Since professional market analysts are generally not scientists, they are often more interested in the usefulness of practical applications than the proof of some ultimate theory behind the financial markets. The fact is that for over 150 years, the financial and economic principles of technical analysis, cycle theory, market geometry, and Gann analysis have produced the best models, tools, and systems, as well as the most successful financial forecasts of any tradition out there.
Without considering what this means for scientific and cosmological theory, from a purely practical standpoint for investors and traders, Cosmological Economics provides the most valuable and practical tools for professional investors and traders engaged in navigating and trading the financial markets.
Not only does the Institute of Cosmological Economics possess the most complete collection of research materials dedicated to the advanced theoretical study of these subjects, but we also possess the very best collection of applied technical trading systems, practical analytical techniques, as well as market information, forecasts and reports valuable for investors and traders.
The following Study Guides will approach these subjects from a number of different perspectives which have been of greatest interest to our clientele over the 30+ years that we have been involved in publishing works and providing education and training for traders within these fields.
Each section begins with a group of statements or questions that we have been asked by different types of students, traders, investors or analysts over the years, which would be best answered by that particular Study Guide. This is followed by an overview of the subject, leading to a list of books, courses or other materials which will help to outline a plan of research, study and practice to accomplish that particular purpose. Complete details of each book or course can be found by clicking that particular listing in each Study Guide.
We have tried to limit the list of materials in each of these Study Guides to only absolutely most important materials, which we have organized by complexity and cost into intermediate and advanced categories. One need not begin with the simpler, introductory works, as the more advanced courses are generally more inclusive and provide a fuller education on the topic.
These Research Maps and Study Guides are meant to give some general direction and guidance to those who have little familiarity with this material. They take our extensive catalog and boil it down to very specific focuses, so we strongly recommend you take a careful look at this section since it can be of great help in guiding you through our vast resources to exactly the right material needed to accomplish your purpose.
Please always feel free to contact us with any questions you may have or for more specific information or recommendations to fit your particular needs. We are always here to help!
The most common and repeated question we are asked both by newcomers to trading and old researchers is, “what course will lay out the fastest path to consistently making money through trading?” This Study Guide will answer that question for everyone. Over many years, we have developed very specific courses with exactly this intention in mind: to teach anyone to make consistent money trading. This guide provides that answer, with both introductory materials and our best and most advanced trading courses.
For those who possess a genuine desire to understand the scientific system behind the financial markets, or who are dedicated to “cracking” Gann’s Law of Vibration, this is the best, if not the only path for you. The study of Cosmological Economics delves directly into the study of natural science and mathematical order, seeking to uncover the underlying principles of causation that lie not only behind market phenomena, but behind all systems in nature, be they physical, biological or psychological.
Without cracking Gann’s entire system, there are still numerous interpretive works and applied techniques based upon various partial elements of Gann Theory by some of our most popular authors like Daniel Ferrera, Daniele Prandelli, and other well-known authors. Most traders and researchers are not concerned with understanding every inch and detail of Gann’s system, but are simply seeking practical techniques and tools that they can use for forecasting and trading the markets that will not require many years to understand and apply. We have the largest collection of these kinds of work.
We have the largest collection of works on Financial Astrology or Astroeconomics in the world and publish many lost and little known works on the subject from the last 150 years. There is not an important work on the subject outside those classics in our catalog.
Swing trading was the technique that Gann himself first taught to all of his students. It is a mechanical process of trading each sequential swing in any market, using technical analysis to identify when the swings are topping or bottoming and changing directions. It teaches the mechanics of trading, the discipline of analysis and decision making, and the foundations of reading market swings and energy. This is considered to be the foundation for trading an individual market.
Baumring used to tell his students that if they just wanted to make money, a good Swing Trading system combined with an options trading strategy would make them all the money they need, without ever having to get into the complex Gann studies and forecasting techniques. Our collection has the best Swing Trading works ever developed!
The focus of Position Trading is upon intermediate term perspective, where traders seek to capture the longest and strongest swings or moves in any market. The time frame for Position Trading usually runs from at least a a few weeks or a couple months up to a year or more for longer swings. With this strategy, we are seeking to identify and trade with the Major Trend. Gann said that the largest profits were made by following major trends and capturing these large campaigns.
Our large collection of works on Technical Analysis represent some of the very best books on the subject from the Golden Age of Technical Analysis. Almost all modern works and software are nothing but stripped down regurgitations these older and much greater works.
The cost of college has become simply insane, while the quality of its education continues to decline. Graduates are no longer even guaranteed a job, but instead are saddled with debt that takes half their life to pay off. All intelligent young people must ask if there is not a better option. There is! We can provide a better education, for a far cheaper price, that will pay for itself with a guaranteed job at the outcome if not even along the way. If you are a young person who likes to walk his own path, and who has sufficient self-reliance to work independently upon a intellectual and practical path, with the guidance of expert scholars in the field, this work may be for you!
While longer term investors are generally not as engaged in complex financial research as traders tend to be, they still require some guidance as to what to expect in terms of the longer term cycles and trends of the market. We have a selection of works which specifically focus on a longer term, bigger picture perspective, creating cyclical models and trend indications for the long term market structure. We also have some informational resources that focus on the longer term perspective of the investor.
Risk Management is probably the most important principle required for successful trading, and the single most influential element in success vs. failure. Professional traders and managers all understand risk management, though some could learn it much better, but new traders usually tend to overlook this. Risk Management is THE KEY to successful trading and investing. Do not miss mastering this subject!
