The insights just keep on coming thick and fast!

Firstly to give an idea of how simple, elegant and consistently accurate this core concept is, here is a chart with multiple examples marked up, there are so many it becomes a little messy and some had to be left off! In this chart below of CHFJPY, no less than 7 times in a row this pendulum motion technique produced a near touch perfect reversal pivot (red circles). In every case without fail, the price action reversals from the pendulum motion lines are extremely accurate and in most cases a large trend continuation leg follows. The angles applied are almost always a primary single line technique. Did we mention yet this system is nice and simple to the point of being completely idiot proof?

XJO multiple pendulum effects, continual touch perfect major reversals!

This XJO chart has been prepared set to a scale calculated to suit the pendulum motion techniques. However the actual scale was deliberately altered slightly to preserve integrity of the method.  All lines remain true.  EVERY MAJOR SWING on this chart was defined PRECISELY by the core pendulum motion technique.  ‘Reverse’ pendulum motion is also shown above by the purple lines.

After the required scaling step is completed initially, the chart never needs rescaling for all of the following techniques and this is exactly how they appear in the chart above.

Pendulum motion is a real phemonenon in the market, Gann said it, Baumring said it, now in this new book the maths, method, scaling key, logic and further geometric templating are being clearly and thoroughly explained.  This example is a little busy with lines but the point is to illustrate the sheer power and consistent symmetrical perfection of the law of  pendulum motion!  Sometimes you need to remind yourself these were pre-drawn lines before the price-time reactions at the arrows, just look at the crazy number of touch perfect pivot reversals and most of this is from ONE single line technique!!

IMPORTANT NOTE: THIS IS NOT THE ENTIRE SYSTEM, ONLY CORE ANGLES

1. Initial Green Impulse Vector.  The core technique angles, the two large green pendulum motion based angles are plotted next.  These are the primary pendulum angle of balance and secondary angle of overbalance (Angle of Critical Support or ACS line).  As you can see for yourself every major swing is unveiled in the sequence of elegant geometry to follow using only primarily a single balancing line technique, the key is to this the scaling method.
2. Price drops to the secondary overbalance angle and reverses precsiely on the line.  A purple vector parallel to the green overbalance line is added to the low of the retracement vector and this is then used for a ‘reverse pendulum’ set up back the other way, the steeper purple line that catches the next top to perfection!  This time the vector acts differently due to this being a ‘reverse vector’ application.  Price follows the vector along as a direction finder! Note the top of the rebound leg finishes precisely at the purple reverse pendulum line after price has ‘balanced’ symmetrically either side of this line as it travels along it.
3. New smaller red impulse down begins new retracement, primary red pendulum angle again catches the precise reversal at the next top.
4. Price drops to solid green primary pendulum angle related to initial impulse vector for another precise reversal.
5. Another purple ‘reverse pendulum’ setup catches the next top as a direction finder.
6. A set of blue vectors catches the precise primary pendulum motion reversal at the next major top.  This is the only ‘special case’ technique here to catch a swing end point slightly different to the standard approach.  This type of pendulum motion is not normally used for trading set ups, but is included here for interest.
7. A set of green primary pendulum angles catches the next low again to perfection!
8. The next ‘reverse pendulum’ has caught one top already althoughj price action is still riding this vector for now.  The top was also given by the red primary pendulum angle swing back from the retracement to the initial impulse vector (large lines red set).  Note the near perfect revesal on this red angle in both price and time, in other words price reversed happened right at the very tip of the vector!  This end pont was necessary to balance the forces of the red major angles, plus re-balance the price action either side of the purple direction finder vector.
9. Next price has crawled along to find the vector again for what could likely now be the final top coming next of this vector move.
10. For interest, there are two main lows now in play for the vectors to find the next inevitable pendulum swing down, these are the purple set low (7) and the next one (10) that just missed the purple ‘parallel’ that is used to get the reverse vector (and will also act as the next pendulum line of price indeed obeys that vector).

Pendulum Motion, The Harmony of the Circle presents a new breakthrough understanding the symmetry of pendulum motion, with applications and scaling developed from over 30 years of professional trading and fund management experience. The material is as theoretically profound as it is practical. In fact, to acknowledge only one breakthrough is probably not being fair, there are multiple breakthroughs in this body of work particularly with regards to the new mathematical models presented.

CHFJPY

The core harmonic tools of this system (require scaling taught in the book) provide the trader with the capacity to project the natural symmetry of pendulum motion as pure circular angle values. This method uses a particular piece of information directly from the original vector being measured, and a strictly mathematical calculation is used to set a circle-based scale and then plot relevant angles of reaction according to pendulum motion.

Naturally, you will understand why we cannot elaborate on the technique itself too much here (see chart examples below for how this looks), suffice to say this has been programmed for W59 and there are other platforms with suitable tools: most notably Optuma and Timing Solution. The W59 tools are available now strictly for those who own this course (chart examples of pendulum motion are coming up. these are drawn on Optuma charts). This concept and some of further work on the use of this tool set and method has been shared over the years with a few fellow traders and the response has always been unanimous, this is an incredibly precise and very high value tool. If you have been beating the Gann path a while, you already know the value of a true universal method, this is based on natural law of pendulum motion and consistently and accurately uncovers the precise limits of market swings.

As in the CHFJPY example above the core method begins with choosing a price action vector representing ‘action’ and plots a single main angle of ‘reaction’ to this vector, this is done multiple times in the example, those are the sets of coloured lines. A secondary line of ‘overbalance’ is also part of the main lines in the core tool set, this is the green dotted line in the above example as only one of these is plotted above as price action only ventured beyond the primary reaction line once in the whole sequence of this example. As price reversed at this reaction line, we begin another vector from there as the new action line, and plot a new reaction line, and so forth.

This single technique applied above provided a near perfect pivot reversal exactly at the ‘reaction’ line 7 times in a row, successfully locating an ideal low risk entry for each successive market move in the downtrend sequence. The reaction lines themselves represent natural pendulum motion vector swings according to each ‘action’ vector measured and this is a very natural and elegant harmonic solution to identify and capture the majority of ‘end of retracement’ reversal pivots during a stable trend segment. This tool and understanding of the method is a powerful compliment to any system of swing trading or even long term investing.

Another variation used in certain defined situations plots 3 – 4 angles at the most. In a stable trend, the single main ‘reaction’ angle (APR) will continually give an accurate support & resistance level for the retracement to the original vector. It the reaction to the original vector chosen produces a deeper retracement than the single main line, then the secondary ‘overbalance’ line (ACS) will be the next major support/resistance (limit of pendulum motion) if the trend is to remain intact. In both cases we expect a precise reaction at the angle and one aspect of the method is to look for the precision of reaction as that is what our expectation should be when correctly applying natural law harmonics and pendulum motion!

Those who have come to appreciate the work of Sean Erikson will immediately appreciate the significance of what Straker is presenting here. To be clear this is absolutely not the same thing as Erikson’s brilliant work, and not an astro dependent chart application so you don’t have to have astro software to use the pendulum motion methods.

The principle at work behind this tool has many applications far beyond the core tool itself, with an incredible array of information available from a simple ‘seed’ vector (the initial impulse or Gnomic Event – GE). This ‘seed vector’ can be viewed as a DNA pattern for growth, and after thoroughly explaining the core tool mathematics, the concept is extended with arcs and boxes introduced to project limits of natural growth phases as targets. Once again, Straker takes the time to painstakingly explain his original work on mathematics of growth fractals of the common Elliott wave impulse-retracement fractal sequence known as a 5 wave impulse and 3 (or 5) wave retracement.

The beauty of the core tool is that there is just one specific vector element that absolutely defines the scaling rule and a single main angle of reaction is plotted, plus an ‘overbalance’ line. These angle lines will define the limits of normal pendulum motion of a retracement to the impulse vector measured with approximately 80% accuracy in any market and on any time frame.

Much like the recently released work of Erikson, Straker’s insights here are another work of pure genius! Precise and definitive, you see the natural law of pendulum motion work again and again with perfection (see chart examples). As pointed out in his book, that is what we should expect when using authentic harmonic science methods to locate genuine points of resonance in price and time!

Market Setups (Not all chart techniques shown)

Here are a few different typical set ups and targets all from this method, the most important is a ‘Classic’ major context set up (late 2019) with Elliott 5 Wave impulse followed by a simple ABC correction (this is common Elliott).  Pendulum motion is clear at the end of the major correction.

Set Ups

• Master Line Long from the 1x1 line – Exit at Target (method not shown)
• Cradle long at a neutralization point and pendulum angle – 2nd Exit
• ‘Classic’ Long from Angle of Pendulum Reaction (APR)

Note that the Gann boxes basically provide a diagonal tunnel, the entire tunnel runs 6.5 boxes up from low to high, makes a right angle turn, then 4 boxes down.

(Note: Top box is shared by the 4 down and 6.5 up. This is a ‘vector’ ratio of 4:6.5).

S32 Weekly with Typical Setups and Exits (not all techniques shown)

If you are someone who uses Elliott Wave principles, this example clearly demonstrates why you want these angles, matter of fact if you are in the market at all you why want this course! The geometry and angles of the green core angle set including the 1x1 master line (black) are the foundation for all the set ups. Scaling is achieved via a strict mathematical procedure. Confirmation, targets and extension techniques taught in depth include a stunning and brand-new application built from a single scaled vector that has both direction forecasting and channel width pre-set before price ever hits the channel! (not shown here, completely different technique)

As the book goes on you come to appreciate more and more just what a monumental and endlessly fascinating harmonic science explanation Straker is weaving together here. After laying out an incredible array of original theory and masterful pendulum motion solutions the reader may assume that surely Straker has exhausted his supply of insights……and then yet another different variation, and equally incredible ‘Tunnelling’ technique is presented that offers a channel predicted from any single vector! The slope and even the width of the channel itself is predicted using a pure geometry technique! To be clear, this is NOT the same thing as Erikson’s brilliant work, this is a pure geometry solution without any astro involved. Straker and Erikson are friends and colleagues, see what Erikson has to say about Straker’s book here.

Once again, after being stunned by the recently released work of Erikson, now Straker comes along and re-fries my brain! Take a look at the testimonials, you will quickly get the idea. Brilliant insights like these are generally few and far between, however lately we have been blessed with the release of a great series of this kind of high-precision insights and systems from various authors! Straker’s brilliant work not only unveils another major piece of the puzzle focussed around pendulum motion with both mathematical elegance and precision, it also provides other major maths-based insights and a fantastic pathway to understanding multiple facets of harmonics as a true science.

Here’s an interesting fact for the ‘believers’ (God Bless you all!) that came to light only after this release was scheduled. Straker’s birthday is precisely a Golden Mean time division between the exact month of Gann’s famous Ticker Interview publication and this book release! Undoubtedly, the universe has an amazing sense of synchronicity and you will see why this seeming bit of trivia holds some significance after studying Straker’s work.
