Description
An updated look at applying W. D. Gann's controversial trading concepts to all major markets
W. D. Gann continues to be one of the most controversial figures in technical analysis. Despite his detractors, his theories remain fundamentally solid, and have been successfully adapted by several generations of traders. In this authoritative text, expert technician James Hyerczyk presents a straightforward overview of Gann Theory, its basic principles, and its proper applications in creating profitable trading systems. Hyerczyk examines, in complete detail, such essentials as swing charts and trend indicators, percentage retracements, Gann angles, and cycle dates. With fresh information about how to use price scales when charting forex, equity, and ETF markets, as well as discussions on how to calculate Gann angles for each market, this Second Edition of Pattern, Price and Time is a must-read for anyone looking to thoroughly understand-and successfully implement-one of the most important and powerful trading methods in existence.
James A. Hyerczyk (Palos Park, IL) is commodity trading advisor and President of J.A.H. Research and Trading, which publishes a daily, weekly, and monthly advisory service on the futures, forex, ETF, and equities markets.
