Balance, harmony, and proportion are evident in everything around us. These principles are the foundation of the WD Gann Mathematical Trading Methods.

Gann’s statement might sound complex to those new to trading, but fear not! This article aims to break it down and bring it home to beginners and seasoned traders alike.

When Gann states, ‘Everything in existence is based on exact proportion and perfect relationship,’ he explains the harmony that runs through every element of our universe. It is one of the fundamental concepts of his mathematical trading methods.

As planets move in cyclical orbits and seeds sprout into plants following a similar logic, the world of financial markets also works according to its principles.

For Gann, the stock market wasn’t a game of luck and chance but an orderly universe of predictability governed by laws that never change. He believed, ‘The mathematical principles of the highest order lie at the foundation of all things.’

What does this mean for traders?

It indicates that understanding these mathematical principles can unlock profitable patterns in market movements.

Within the chaos and noise of daily trading lies a foundation of mathematical principles that create rhythms and patterns. Understanding these patterns can help one achieve success in the markets.

That’s the fundamental essence of the WD Gann Mathematical trading methods. He used geometric and numerical relationships, similar to musical harmony between different notes, to accurately predict price movements. He developed unique trading techniques such as ‘Gann angles,’ ‘Square of Nine,’ and ‘Price time squaring.’

For instance, let’s look at the Gann Price time squaring method. Gann views time and price as two sides of the same coin.

According to the Gann Price time squaring concept, a significant price change occurs when time (in days, weeks, or months) squares with a significant price level. Or a reversal in market trends can happen when the price on a particular day squares with a specific amount of time from a critical market top or bottom.

As we look deeper into the trading world of WD Gann, the markets appear less like a game of chance and more like a precise balance of numbers and geometry. Yet, fully appreciating and using these principles requires understanding mathematics and an openness to seeing markets differently.

However, the Gann theory is not a magic formula that guarantees success.

They are tools to enhance understanding and provide an in-depth perspective on market behaviour. As with any trading strategy, the results depend on how well the user knows what he’s doing.

This brief introduction to the WD Gann Mathematical trading methods might spark your curiosity and a desire to learn more.

Through this exploration, better decisions can be made, and a deeper understanding of the market can be gained. It is the path to transforming yourself from a casual trader to a trader who can predict market behaviour mathematically.
