Summary: Don't waste your time!
Comment: Gann was a good trader and self-promoter but was a lousy writer! He was supposed to have had a mystical key which unlocked the future movements of the markets. He never disclosed the mechanics of this key to his students, associates, or family members. Some of his forecasts were astounding while others were simply asinine. There is supposed to be a secret of market prognostication hidden in this book which might become apparent after the third reading. However, it is not likely that any but the most determined reader could get through this literary equivalent of a trip to the dentist's office more than once.
Much of Gann's reputation came from an article that Richard D. Wyckoff wrote in 1909 describing Gann's trading skills. However, it should be noted that Wyckoff wrote twenty years after this article that the greatest trader he had ever known was Jesse Livermore - not W. D. Gann! (Furthermore, Gann was not included in Wyckoff's top three traders!) I have known several Gann-type traders over the years but, aside from their hype, have never witnessed any great market foresight coming from these practitioners. In my observation, the most successful Gann-type traders appear to be trend-followers.
I have found that it is dangerous to bring preconceptions to the market place. The market is neither right nor wrong - it just IS! Preconceptions cause one to try to catch swing tops and bottoms. This is a hazardous, often financially-fatal practice. It is much safer to go with the flow. Trade with what you are experiencing - not because your forecast indicates that SPX should be trading at 1100 at 10:00AM on September 3.

Summary: Far different from what I expected. A "Bible Code" book
Comment: This is the first Gann book I ever read. I expected it to be some kind of trading book that taught me about how one of the most famous traders of the last century developed and applied his technique like the Gann Line on the market, or something close to Reminiscences of a Stock Operator. However, this is a fiction of how somebody picking sentences here and there from the Bible, making propheses and earning bucks of gold in commodities markets.
I have been a Baptist for half of my life and I study Bible intensely. I certainly would appreciate other traders to turn to Christ as their personal Savior. I just dont buy into that "Bible Code" type of stuff and take the Bible as a means of fortune telling for money making.
Still I will go to read other Gann book in the future. However, I just cant recommend this as a trading book to anyone at all.

Summary: Esoteric Masterpiece on Market Behaviour
Comment: There are certain literary endeavours which have several layers of meaning imbedded in them. This profound book is a very valuable key to economic independence. It requires patience and hard work and probably a life devotion to unwinding its esoteric meaning. Do not expect to read this once and obtain an understanding of what it means. This book requires a good deal of background in esoteric matters such as Astrology and Kabbalism; it also requires diligence because every line must be combed for veiled meanings. There is no quick scheme for riches here. If you enjoy learning, exploring and growing this book will reward you. If you are looking for a get rich quick thing I don't think you will appreciate this work. To the discerning reader, I would suggest that once you have attained Mastery of all this, the irony is that the obtention of the riches becomes almost irrelevant, since you have obtained a wealth that far exceeds that of the mundane world!
