Who is W.D. Gann?

$50 Million in Trading Profits in his lifetime - Incredible!

William Delbert Gann, better known the world over as W.D. Gann, is a legend in the world of stock and commodity trading. He was one of the most successful stock and commodity traders that ever lived.

Using his own style of technical analysis, W.D. Gann took more than 50 million dollars in profits out of the markets! In today’s markets that would be closer to 500 million dollars! After many decades of incredible trading success, WD Gann moved to Miami, Florida where he continued his writings and studies up until his death on June 14, 1955.

Mr. Gann based his trading methods on "time", rather than on "price", like so many systems of today. This made it possible for Mr. Gann to determine not only when a trend change was imminent, but also what the best price would be to enter, or exit that market.

So accurate are Mr. Gann's techniques that in the in the presence of representatives of a major financial publication, he made 286 trades in a period of 25 market days, on both the long and short sides of the market. Of these, 264 trades were profitable!. In 1933 Mr. Gann made 479 trades during the year. 422 were winners and 57 were losers. The return on his capital was a staggering 4000%.

Throughout his entire career, Mr. Gann consistently repeated these incredible trading feats, issuing amazing forecasts in a number of markets one year in advance.

WD Gann's use of Natural Law and geometric proportions based on the circle, square, and triangle are as effective today in the Stock Market and Commodities Markets as they were 50 years ago. His techniques work in any market and in any time-frame. His methods seem a bit unusual and even mystical to many traders, but they have proven themselves time and again over the past century.
