William D. Gann

It’s an almost-magical chart that has accurately predicted more than 90% of stock and real estate market movements for the past 100 years and has the ability to predict market changes through an infinite future. It’s based primarily on the numerological change of the moon’s angle that occurs every 18.6 years. Few are aware of its existence. Skeptical? Economist Fred Foldvary used the chart to predict the devastating 2008 recession – more than a decade before it happened. In 1997, he wrote:

“The next major bust, 18 years after the 1990 downturn, will be around 2008, if there is no major interruption such as a global war.”

Gann’s chart successfully predicted the historical stock market lows in 1914, 1933, 1952, and 1970. It predicted the Great Depression.

WD Gann’s magical Financial Time Table

Hailing from Lufkin, Texas, William Delbert Gann, or WD Gann as he like to be called, was highly educated, highly religious, and a 33rd degree Freemason of the Scottish Rite Order, a distinction which granted him access to knowledge of ancient mathematics and numerology.

In 1909, using mathematics combined with astronomical charts, Gann developed a financial technical analysis tool called the Gann Financial Time Table. The chart uses geometric angles in stock price graphs, time cycles, astronomical cycles, and the angular position of the moon to form predictions. When his table was first published in 1909, financial analysts were skeptical even though Gann had already accumulated more than $50 million in profits (in 1930’s dollars) using the system.

To quieten skeptics, Gann enlisted a major financial publication to track a series of trades. Over the course of 25 days, Gann placed 286 trades. 264 of those trades were profitable – a 92% success rate! Analysts soon found that not only could the chart predict stock market prices, including what price to buy into and when to exit the position, but also the years of recessions, depressions, panics, real estate prices, commodity prices, labor strikes, and much more.

Today we know Gann’s chart has accurately predicted stock prices for over 100 years and real estate prices for over 200 years. Even Harvard professor Teo Nicolais confirmed the system works:

“Perhaps the most stunning aspect of the cycle is not its inevitability but rather its regularity. Economists, through a detailed study of the Chicago and broader US real estate markets, found that the real estate cycle has run its course according to a steady 18-year rhythm since 1800.”

The enigmatic lunar cycle used in Gann’s Financial Time Table

One the most unusual aspects of Gann’s chart is its use of the angle of the moon’s north pole. It’s an astronomical movement called “lunar standstill”, when the range of the declination of the moon (measured by altitude) reaches a maximum – the moon’s equivalent of a solar solstice. It’s the same event that held special significance for those who built megalithic monuments in Britain, Ireland, and South America. It’s also the cycle believed to have influenced the formation of ancient Masonic law.

The moon completes this cycle every 18.6 years which for whatever reason, does indeed coincide with major market movements, both stock and the well-known real estate cycle, which experience significant fluctuations every 18 years and 8 months.

Other principles taught by WD Gann

Although primarily based on the 18-year lunar standstill cycle, Gann also insisted that his method be used within a framework of rules – a financial code that must be considered when executing financial transactions. Specifically, he noted the following:

1. Time cycles determine when a stock reversal will occur – not divergences as commonly believed.
2. Government interference (e.g. interest rate changes, major wars) introduces artificial stimulus which may disrupt the naturally-occurring financial cycle.
3. The number “3” appears often in stock market actions and must be held in consideration when making calculations and decisions. For instance, do not enter the market on the third day of a price move.
4. Watch for significant days in the solar year, specifically December 22, March 21, June 22, and September 21 – and for events exactly 15 days after those dates.
5. Significant stock market evens are also related to specific time numbers which may impact the lunar cycle measurement.
   1. Number of calendar days from a price move: 30, 45, 60, 90, 135, 150, 180, 210, 225, 315, 330 and 360 (calendar days).
   2. Number of trading days from a price move: 11, 22, 33, 45, 56, 67, 78, 90, 101, 112, 123, 135, 146, 157, 168 and 180
   3. Number of weeks between events: 13, 26, 39, 45, 52, 78
   4. Number of months between events: 6, 12, 144
