Trade Forex using Gann’s Master Time Factor/Time Cycles


Recommended Posts

Legendary trader William Delbert Gann’s analysis method revealed. Do you know who Gann was, he was a trader with a mysterious analytical ability whose accuracy was regarded between 81-92%. He was always quoted referencing for his analysis based on mathematics & scientific methods.

 

But in reality his methods were based on Time, that is he used Time to predict the change in market trends. Some researchers predict that he was using esoteric and some say he used mathematics, we believe with the latter adding to that in our opinion, he was also well versed with ancient/ vedic mathematics.

 

According to Gann

"TIME is the most important factor in determining market movements and by studying the past records of the averages or individual stocks you will be able to prove for yourself that history does repeat and that by knowing the past you can tell the future. There is a definite relation between TIME and PRICE. Now, by a study of the TIME PERIODS and TIME CYCLES you will learn why tops and bottoms are found at certain times and why Resistance Levels are so strong at certain times and bottoms and tops hold around them. The most money is made when fast moves and extreme fluctuations occur at the end of major cycles."

 

-- Forcasting by Time Cycles Course – W.D. Gann

 

The Time Factor is a phenomenon which exists in all financial markets. Once understood, it is a powerful tool that can allow you to calculate predictable and repeating market cycles so that you can better time your investment decisions. I am not only convinced that a Master Time Factor exists in all financial markets, I am certain that it is present because I have seen it. I have also been able to predict it occurring within the markets time and time again.

 

Gann developed the theory that there is a discernible relationship in all financial markets between price and time. He believed that the geometric representation of price through time revealed important cyclical patterns in markets that had predictive values.

 

Many have explained in different variations the premise for why Gann’s theories work. The most simple that resonates with me however is that as human nature will never change, history is destined to repeat itself.

 

A question arises, how do we know, that Gann used Time Cycles?

Richard Wyckoff, editor of the Ticker and Investment Digest and one of the most respected writers on the stock market of all time, wrote an article on Gann's discoveries and his exceptional trading ability. The article was titled 'William D. Gann. An Operator Whose Science and Ability Place Him in the Front Rank.His Remarkable Predictions and Trading Record'.

 

In order to verify Gann's trading record, an independent observer monitored Gann's trading during October: During the month of October, 1909, in twenty-five market days, Mr. Gann made, in the presence of our representative, 286 transactions in various commodities & stocks, on both the long and the short side of the market. 264 of these transactions resulted in profits; 22 in losses. The capital with which he operated was doubled 10 times, so that at the end of the month he had 1000% on his original margin.

 

It has been witnessed that he gave in one day 16 successive orders in the same stock, eight of which turned out to be at either the top or the bottom eighth of that particular swing. The above we can positively verify. Such performances as these, coupled with the foregoing, are probably unparalleled in the history of the Street.

Proof the accuracy of your time predictions:

 

Provide the times of the Intraday turning points for the GBPUSD underlying for monday 19th of june in advance !

Small hint: It will be 2 or 3 turning points.

Hi all

 

This is how Gann used to trade. He also knew when to avoid the markets. Please have a look at the attachments for GBPUSD & EURUSD and see how the first few hours were just sideways trading as predicted by the earlier chart.

Sorry, but your prediction of the GBPUSD for the 19th was "UP" and not down !? Did you miss something ?

 

Sixer

 

Do you see any resemblance, you will say, No, because there are inversions. But there is one, and that is Time Cycles. The analysis what Gann did was not that the market would move as per the directions given, rather they were the points in time, when he anticipated that the markets would change current trend.

 

When the market takes specified turn at specified time, then you can expect the trend to exhaust at next turning point.

Correct, inversions occur at the end or beginn of the cycle only.

My Delta intraday count of the 19th for the EURUSD (5 min data) shows 3 inversions:

Edit:

Can you provide a definition of your understanding of "Gann Time Cycles" ?

 

Yes I do agree that inversions do occur at the start or end of cycle, but this is computer-age where systems are hedging/arbitraging or EA's. In Gann's era it was just manual trading. So we need to leverage some on that context.

 

According to Gann in his books (one of my favorite TTTA) he mentions about some trade/time delays in trading. In those time also he used to make some time adjustments during the strong trends and he always used to carry miniature form of SQ9 in his pocket in trading rooms.

 

Since our predictions are based on Time Cycle theory which is 80% based on Gann and rest from other mathematical sources, so we would not be able to help you in that context. But the key to cycles in my opinion is Gann's Squares (especially SQ9) using time value rather than price value.

 

Gann's Square of 9 was not his invention rather he improvised it during his visit to India, as Indians used to do business with SQ9 during seventeenth & eighteenth century. Its also mentioned in vedic mathematics, we also get some examples of Egyptian pyramids and ancient temples in India which are based on principle theory of SQ9. Gann was one of the greatest mathematician trader of his time.

 

Hopefully this will help you.

 

Cheers

Main thing is accuracy whatever rule you use when we talking about forecasting , All knows that "a wrong watch gives right time two time in a day"

 

But you add inversion with watch (invert minute niddle with hour niddle) than you will get 4 right forecast, & if you add second niddle in it than result will be endless. so if forecasting gives accuracy than it worth only.

Yes you are right, wrong clock is right twice.

 

If you read Gann properly, he was know for precise turning points of Cotton/commodities that he traded in with price levels. His charts of 1929 and some others also are of the same view that they predict the turning points of exchanges and not the trend direction. We added some logic using AI to be easily identifiable for the traders that if the instrument is going in any direction, then look for the exhaustion of that trend in Time.

 

Or if the market is trading sideways, then look for the times for next upbar or down bar in terms of Time again, not price. As this would not be available in any trading indicator/system.

RaSon,

 

your question is surely at the wrong place !!

 

But, why are you trading an underlying (Silver) which is manipulated since more than 20 years ago ?

You will always be a looser as a small trader:

Edit:

There are a lot of Commodity sites you should check to get an answer to your actual holding.

Here is a summary of the number of turning points for the different time frames based on Delta/Matrix cycles and the actual cycle count for the S&P 500 chart for 3 different cycles:

I don`t need any Gann stuff to extract time cycles.

Hello bro Sixer,

So do you meant the Delta/Matrix cycles is the one mentioned by Coper and Welles Wilder?

Can you reupload for S&P500 chart again please.

noonw,

 

you will find my STD (Short Term Delta) count of the EURUSD of the last 5 trading in post #969 of this link:

 

https://www.forexfactory.com/showthread.php?p=12278088#post12278088

 

The black numbers are the STD turning points. The vertical lines are the Delta colours for the STD count: One STD cycle represents 4 calendar days with 12 turning points plus inversions. It starts at the orange line.

 

It differs to the solution which the Delta Graphics Intraday software provides. I got my knowledge from one of the Delta Graphics directors.
