For learning purpose: Gann covers this topic in some way or form in nearly all of his books and trading courses. Unfortunately, the clarity of his teachings on this subject has been lost in translation by many modern interpreters.
The Yearly Cycle
Gann divided the year into equal parts based on geometric principles. The most common divisions are:
- Quarterly divisions: 90-degree angles
- Seasonal divisions: equinoxes and solstices
- Cardinal points in the zodiac
Practical Application
By identifying key dates in advance using these divisions, a trader can prepare for potential reversal points in the market. This preparation allows for better risk management and improved timing of entries and exits.
