WAR DATES - Are they cycles?
Can they help you make additional profit ?
GANN was a master of Cycles, he believed that everything revolved around them and that everything repeated. I have done sufficient work to prove to myself that this is in fact the case.
Although they may not manifest themselves the same way, the markets will do roughly the same thing, but the visible cause, the thing you will see or the media will report will be different, they ARE NOT the underlying cause. But knowing the dates and linking the dots may be useful.
They can also help you manage your trades. Which is really what my last commentary Forecasting was about .
For example if a credit crisis in one part of the world appeared to cause the last Market crash, it may be political unrest in a different part of the world that appears to causes the next one. IN any case you will see a market crash when its cycle has run out.
One of the things GANN was big on was anniversaries, these in themselves are cycles, so I thought it was timely to write a small not to remind you of a particularly special anniversary today. I will be writing a much longer piece for the Supply and Demand subscribers necxt week, and demonstrate how these things might fit in to the bigger picture and other cycles like the real estate and economic cycles.
So to today. September 1st is 83 years since WW2 commenced - and tomorrow 2nd September marks the anniversary of the cessation of WW2 when Japan surrendered. Both important dates historically.
Why would I put them together here. Look at the dates and have a deeper think about them what do they represent mathematically - remember GANN said “Mathematics was the only true science”.
fret he dates above we can deduce WW2 ran for 6 years and 1 day.
6 years is 72 months, 72 its half of GANNS famous 144 count, which is 12 squared.
Can you see the connection?
I have written this to demonstrate how many of the things GANN appears to mention abstractly or randomly are in fact connected - you just need to look at it from a different perspective.
If you look at the Indices today, ive used the DOW chart here, you can see a clear reaction . A reversal bar. If you are interested look ay 1 September 1939 this too was a swing. The cycle I showed in the previous Blog also put in a swing within a day or so.
Note:
• We are 1/4 of a year +/- 90 calendar days from the June 1 swing .
This was an important time frame to GANN.
• The Dow retracement is currently supported at 66% of the run up from June 17.
• The low price was directly related to the current high price on the SQ 9 another of GANNS tools.
Will this be a final low in this move, probably not, but if you were in the short trade based on GANNS rules, armed with this knowledge and the fact it likes to swing early in the month, you might have tightened you stops and made a little more money, I did. If you are an intraday trader you could have been long within a few points of the low.
Further these cycles repeat in the form of conflict, applying this knowledge can have you armed and prepared for moves in your respective markets.
The trick is knowing what to look for, when, and without confusing yourself .
And more important having a tested plan to utilise the knowledge and trade it.
Knowledge is power, and it takes time to build knowledge, and more time to figure how to use it.
Promises of blue sky are great - Profit in the bank is better.
May the GoFR be with you.
