Dr. Hans Hannula, PhD, RSA, CTA
prepared Feb. 6, 1992
No one person has spawned more market folklore than W. D. Gann. Every issue of every
market magazine has ads for courses that in one way or another reveal a GANN SECRET.
Most of these courses are standard Gann material, based on one of Gann’s courses or
some letters, or someone who knew Gann, etc. With everyone out selling all these
secrets, how can there be any left?
Well, there is. Most people who are out selling Gann material (1) don't really understand it,
and (2) haven't done their own homework on it. What you are about to read not only
shows you one of Gann’s Greatest Secrets, but tracks it to its source, analyses it, applies
it, and extends it When you are finished, you will have a whole new appreciation for Bill
Gann, if not as a trader, as a student of the forces that move the markets.
| assume that by now you have read every book written by Gann, and maybe taken a
Gann course or so. | will not cover any of Gann’s work available elsewhere, such as Gann
angles, squares, etc. | prefer to provide you something totally unique. That's how | add
value.
This is a journey more than a report. You are to be involved, think, and participate. | will
lead you down the path, show you a few things, and challenge your mind. | expect you to
study carefully, think about what you read, and figure out how to integrate it into you own
market activities. Now let us begin.
Gann’s Master 20 Year Forecast Chart
Figure 1 is an admittedly poor copy of Gann's 20 Year Forecasting Chart. If you study it
very carefully, you will see that it is a plot of the Dow Industrials, repeated every 20 years.
It starts at 1901 and plots prices to 1920, then starts again at 1921 and plots to 1940, etc.
So what was Gann doing? He was simply looking for the Jupiter/Saturn cycle in stocks.
Throughout his life, this is the one chart that Bill Gann always kept up to date. If you
haven't learned yet that Bill Gann was an astrologer, you now know. Financial astrology
has for scores of years, long before Gann’s time, held that Jupiter was the Bull of
Business, and Saturn the Bear.
So itis very logical for Mr. Gann to be trying to find the JS (Jupiter/Saturn) cycle in stocks.
fone starts a chart when J and S are in a line on the same side of the Sun (called a
conjunction), as they were in 1901, and plots prices as Jupiter moves around and again
catches up with the slower moving Saturn, you have plotted price versus one JS "synodic"
(coming together) cycle. If you repeat this for five or more cycles, and then "stack" thepreure 1.
