Time Factors in the Stock Market by George Bayer is a rare classic that blends esoteric astrology, mathematics, and market forecasting into a unified trading philosophy. Written in 1937 and published by Lambert-Gann, the book explores how planetary influences and cycles of time directly shape the direction and magnitude of stock and commodity movements.
Bayer opens with a preface clarifying that his work is intended for serious traders and investors willing to move beyond conventional chart reading. Unlike typical guides of the era, this book does not dwell on commissions, broker mechanics, or routine speculation advice. Instead, it presents a scientific framework for detecting the direction and distance of swings by studying natural laws and planetary forces.
Central to Bayer’s thesis is the idea that price alone is not the most important determinant—time is. He demonstrates how planetary “rays” influence markets, alternating between beneficial and adverse effects, producing cycles of rallies and declines. By applying methods rooted in astrology, biblical cycles, and natural geometry, he shows how to forecast major turning points well in advance.
The book details unique forecasting techniques, including ellipse methods, time-number cycles, planetary aspects, and ephemeris-based calculations. Bayer illustrates these tools with historical market examples—such as the 1932 bottom and subsequent rally—showing how scientific calculation predicted these events.
While unconventional and often dismissed by “modern” analysts, Bayer’s work remains influential among students of Gann, astro-trading, and cycle research. His insistence on discipline, patience, and alignment with natural time laws provides traders with both a philosophy and practical forecasting methods.
For traders and researchers interested in the intersection of astrology, mathematics, and market speculation, Time Factors in the Stock Market is a seminal text offering a glimpse into the hidden laws guiding financial markets.

Fundamental book. Everything Gann has left veiled, Bayer, his contemporary, explains precisely. Book for those who really want to understand.

This non-traditional book on trading methods is based upon geometric techniques (which are always subject to potential scaling errors), numerology, and stock market astrology. Bayer’s ellipse method is perhaps the most useful system offered in this book, serving as somewhat as a trailing stop-loss indicator. However, Welles Wilder’s parabolic system is more rational and not subject to scaling problems.

Time Factors is an excellent introduction to the methods used by George Bayer. It lays the ground work principles in fairly simple terms which will assist in understanding his other works like ” Stock & Commodity Traders Handbook of Trend Determination”. The first part introduces his ideas and the second section gives details of 4 different systems of forecasting.
By the way, George Bayer was very proud of his market calling history and listed his major successes. His last market letter was titled “Forecast of markets for the month of March 1940”. It begins with “… I have told you about the fellow who used a watertight method from March 1933 to October 21st 1933 wherewith to catch each movement in stocks, but after that date the method just went flooey. A similar condition I am facing at this stage with my stock forecast. As you well know, my stocks forecast while not 100 percent right has been for many years hitting pretty well …” He then went on to re-iterate that his call for January had been wrong, he had previously corrected his call in the February letter, and in the last letter, ie. March 1940, he explained again how he could have got it wrong. The explanation was that ” … I saw immediately that the whole thing was a 100% turnaround face and that is that …”.
I think that this rather learnt man, an expert in many languages and maths, was rather humble. when he makes a mistake, he apologies but moves along. He had actually mentioned that he would finish writing. He seems to have produced his desired number of works as a an educational service to his clients and stopped.
