How does Gann incorporate time cycles into his trading approach?
How does Gann incorporate time cycles into his trading approach? Over the years, I’ve noticed that price charts can make the market look quite simple and easy to trade. In most cases, the highs and lows are obvious. And during big price moves that lasts a few hours or a few days, it’s easy to see what’s going on and what type of stock is making big moves. But I’ve also noticed that if I get to the bottom of the time/price chart and trade for months, the chart looks a whole lot more complicated. I find trading stocks during strong moves quite difficult at times. A typical length for a price chart is one year. Gann would say that he prefers the high frequency because it can provide investors with greater insight into the markets. In other words, he sees that if you focus on intraday prices only, you don’t get as much information or insight into the markets as there is to be obtained if the trader spans across a year-long period. Therefore, the year-frequency is very important to Gann because it generates more information for the trader to generate insight. Gann’s analysis of the charts for stocks involved in the 2008 financial crisis and the ensuing recovery suggests some interesting lessons — especially to investors who don’t trade for a living. Here’s an interview with Gann — the answers provided are by Gann. I’ve tried to keep the transcript under 300 pages. (Hopefully, I got all of the quotes as well.

) The time between commentary is not nearly as important as the advice Gann provides. So enjoy! 1. When the market was getting good, all the attention was on consumer goods companies, while investors looked the other way at tech and other business goods companies. Are such patterns appearing again? With consumer good companies, there is a constant theme in sales and earnings throughout a good markets cycle: the leading issue for the whole year is usuallyHow does Gann incorporate time cycles into his trading approach? Pit Boss: Time signatures seem so arbitrary, yet they can have an important influence on a trader’s results. We have historically adopted a quarter-hour of opening position trading. The current trend is to extend this opening time to three minutes or twelve minutes. Just when opening a trade, where do you look for trend reversal candidates? What is the correlation between a reversal and a candlestick’s time frame? Roger Gann: You have to be alert to a change in the rate of change at sub-minutes/seconds level. Reversal candidates appear when the rate of change in the direction of the price action slows down considerably. This is the this post of inflection’ or ‘the point of change’. In Figure 2, the moving average is slowing down in crossing a downward trend from the second candle. At the second candle, you can see short-term stochastics are turned down in more recent candles. This may be a clue to the second candle’s weakness that could be further verified by the third candle. The second candle made one of its most important resistance levels.

Subsequently, a decline to the third candle makes it one of the main support points. The candlesticks’ time patterns or, so-called, time intervals, have a serious impact on a trader’s decisions. Gann has found that a longer timeframe allows for more potential that needs to be considered. Hence, price action does not always always play the principal role in the identification of a trend or the signal to enter/exit; other parameters such as time must be considered. Figure 3 presents the effect of differing time frames on price action. Figure 2: Support Level Figure 3: Support/Resistance If Gann uses the sub-minute/seconds timeframe, what implications does it give rise to? Pit Boss: The market isHow does Gann incorporate time cycles into his trading approach? I read some of his interview and I found it similar to someone named Charles Ellis who says that we can not sell our low price too easy and let price do most of the work for us. Gann mostly trades the direction of the monthly high monthly lows/lows. How does he do this? Doesn’t the monthly high/low fluctate over the cycle? Gann seems to be speaking in weeks/months as his time frame. Also what is his view of how the market will not simply make multi year highs and lows every six months? Merrill Lynch, which is the company with which Gann has a contractual agreement, is probably the most secretive of the financial services firms about how they generate their research information and these quotes…. and maybe there is a limit.

.. but let’s say I can be more specific: “How I Trade Monthly closes are derived and printed via a proprietary program that combines time and price data. The method works similarly to the way a human subject matches ascending and descending vertical lines on a graph. The approach is an accurate and reliable way to capture key market behavior on a repeated basis. The tool is very accurate, proprietary math takes care of the human error and idiosyncrasies in the underlying data. The following schedule is part of an enhanced series of historic printouts… ” So this means Gann is generating the report himself and not a system run by a computer program that is in part driven by price data? Also, any more info would be greatly appreciated… Geez.

.. this is one of the coolest tools out there and certainly one of the best that I have ever been able to use in my own trading. Gann seems to be speaking in months and even weeks as his time frame. I think he’s speaking in years for any single trade he’s involved in. Or at least, any one trade that he knows would be a multi year trend, he isn’t involved in that trade because it’s too small and doesn’t fit yet. If you just start tracking this without applying your own money first it’s easy to either trade too often in a single trade or to become overconfident. I think that’s why he just throws caution to the wind and does it one trade at a time. It’s either work or not, but he doesn’t really need to worry about being wrong in his decision. But that also means he might take a lot of smaller trades since he can do them as fast as one trade takes. I’d also read that he doesn’t move his stop order even if at the “peak of the move” so to speak.. he waits for it to clear.

Now that might be something you might consider. Gann doesn’t jump around among stocks. He stands behind good cash flow, income producing properties. Not trying to make something into something where half or more
