Pattern, Price & Time: Using Gann Theory in Trading Systems (Wiley Trading) 1st Edition

Many, many thanks to amazon.com for making this book available and to Purple Whale 123 for sending such an excellent hardbound copy. I have trouble understanding such negative reviews; however, it is a lot of WORK. I can think of at least two instances where the company/person should have 1) hired Hyerczyk or company for consulting or 2) simply did the work for several years rather than trading. Several years ago a ethanol company (since gone bankrupt, I think) had hedging losses larger than what they earned in at least one quarter. AND THIS COMPANY WAS IN THE HEART OF CORN COUNTRY!! They knew a lot of farmers. You would think if anyone would know which direction corn/ethanol prices were going, it would have been them. It might pay to hire a professional to do all of these charts......etc.The second instance was a gentleman who made a million dollars, retired, got into trading commodities, lost his million, had to go back to work, and subsequently had a heart attack. He would probably come out ahead if he had simply done the work for several years; he would have been out the time (and money for a few supplies), but that would have been it.I've never forgotten this book. I became aware of it years ago....couldn't afford it.....and was delighted to be able to find it. Would you believe I never forgot the title? Pattern, price and time....is something every trader and would be trader studies constantly.

On the one hand, there are some trivial points explained in excruciating details several times over, yet on the other hand the explanation of the truly unique and interesting features of Gann's method is absolutely incomprehensible.Total waste of money, and - considering the fact that it's a pretty thick book - of reader's time.

Don’t buy this book. Felt like I was in the 70’s two thumbs down

This book serves as a good introduction to the Gann Theory. It explains clearly the basics of Gann Theory: How to use the Swing Charts to identify trends, together with other Gann tools like Gann Angle,Squaring and Anniversaries to determine the likely date/time for Heads or Bottoms (ie. Cycles) and important supports/resistances. With this book, you will be able to grasp the basic framework of Gann Trading. Yet given that the book does not mention the more advanced Gann tools, it only fulfill the introduction/ elementary purpose. So the same price should have bought another book that talks more indepth about the topics. Besides, the book is too repetitive that it seems half of the price is paid to those "copy and paste" pages. I will say, this book deserves five stars if both the price and the pages are cut down by halves.

Nice book.

5 star no review

This is the worst trading analysis book I have ever read. The content is horribly redundant, keeps repeating irrelevant things. It’s been a total waste of time. I paid $59.95 many years ago for the book and forgot about it and just found it out during a recent move. I should have trashed it before the move. Do not buy this book.

I have to agree with the other reviewer this book lacks allot of important info but i guess to a very very new gann student it might serve some pourpose.
