Gann Astrology

Thursday 23 January 2014


I tracked down what Gann talked about and read in his files about relationships and planetary motion under the name of (the astronomical way of Gann) attached to the workshop and I read most of the interventions of the commenters and did not settle for even looked at most of what has been written about Gann and his astronomical  and non-astronomical style and when I said that the style of Gann was based on astrology because I noticed after studying of some of the books and astronomical references to try to understand the style of Gann as follows ..


Jean divides the circle as (Pharaohs) divided past into 12 part where to take the Pharaohs year twelve months and every month is a three (periods) and every period is divided to ten days to become the year three hundred and sixty days .... They added five days considering them holidays (each tower has three aspects of astrology) as well as (Gann same division of the circle).
And attention to the number 7.... As the number of (7) in the Babylonian civilization an important role because they have discovered seven planets include (the sun, moon and Mercury and Venus and Mars and Jupiter and Saturn) ...  the Babylonians care in the day 7, 14, 21 and 28 of every month (Gann same attention of numbers).
the Greek civilization Came and adopted the same circuit as the Pharaohs divided with the addition of twelve towers and put each tower in a particular section of this circle to deduce the motion of the planets (as found in the special incantations of Gann himself).
Symbols of the towers, which are used by Gann are the same ones used in astrology (your luck today).
And towers in astrology is divided into several divisions, including divided into four sections which constants and capsized and animate and of two bodies (as in astrology), and each set includes three towers (Quartet relationship also Gann says).
And the Babylonians divided Earth into three concentric zones ... In astrology they divided the circle of the towers into three sections and they are (fire, dirt, air and water) every four towers in the group (the tripartite relationship as Gann stated).
Most of what has been written about Gann is inaccurate information and we will find while checking it illogical and wrong ... So that no one wrote a full curriculum for a genius style of (Gann) despite the passage of those years. Because they choose by their moods angles between planets until consensus reality and ignoring the other angles.
Even the division of the relationships between the planets and constellations in the astrology of the relationship coupling and hexagonal and square and triangular and interview (adopted by Gann).
When we see what on the above (and this summary of what has been concluded) it is clear that Gann gathering between the Planetary Science and towers of various civilizations and science of astrology and drew them a certain style of trading commodities and stocks (astrology)
Let us take an example:
According to an interview with a friend of William Gann, as she said, "There was one of the most exciting and the most surprising calculations signed by the committees during the summer [1909] when he predicted that the price of wheat in September will reach $ 1.20, and this means that it must touch the figure before the end of the month September and in Chicago on September 30 (the last day) of wheat was sold on the same day at a price of $ 1.08, and it looked as if the expectations are not fulfilled. Gann said: that it the price of wheat did not reach today to $ 1.20 at the end of the session, it will prove that there is something wrong and I will accounts and change my whole life style. And I do not care what the price is now, but it should be up today for the price of $ 20.1. 'In the last hour of trading wheat price rose quickly to $ 20.1 at the end of trading up to the expectation and Gann mechanism to settle at this figure. "
According to his followers, it was the degree of health committees up to the expectations of 85%.
Gann also made predictions on the election of the U.S. president and the beginning and end of the two world wars.
Is not all this astrology?
And there is a question.... Is now there a proof that the planets effect on human beings (other than what is going on about the effects of the sun and moon) with it is not scientifically proven.
And that there was no one scientific proof of the effect of the planets on the human ... How can they affect commodities or stocks.
I do not deny the influence of the planets on the nature and life around us as the sequence of the day and night and tides and eclipses and find out the times etc... It is not reasonable to say that the planet will be located in the tower as well as your condition will be such and such....
When looking for a way, we must identify the correct parameters to move forward and do not care about the search for delusions and even if we found something we find him and they are in illusion.
Gann hid his secret family and did not give him to one, and let everyone looking on his own way ... Since the scripts and talismans Gann confirms that his is a witty astronomer and astrologer... To look after him the right way and see what the outcome of the search ... Through my experience with Gann methods we should look behind (astrology) firstly with the full knowledge of the historical movements of goods and stocks ... The knowing of the nine square (what is not only a calculator) ... The secret is to find the corner to know bottom or the top.
We must not deny another essential thing ... Is that Gann was considered the sole reference in his time ... What was known in his age just declines , Fibonacci ratios , Point , figure far as I know ... And because the situation is hardly different now ... There are experts decide to start and end their operations by numbering the Elliott Wave ... There are those who take Harmonic its own decision ... There are those who take special strategies as indicators of liquidity and the determination and the Charts relative strength patterns and others in their trading ... There are who trading by their  ignorance, if they shot , it would be good and if did not hit, they waiting patiently and do not sell until the price rises again ... From this point , the time have disagreed .... And we came to the proper method for Gann ...; I think the rate of health does not exceed 50% and not 85% as was Gann-day.
And I'm still a researcher for the style of Gann-trading … I hope that you find good information through my article and I hope for you the success forever.

The secret of Gann angles

Sunday 12 January 2014


Many clever traders used Gann angles tool because it allow them to identify their entry and exit levels for great profit potential.
By the fact of studying the past Gann based his investment strategy, so as he assumed that we can predict the future:
1. There are only three factors relevant to market movement which is: Time, price, and range.
2. He considered that markets are cyclical in their nature.
3. Gann considered that market also geometric in their function and design. He sees that the movements of the markets are a reflection of human nature and it is constant over the time.
Gann’s Techniques and use of angles:
Basing on the previous ideas, Gann used three ways to predict the behavior of the market:
1. Time study, by looking at historically reoccurring dates which are derived from natural order.
2. Price study, by using support, resistance lines, pivot points, and angles.
3. Pattern study, by studying swings of the market and trend lines in addition to the reversal patterns.

Gann Angles:
In order to use Gann angles you should practice a lot, and I will give you now the basics of what you need to do:
1. Determining the units of time- you should look at the distances in which the movements of price occur, and then study charts in order to be able to determine a time unit.
See how the angles perform by putting them in the test.
The intermediate time frame (3 months) is better than daily or multiyear, it tends to produce the accurate patterns amount and it is considered the best frame to focus on.
2. Determining the high or low from drawing the Gann lines-
You should use other technical tools like Fibonacci levels or pivot points in order to achieve the best way of the above.
Gann found vibrations or price wings by analyzing charts using tools like Fibonacci numbers.
After you did the previous things you should decide which pattern to use:
1. The 1*1, 1*2, 2*1 are most common patterns, and considered purely variations of the slope of the line.
So remember that these numbers indicate the numbers of the slope and the units, for example, 1*2 is half the slope of 1*1.
2. The main basic role for Gann is that markets are cyclical in their nature so look for repeat patterns on the charts, to be able to trade.
3. In order to trade you should look for patterns and the direction will be downward on right of the high point or the right of the low point.
So we can conclude that Gann angles are important for predicting support and resistance levels.
The best formation for Gann:
Gann Angles are nine which he was using them, and when the angle is 45 degrees, price move identically in synch to time and that is the optimum balance between time and price.
So the following angle will then provide the next level of support or resistance if one of these lines is broken.
