Gann Simplified By Clif Droke pdf

This book reminds me of tricks I used to use in high school when typing up essays to make them appear longer than they really were.
First of all, the book is sparse at just under 100 pages of text. On top of that, a large font and 1.5 spacing is used. To top it off, about 2/5 of the page is set aside for a ‘margin’, in which the publisher occasionally re-prints some of the text from the rest of the page in bold…I guess like a highlight reel or something.
If you’re looking for a Cliff’s notes on Gann, this is your book. Anything more than that, beware, this book is a COMPLETE waste of money. There can’t be more than 40 (real) pages of content in this thing…and the content…nothing I didn’t already know about Gann’s methods reading Investopedia articles.
Choose another book.

If you are completely unaware of WD Gann’s work and theories, Droke’s book might be a good entry door for what concerns the “geometrical” part of his work. But remember, it’s just the door; Mr. Gann’s work is complex and far more difficult to master than the contents of this booklet may let you think.
Read it and then, if still interested, go for more thorough studies.

I bought the book several years ago and read it now and then. Less complicated doesn’t mean less useful. I realized that many of my losing trades could have been avoided if I had followed the simplified Gann rules.
I read many trading books and was pulled in too many directions, so much so that I forgot the basic Gann rules most of the times. Applying what it’s in the book isn’t as simple. What I really want to do is bind the Gann rules at my finger tips.

This concise book covers the basics of the trading methodologies used and preached by the famed WD Gann. It’s a quick read, and a useful tool for the Gann novice, primarily focusing on his more accessible Angles, trading rules, and methods for determining accumulation/distribution. There’s a brief passage on his nebulous Law of Vibration, but not much focus on his more controversial astrological and biblical methods of price forecasting, which is probably to this book’s benefit since such prognostication tools are of questionable value to actual traders.
One complaint is the constant repitition of long blocks of text in the margin. One reads the main text, notices text in the margin, and sees it’s the same thing again. I would have rather seen a few quotes selectively incorporated every five pages or so, as I found the repetition distracting and of little value. Also, this book carries the typical trading book premium, so I’d recommend readers look to pick it up for a little less than the asking price.
