The Golden Age of Technical Analysis extended from 1910 through 1960, when the greatest analysts lived and developed foundational principles.
Dr. Baumring selected the best works for his students, believing it best to study from the great masters.
Books by masters of the past have as much value for students today as they did back in their own day.
Grain Trading
Gann gave much attention to grain markets, and in particular Wheat, Corn and Soybeans. Gann had a Wheat chart back to 65 BC, which Baumring took back to 1200 BC.
Long historical data made Wheat a premier market to study long term cycles, and grain markets depend on weather, a secondary phenomenon which Gann also studied and analyzed.
Market Geometry
Analytical systems, techniques and tools based upon the use of geometry are significantly effective when applied to the analysis of market trends.
Baumring Reading List
Dr. Baumring's reading lists were very comprehensive, covering all areas of the markets, sciences and metaphysical fields.
Baumring was an intensive scholar who read 1800 words a minute and had a photographic memory, thus extendinghis scope.
Baumring's 10,000 volume library included around 500 books which he saw as core information.
Hans Kayser
Kayser, the greatest scholar of harmonic science, was far ahead of his time, penetrating the depths of ancient esoteric Pythagorean Tradition to present a universal Law of Vibration.
His "Textbook of Harmonics" provides the most valuable insight into Gann’s Law of Vibration of any resource.
We have so far translated four of his works into English.
Magic Squares
In Magic Squares the addition of each of the rows and columns add up to the same number.
From Ancient times thinkers have explored these mathematical mysteries, uncovering deep ordering principles underlying numbers and geometry.
Within his esoteric market analysis systems Gann used a "Squares of Nine" and a "Square of Four".
William D. Gann
History's most intriguing financial analyst, forecaster and trader, W. D. Gann produced a 10,000% return with a 93% success rate in an audited 1909 interview.
Gann said his market theory was based upon the Law of Vibration, leading scholars and analysts on a 100 year intellectual quest deep into theoretical physics, alternative science and esoteric philosophy.
W.D. Gann Works
We stock the complete collection of the works of W.D. Gann.
His private courses represent the most important of his writings, going into much greater detail than the public book series. Our 6 Volume set of Gann's Collected Writings includes supplementary rare source materials, and is the most reliable compliation of Gann's unadulterated vital work.
2015 Prandelli PFS Stock Forecast Bulletin Results A Summary of the Results of Daniele Prandelli's 2015 Forecasts Updates for the S&P500, DAX30, Russell 2000, & Crude Oil
The 2015 S&P Bulletin has been correct over the last year, giving us the opportunity to make new good profits. First of all, let's look at the PFS forecasting model and what I said in October 2014, when I prepared the Bulletin:
(AltCaption - Optional)
It is evident how the Forecast Model suggests a very positive year, with the Low of the year at the beginning and the High of the year at the end. I strongly agree with this view.
I see a general uptrend all through 2015. The general path is:
A Low in January
Possible intermediate High in February or March
A new intermediate Low in March. This Low should not be under the January Low, but it can be, and this is not a big deal, in any case.
March is a month where to buy.
The general uptrend should go on till July, where it is possible we see a stop of the uptrend.
Little descent till August or September, and then up again.
October, in any case, if it is a Low or if it is pushing toward new High, should be a month to accumulate because from here a new up push should work till the end of the year.
This is the Market till today, 20th of October 2015, and the only "mistake" was the call of the little descent till August or September, only because the descent was not a little one, but it was actually a huge crash, something due to exceptional external conditions, which are hard to forecast, in my opinion (experience proves that I'm right).
(AltCaption - Optional)
I think the chart explains everything. Like I said, you can call the forecast of a little descent from July till August a mistake, but honestly, it is hard to call it a mistake since we said it would go down and it did go down, just more than we anticipated. But as a swing trader, which is how we trade, you would have been short due to this indication, and would have made amazing profits!
During the year, I sent out 3 updates, which were really not necessary since the forecast worked so well throughout the year. I primarily sent the updates to give the Key Price Levels as the market changed trading levels.
The following comments come from the first update I sent in January, where I spoke about other Indexes like the DAX30 and the S&P/ASX200. Here is what I said:
There is also a huge difference between the S&P500 and other Markets like the Russell 2000, the S&P/ASX200 and the DAX30, and I think it is worth paying attention to them as well because the last three have some in common and they can help us to trade the S&P500. What do they have in common? In the last year they made tops at the same level, forming a kind of a sideways movement blocked by a precise resistance level. Don't undervalue the correlation between different Stock Markets because this is an analysis that gives us more data to work with. Let's take a look at the Charts:
DAX30 Index
(AltCaption - Optional)
The Dax30 made a double top around area 10050 points. A break above it would be a confirmation of a new uptrend but if it is not able to move above it, we remain in a dangerous position.
Russell 2000
(AltCaption - Optional)
We see the Triple Top in the area of 1215, a consolidation above it would be the signal of a new uptrend.
S&P/ASX200
(AltCaption - Optional)
We don't see here a clear resistance level, but in the area of 5550 there is a possible top zone, and we can see also a head & shoulder pattern. If the S&P/ASX200 fails the bearish pattern and it moves above the High of 2014, probably a new uptrend can start.
Here is what happened:
(AltCaption - Optional)
The break above the level 10050 has been the trigger for an unbelievable up push!
About the S&P/ASX 200, here is what I said:
We don't see here a clear resistance, but in the area of 5550 there is a possible top zone, and we can see also a head & shoulder pattern. If the S&P/ASX200 fails the bearish pattern and it moves above the High of 2014, probably a new uptrend can start.
(AltCaption - Optional)
What a great up push, again above the level we suggested to pay attention to! If you traded these two Markets, you probably did even better than with the S&P500.
Crude Oil
We also sent out our study about Crude Oil, in January we said:
The trend is down! If you want to trade anyway, follow it, if you want to open LONG positions, do it only when you have a clear signal from the Market and not from any forecasting tool! At the beginning I was forecasting a Low in October, then at the end of November, then around mid-December but the price is the only real thing! What are the best signals? If Crude Oil breaks out downward trend lines, this is the first signal, then if Crude Oil moves above previous Highs we have another signal, since August, the Market never broke previous Highs. Another signal then is to use long-term levels. My Long Term Price Levels are at 38, then 57.40 and then 74.
Look at the Chart of Crude Oil right now, the Low was at 38, a great price study! In our Daily Report Service we are LONG from 38!

This little review of the 2015 S&P500 Bulletin should be enough to show you how we work. For the last 2 years our forecasts have been accurate like this, and we are now releasing our new PFS report for the S&P500 for 2016.
Donald Bradley is famous for creating the Siderograph model of market action, and he wrote other astrological books which we publish in our Collected Works of Donald Bradley.
His Siderograph Model is famous for providing an almost perfect model of market action over the year. Our course has 100 years of Siderograph models (1950-2050).
Collected Outlooks
Ferrera's Collected Outlooks 2008 - 2019 are like instructional manuals in the Art of Financial Forecasting, providing educational studies on market theory and technique by a highly respected forecaster.
They expand the toolbox of even seasoned traders, providing new tools and deep insights into cycles, technical analysis and Gann forecasting.

George Bayer
Works by or about George Bayer, or source works referred to by Bayer or related to his work.
Market Timing
The two fundamental elements of reality are space and time, and of the markets price and time.
Gann always said that Time is the most important variable.
If you know exactly WHEN to place your trades, when the market will turn, top, bottom, react or breakout, you will be able to trade or invest with great precision.
Astronomy
A fundamental principle of Cosmological Economics is the interconnection between galaxies, solar systems, stars, and planets, along with their interactive influences.
For example, the rotation of our galaxy is responsible for temperature fluctuations on Earth as a result of cosmic ray variations as we rotate through the spiral arms.
4th Dimension
Much science from the 1800’s postulated a 4th Dimension, often considered to represent Time, in relationship to 3-Dimensional space.
Gann himself posited the idea of space itself being a 4th dimension in the markets, which requires the Gann theorist to become familiar with complex and often metaphysical theories of extended dimensionality.
