"Studying the writings of traders who were active in the first three or four decades of this century has oftenDivision of Eightinspired me to do additional research. This has allowed me to develop additional tools and theories. In reality, what I present in this segment will not “pure” Gann. Instead, I will present applications and approaches which I have found to be useful and successful. Hopefully, this will provide a foundation for anyone who wants to study further on his/her own.

Many of the successful traders from the first half of this century have a reputation of being almost mystical. To many, this is especially true of W.D. Gann. Trader after trader has searched for Gann’s “secret” to unlock the mysteries of the market. Many of his tools, and mine as well, are relatively simple and are not secrets.

    And, it is said that no new classical composition has been created since the 19th century. Only variations on those magnificent themes.

    I am currently doing a course on Gann principles and my grounded, rancher logic finds resonance with it. And, with your final words on hard work and common sense, the latter being conspicuous by it's absence.
