William D. Gann

W.D. Gann was a legendary trader who claimed to forecast markets decades in advance using geometry, mathematics, and astrology. This episode, “Forecasting with Gann: The Geometry of Markets,” explores his belief that markets, like nature, move according to hidden mathematical laws and rhythms.

He developed tools still used today, including Gann angles (measuring time/price balance), time cycles (repeating market intervals), and the “law of vibration.”

In an era without computers, his methods were controversial. Yet, in a famous 1909 test monitored by Ticker magazine, Gann reportedly made 286 trades with over 90% accuracy. This episode explores the man who saw structure in chaos and whose greatest lesson remains discipline, pattern recognition, and finding structure in uncertainty.
