The time and price cycle calculation techniques detailed in “ Ga nnCy c l e s ”are the practical application of WDGa n n’ ss t a t e me ntt h a t , “whe ny ouk n owhowt ous et i meandpr i c et oge t he ry ouk nowhowt ot r ade ”. As a market moves forward in TIME, it will “ v i br a t e ”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. Gann stated in his novel, Tunnel thru the Air, “t hati nor de rto know and predict the future of anything you only have to look up what has happened in the past and get a correctbas eors t a r t i ngpoi nt ”and “…. . i fy ouhav et hec or r e c ts t ar t i ngpoi ntandk nowt hec y c l et hati sgoi ngt ober e pe at e d. ” Wh a tma k e s“ Ga n nCy c l e s ”u n i qu ei st h a ti tcontains information that WD Gann did not include in his commercially available courses. He stated that “t hege ne r alpubl i ci sn otr e adyfor it and would not believe i te v e ni fIdi dr e v e ali t ”. 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 n c l u de di n“ Ga nnCy c l e s ”- you will be aware of their limitations. The information contained in “ Gann Cycles”us 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 r e a da n dr e s e a r c h e dGa n n ’ snume r ou swor k sa n ds t u di e dt h eot h e rs ou r c e st h a th es t a t e dpr ov i de d him with his knowledge then you cannot know of this information. These cycles when calculated from a past 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. “ Ga nnCy c l e s ” also con t a i n si nf or ma t i ononh ow t o“ Balance Ti me ”wh i c his required to determine when major highs and lows will occur. This, along with the knowledge of cycles and how to interpret them is the key to understanding what some claim wa sGa nn ’ ssecret method of forecasting. It is known t h a tGa nn ’ sc ou r s e swe r eof t e 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 n“ TI ME” ,wh e na market reaches a cycle level in “ PRICE”you will be aware that a market is at a point of reversal. This enables entries and exits to be made very close to these reversal points. The method of symbolic number recognition is detailed in “ Ga nnCy c l e s ” .I ti spr e c i s e l yde t a i l e da st owhyt h eDJ I Awa sa tapr e c a r i ou spoi n ti mme di a t e l ypr i ort o the February 2007 steep decline. “ Ga nnCy c l e s ”s h owsh owt oi de n t i f ydates of reversals before they occur. The factors present at the 2000 high in the S&P 500 at the price level 1574, the S&P 500 low of 767 in October 2002 and the DJIA high in March 2005 are explained in detail. Most recently an additional section on global markets at the February 2007 highs has been added. In each market the same cycles were present in “ TIME and PRICE” at these major reversals. The method of calculation and their application is detail e di nt h e“ Ga nnCy c l e s ” manual and are shown in detail on the charts contained in the manual. The more commonly known methods of Gann, such as squaring time with price, highs, lows and ranges, division of ranges and the trend or swing chart are also detailed in the “ Ga nnCy c l e s ”ma nu a l .I ti ss h own how each of these methods is a derivation of cycles or can be used in conjunction with the key 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.

The addition of TIME and PRICE cycle analysis to this system enables market reversals to be traded on the day they occur. There is a complete chapter on “ I nt r a da yDa y ”t r a di n g .
