he didn't start off that way but there is little doubt in my mind that this was his eventual destination. You are aware of course, that his "trading" also had an astrological basis, right?

  3. Unit of price versus unit of time is unique to each instrument. His astro was based on cyclical timing of planets. it had nothing to do with Virgo's are uplifted so they will be buying stock.

    When gann used astro, it was used in the manner of timing cycles. A Jupiter cycles is 12 years, a Saturn cycle is 30 years. This is how Gann used Astro. It was one more way to fix price and time in order to derive a usable pattern. Nothing more, nothing less.

    In so much as making money with angles, Gann says over and over and over, to use ALL the rules ALL the time. So if you put a chart with properly drawn angles on it, but do not check volume of sales, do not check where old highs and lows are, do not check is time has overbalanced, etc. You are going to be roadkill. But if you DO check all these things, then you will know nearly to the DAY, that a trend has reversed, and is oscillating back to challenge a previous high or low.

  5. Nice try, but you didn't post a link to a performance table. That site does have a nice picture of a lady with a horse, though.

    Outstanding follow-up questions:

    1. Your book? Where is that available? There doesn't appear to be a book associated with your name.
    2. Please name the Swiss group.
    3. Is there anything except your claim that backs you were nominated for a Nobel Prize?

    Lastly, why can't these questions just be answered? Why all the indirection and obfuscation? This behavior feels Madoff like. Is that your intent? Why can't this all just be disclosed?
