Mulligan, Lots of good questions. I dunno. It seems no one else on the thread hitherto knows either. I am vaguely familiar with Gann, but I don't use it my trading.... yet. Message 6850720 One thing Gann said which I have profoundly profited from, in terms of both $ and wisdom, is the phrase..... KNOW THYSELF. I think that was his #1 rule. What does it mean... probably a bunch of things, but imo, it means sticking to things with which you are comfortable. I am convinced there are literally hundreds, if not thousands, of ways to profit from the markets. The key to doing well, imo, is to find the approach that YOU're most comfortable with and sticking to it. Maybe it's Gann... maybe it isn't. Is there something to Gann's stuff.... perhaps. I lean towards yes, BWDIK. Besides I don't really use his stuff in my trading, per se. If you look at Gann and see nothing there, then maybe you are looking at the wrong method. I have no interest in fortune telling. I just want to make some money and have some fun doing it. I agree, that's what I try to do as well. Perhaps a method which affords you the above would fit like a glove on you. The hard part is you yourself will have to find it. FWIW, talk to you later Regards, Frank

Mulligan, There are many who wrote of the same ideas as Gann but it goes unrecognized. All great music and literature contains the same ideas. Richard Bach, in his book Jonathon Livingston Seagull, put it this way: "The trick, according to Chiang, was for Jonathon to stop seeing himself as trapped inside a limited body that had a forty-two inch wingspan and performance that could be plotted on a chart. The trick was to know that his true nature lived, as perfect as an unwritten number, everywhere at once across space and time." Darrin ------------------------------------------------ geocities.com
