Gann Cycles: Time & Price Cycle Analysis

The combining of the time and price cycle calculation techniques used in this trading system are the practical application of WD Gann’s statement that “when you know how to use time and price together you know how to trade”.

As a market progress through TIME it will radiate, or to use WD Gann’s term “vibrate” from past high and low points waves into the future much like a pebble tossed into a pond. The more important the high or low then the more important is the cycle. These cycles or waves are fixed in their duration so can be calculated and projected into the future. Gann stated in Tunnel thru the Air, “that in orderto know and predict the future of anything you only have to look up what has happened in the past and get a correct base or starting point” and “…..if you have the correct starting point and know the cycle that is going to be repeated.”

As with time being measured from a past reference point, using the same cycles, so too can price. When a time cycle and a price cycle meet this is where reversals occur. The key to successful trading when using cycles is to coordinate price analysis with time analysis so that when the cycles align on a particular date one can be prepared to take advantage of the possible reversal in trend.
