It's been a couple of days since I've been here and see there are some messages. Rather than reply individually and have several posts in a row, I'll quote everybody in this comment and answer each after the hyphens.
Ahmed999888, you asked: "
Ok...thanks...one more question...and it is the most important...were you able to solve Gann's mystery ?" -
I haven't been able to solve
anything to do with Gann and as I stated in my first message on this thread, I am highly sceptical that there actually IS a mystery to be solved.
I came into trading to make money, not to get lured into occult, Indiana Jones type rabbit holes. When I started out, like everyone else, I had no knowledge and so the natural thing to do was to look around and try to acquire that knowledge from others who claim to have everything figured out. The first thing I noticed was that there are a multitude of so called experts out there who profess that they have such understanding. The second thing I noticed was that they were all willing to SELL those 'secrets' for exorbitant sums. I wanted to MAKE money, not PART with it... especially as I had no way of knowing the truth or falsehood of the claims being made in advance.
As would-be traders we should consider that every decision in life is A TRADE. Do I go left or right? Do I marry this girl or not? Do I fart at the funeral or not? Do I spend thousands of (in my case) pounds on a book? Ignorant as I was of the business, I still knew that this was too risky and if there were other ways around it then I go those routes instead. At that time torrents and peer-to-peer applications like Limewire were coming into vogue, so I amassed a lot of PDFs, videos, software, etc, that way. I always said that if any of it was of use to me then I'd honestly reimburse the creators legitimately. The horrible realisation that I came away with was that 99% of it was worthless.
Eventually (around 2005) I got in with a group of economic news traders and was able to make a good deal of cash trading news spikes for a few seconds at a time using specialised FIX API software connected to Bloomberg, Reuters, Selerity and several other high end digital news providers. This served me well until 2020, when the world went nuts. Thankfully, I've made enough money now that I really don't have to worry anymore. I'm certainly not **rich**, but I am affluent enough to just 'play' these days. So essentially I've come full circle and that's why I'm here.
I have friends that are die hard Gann fans, but none of them have made a penny and as much as I hate to say it, I don't think they ever will. While I don't pretend to be all knowing and would love for someone to definitively prove otherwise, I really feel that there is no value in pursuing Gann as a course of study if your goal is to seriously make money trading. You can argue and shout me down if you wish (and you may be right!), but when all is said and done ask yourself honestly if you feel in any way better as a trader from having read all this stuff? If the answer is yes then great; I applaud you and will humbly tell you to continue on your own path. But if you've spent considerable time already trying to decipher geometric angles and squaring charts and astrological configurations and coded language and musical notation and mathematical growth spirals and numerology and Biblical verses and masonic symbolism and radio wave frequencies and the structure of pyramids and grey aliens penchant for messing with cows... and STILL not made any effing money, then my advice would be to stop in your tracks right now and re-evaluate what you're doing.
The bottom line is this: The market goes up and the market goes down. It does both, just not at the same time. Do you really need to spend your life trying to figure out something incredibly complex and which may not actually be real or do you want to focus on simpler, more practical and down to earth methods of making money? The choice is yours.
Trueone, you asked for the Baumring and Nirenstein stuff. No problem. I'll upload it later. I still don't know what the policy is here for pasting download links openly into the forum, so I'll wait a day to see if any of the Admin team say no. If they don't have a problem with it then I'll have it for you by tomorrow. Watch this space!
Goldentrader, you asked: "
Can I please get the Chronocrators book?" - I'll need to check to see that I actually do have it. If so then see the previous paragraph to Trueone.
Lastly, regarding
DonSpaghett's YouTube person, I've never seen this one before. But that's my point... there's always a new guru popping up every five minutes who purports to have access to the 'secret knowledge' and for the relatively small sum of $$$$$, you TOO can share that secret. LOL They're all cockroaches and the reason I collect their courses for zero or close to zero money is simply to screw them over. Other folk collect stamps or baseball cards, I collect worthless Gann trash.
