Trading with TIME .....
Hi folks.
Are you an investor, short-term trader
or even a daytrader ..... ???
Whatever mode of analysis we use (FA or TA),
the common goal is to optimize our trade
entries and exits ..... yes???
No matter what time-frame you choose
to trade, your trading win/loss ratio
will improve dramatically, by analyzing
the TIME axis on your charts ....
..... and the reason for the improvement
is easy to understand when we consider,
that PRICE is always VARIABLE, whereas
TIME is always CONSTANT and therefore,
easier to analyze.
Posts ahead may help some traders get
a handle on some basic market-timing
tools, that can be helpful in analyzing
ANY market.
-----
Father of time cycle analysis was W D Gann
hisself, who wrote the Ticker Digest, from
1909 onwards.
As well as being a successful market analyst
and trader, he was also an astrotrader and
a prolific writer (fortunately for us).
-----
We will also look at some of the tools Gann
developed and how they STILL APPLY to our
markets, today.
More later .....
happy trading all
yogi
P.S. ..... proud to be a messenger and astrotrader.

Hi folks,
Most chartists focus on the price axis of their
charts, which is shown as a variable value .....
..... and that's fine, except it is really only giving
us half of the information available in any chart.
W D Gann showed us how to analyze the TIME
axis, which always progresses at a CONSTANT
rate ..... and nothing has changed about the
TIME cycles for millions of years ... every year
the cycles repeat, like clockwork.
Your own birthday is a simple example, it comes
around on the same day, every year ..... yes?
But, the best part about time cycles may lay in
the fact that NO MAN can change them ... !~!
-----
By applying some simple technical tools to the
TIME axis, some simple time cycles can be
revealed, in ANY market.
Each market has its own, individual vibration or
trigger points that will likely produce moves on
the price scale.
These time cycles may be static, fixed term cycles
or they may appear to be dynamic in the way they
appear on the charts.
Likewise, some time cycles will trigger positive
market moves and other cycles will mark the
start/end of a negative move.
Some time cycles will be more likely to produce
news or announcements, while others may simply
mark the breakout/breakdown of the price.
-----
If we know WHEN to trade, then price is relegated
to the function of calculating profits/losses.
-----
Because of its variable nature, price will move at a
different rate to time ..... sometimes price will
accelerate ahead of time, until it reaches an extreme,
then it must pause or pullback to wait for time to
catch up.
Conversely, price can also fall behind the time
constant and eventually there will be an explosive
move to make up the difference.
Gann also showed us, that when PRICE and TIME
come together, there will likely be a change in trend.
-----
However, TIME is not the exclusive domain of the
chartist ..... as it is measured independent of the
price inputs, the fundamentalists can also use
these time cycles to anticipate likely dates for
trade entries and exits.
It is now known, that such cycles are triggered
on different days of the year for different markets
and some will be more positive than others.
Any market analysis should be aimed at providing
us with better market timing ..... that is, WHEN
should we buy and WHEN should we sell?
When you ask fundamentalists to analyze a market,
they may be able to justify a fair price, based on
a myriad of complex theories, but most of them
cannot tell you WHEN this is likely to happen.
Well, time cycles are also good news for the
fundamentalists, as they can quite accurately
determine WHEN announcements and other
news may hit the marketplace ..... forewarned,
is forearmed ... yes?
..... and even better news for them, the time
cycles can be quickly figured, without looking
at any charts !~!
-----
No matter what trading approach may be taken,
there's some major advantages of using time cycles,
not least of which, is staying ahead of the trading
masses ..... ?
Knowing WHEN to trade is, at least as important,
as the price being traded, no matter whether we
are buying or selling ... !~!
-----
So, back to EBR, this week's short-term time cycles
may keep EBR flat-to-down, while the December
cycles look to be more positive.
-----
Having had plenty of experience trading with time
cycles, their uncanny accuracy never ceases to
amaze me.
-----
For the skeptix ..... read the AYO thread here, where
a long time cycle on 25102004 was posted well in
advance ..... and then, look at AYO today.
..... another one of great interest is HDR.
In May, time cycles were posted for a breakout in
HDR on 01 June 2004 and a likely high, around
06 August 2004 ..... price targets posted at that
time were 2.35 and 3.10 ..... and about 40 Perth
Traders can verify the same information was
given to them, at their May 04 breakfast meet.
..... maybe, you would like to check your
HDR chart now .....

Learn about astrotrading from your own library .....
Hi folks,
So you want to be a full-time astrotrader of stocks and
commodities, to earn a regular income and maintain
the lifestyle you have enjoyed, in the past.
Some of you have been researching Gann's work for
years with little success, yet you persevere in the
hunt for the "holy grail of trading."
To help you out on this project, you may be surprised
to learn of some books, that my own research has found
relevant to the search.
You will surely find some of the historical stuff interesting,
though learning financial astrology may be a lonley road
for some traders.
-----
When you start down this route of time analysis you have
probably learned the basic elements of astrology, then
shifted your focus to financial astrology ..... yes?
If you have taken this route, a good tip is to leave
the man-made stuff (houses) behind and just focus on
the god-given maths and geometry, associated with the
harmony of the spheres.
As part of my own research on time cycle analysis, to
evaluate the TIME axis on the price charts, my journey
through a mountain of books has resulted in culling
many modern astrology books, in favour of some
authors from the late 1800s and early 1900s.
-----
Gann's booklist and his own written work was the
primary catalyst for this attention and it may
help you, if you read some of these books for
yourself .....
-----
W.D.Gann's and Sepharial's books and more .....
Astrologer Walter Gorn-Old (Sepharial),
Lyman Stowe, Raphael and the Bible
Gann lived from 1878 to 1954, so Sepharial,
Raphael and Stowe were contemporaries.
So what books were most influential, in my research?
-----
"Tunnel thru the Air" - W.D. Gann - 1927
... and all books on Gann's own reading list.
"Kabala of Numbers - Part I & II" - Sepharial 1914
"The Science of Foreknowledge" - Sepharial 1918
"The Silver Key" - Sepharial 1921?
"The Shu King" - Sepharial 1904
"The Numbers Book" - Sepharial
"Transits and Planetary Periods" - Sepharial 1920
"Cosmic Symbolism" - Sepharial 1912
"Wheel of Life or Scientific Astrology" - Maurice Wemyss
"Raphael's Mundane Astrology" - Raphael 1905
"Bible Astrology" - Lyman Stowe - 1907
"Vibration" ..... Mrs L Dow Balliett - 1905 & 1925
"Day of Wisdom" - Mrs L Dow Balliett - 1917
"Ancient and Modern Worship" - H.A Beidy 1929
"Numerology Made Plain" - Ariel Von Taylor 1930
"Message of the Stars" - Max Heindel 1927
"The Two Keys" - Elbert Benjamin (C.C. Zain)
Tetrabiblos - Ptolemy
Bible
Oahspe - Dr John Newborough 1882
Also, old astrology books by C.E.O Carter, Alan Leo,
Lewis Howard, Donald A Bradley and more .....
Corinne Helinne, C.C. Zain and Max Heindel wrote
huge volumes of valuable information for their
respective organisations and astrologers, generally.
-----
Modern books that may help, too:
"The Pythagorean Sourcebook" - Kenneth Guthrie 1987
"The Astrologer's Astronomical Handbook" - Jeff Mayo 1965
"Sacred Geometry" - Robert Lawlor 1982
"Sacred Geometry" - Miranda Lundy - 1998
"Sun, Moon and Earth" - Robin Heath - 1999
=====
Financial astrology also requires a basic knowledge of
traditional technical analysis, so here's some reference
books, in that regard:
Japanese Candlesticks - Steve Nison
How to chart your way to success - Merrill Armstrong
Introduction to Technical Analysis - Martin Pring
-----
Of course, now that my own books have been completed
on Gann's work, my appreciation of his own research
and astrotrading methods is much greater.
My own work proves without any doubt, the existence
of the astrological bible codes and how Gann translated
them into a tradable system for any marketplace.
Really hope this has helped you some.
have a great day

Oh let me guess, we can either buy all those books some of which are clearly out of print OR I bet that Yogi is going to tell us he is prepared to sell us his book at a special, special price

Hi folks,
Isn't it par for the course, that some
people have done no study into the
natural sciences, yet they open mouths
to shout their ignorance to the world?
-----
For those critics of my methods .....
How is my list of picks going for the
ASX 2004 competition (on this site),
all picked at the beginning of 2004?
... and where are you placed, in
that same competition?
Ooops, could it be you did not even make
the cut for the ASX competition here ...?
..... and not for last year, either !~!
Well speaking for my own results, my trading
methods would at least appear to be consistent.
In the top ten in last year's competition, here
..... and close to the TOP of the ladder this
year (thanks to CUE and others), with only a
month left in the calendar year .....
Hope you make the cut for next year's competition,
if you trade at all, that is .....

GOODLUCK my friend, The people that win competitions like this are people that pick outsiders and hope for the best. Give out a few predictions the way i do, and lets see how good you are. I will be the first to say well done, and study what you do but until then content to do it my way. ALL THE BEST MACDUNK.

Hi folks,
Let's clarify the terminology of "Natural Squares", as used by
REAL Gann traders, as opposed the tripe, that some Gann
vendors have been presenting to us .....
..... first, an example of a natural square of whole numbers may be
3969 = 63 x 63, which is the level the Aussie XJO backed down
from, on Monday ... 06 December 2004.
-----
Now, in Gann's day he subdivided the range between the whole
numbers into eighths, as it presented an easy way to relate to the
price, with regard to the mathematics of calculating square roots.
Markets at that time were also traded in fractions, which were
multiples of 64ths, including eighths.
With the advent of computers, it is now easier to divide the range
between the whole numbers, into decimal format or tenths.
It matters not, the principle of natural squares remains constant
and here's a current example:
..... on the daily SnP500 chart, at the link below, we can see that
the lowest CLOSE in August 04, was as follows:
Date: 08/12/2004 O=1075.80 H=1075.80 L=1062.80 C=1063.25
... and the low on that day was just a 4 ticks off the natural square
of 32.6 x 32.6 = 1062.76 ..... but, the market was not satisfied, as
next day it did not start to recover, until it had transited 1062.76
... TWICE in that day, which was also the low in that major swing.
Date: 08/13/2004 O=1063.25 H=1067.60 L=1060.70 C=1064.80
-----
To keep this brief, we move up to the next significant high, on
the equinox 21 September 2004:
Date:09/21/2004 O=1122.20 H=1131.55 L=1122.20 C=1129.30
..... and what can we see, on this important date?
Close that day was the highest, since the August low, at
32.6 squared and it finished just a few ticks above
33.6 x 33.6 = 1128.96 or exactly ONE WHOLE SQUARE,
from the August low, at 32.6 squared.
-----
We will not bore you with every rally and pullback since
then, but we should point out, that the 25 October 04 low
came in, fractionally above 33 squared.
-----
Now, let's move on to the recent most recent high, on
03 December 2004 ..... and surprise, surprise, the market
finished off its highs that day .....
Date:12/03/2004 O=1190.35 H=1197.45 L=1187.70 C=1191.15
..... just as it reached 34.6 squared or 1197.16, TWO
WHOLE SQUARES, up from the August lows.
-----
So looking forward, where can we expect support in SnP500... ???
Using natural squares alone, we would expect an ambush,
just above 34 squared, at about 1156, similar to the
October 2004 low at 33 squared ..... to narrow this down
a bit further, read on .....
..... by using another simple astrotool, we have already identified
a pivot level, at 1180 (see previous post) ... so from 1180 to
the 1197.45 high, there's a range of 17.45 ... so, if we accept
that 1180 is a real pivot level, we may expect some support
at about 1180-17.45 = 1162.55
That now gives us a zone of 1156-1162.55, using TWO
DIFFERENT Gann tools .....
Of course, we can refine this even further, if we use proper
astroanalysis of the TIME axis on the chart, in the way Gann
intended it to be used .....
Hope this helps some.
happy trading all
