It is speculated that Speharial's Master Key was crucial in Gann achieving his success with his number theories. It should be known that theosophcal movement at the turn of the century and its leading contriutors like Blavatsky and Sepharial must have had huge influence on the mindscape in esoteric sciences. Gann cannot have been immune to that. Sepharial is also largely reputed to have very good success in predicting the financial markets, though he himself was not a trader.

Tunnel Thru' The Air - Book
The most enigmatic of all the Gann works have to be Tunnel Through the Air, a short semi-autobiographical novel by Gann.
The novel is steeped in controversy with followers giving every turns and events a new and colorful meaning. It is perhaps what Gann intended. Gann in his foreword says "Tunnel thru the air is mysterious and contains a valuable secret". This has vertiably opened pandora box of interpretations - most of them biblical, astrological and numerological. Nothing has been left unturned by decades of work by people trying to uncloak the valuable secret. Even the book jacket is subject of much speculation.
Honestly, I have not gone deep into its study from the perspective of uncovering any treasures but as a good novel.
In my interpretation if there is one secret(?) that I have uncovered is that: to be a successful trader you need to have a clean and innocent heart. Everything originates from a point, and that point does not lie outside of the trader but within him. This in my opinion is what needs to be carried and not the myraid of mythical calculations we could uselessly spend our days on.
One little proverb is better than hundred treasures in bush. A happy today is better than wildly optimistic future.
Gann has time and again stressed on the importance of the trader's character. And there is no other book which highlights this view better than Tunnel Thru' the Air.

Pattern, Price and Time - Book
On book that influenced me a lot when I was 'stuck' after many years of reading was James Hyerczyk's Pattern, Price and Time. I must confess this book opened several keys for understanding the hidden attributes of Gann and especially in relation to Price-Time.
If you are looking at something very specific like Gann Angles or similar then this book is for you. Though this book deals with the basics of the concepts well, I would not suggest this book for a rank beginner. You would be able to fully understand and rationalize the contents of the book only when you have a solid foundation on the mathematics of the natural squares.
In other words, though James' book is good for beginning, you should approach it with sufficient knowledge to understand its nuances. There are several textures in this book that you will not find anywhere else.

Who Was W. D. Gann?

Introduction to Pattern, Price and Time
In order to understand how to apply Gann Theory to today’s markets, I feel it is important to know a little about the man. Although their has been a lot written about the man since he died in 1955, I feel that I have made a valiant effort to highlight the key points in his life with as much accuracy as possible.
This article is an excerpt from the first chapter of my book Pattern, Price & Time (Using Gann Theory in Trading Systems), John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 1998. In my newsletter, The Pattern Price Time Report, I apply the technical analysis principles presented by W. D. Gann in his many books and courses to research and analyze today’s Forex and Futures Markets. Since Gann died in 1955 many new markets have been created. In addition to the new markets, many new technical analysis tools have been created. Because of these new markets and new trading tools, I prefer to refer to my technique as pattern, price and time analysis.
Many people today feel that William Delbert Gann only used some form of technical analysis to analyze and trade the markets. After reading and studying his techniques in his books and courses, I have come to the conclusion that his approach was to study and experiment as the markets were always changing. In fact, this theme of “study and experiment” was repeated throughout his life. This is why I prefer to use a blend of fundamental and technical analysis as well as some conventional chart patterns and charting tools combined with my deep knowledge of Gann Theory to come to my conclusions about the markets.
To fully understand my approach to Gann analysis, it is important for the reader of this article to read my book and subscribe to my daily and weekly newsletters. All of my publications are designed to educate the reader to get a better understanding of Gann Theory and how to apply it to today’s markets.

Gann's Permanent Chart for Wheat
A very interesting and very successful chart which Gann termed as Permanent Square 12 Chart for Wheat.
The chart is very simple to read and still most effective in predicting Wheat cycles. There are two inflection and deflection points in this time-series of years. The market cycle for Wheat is roughly 6 years, and hence this chart captures the cycles superbly.
The price relationship among the years also exist but I have not been able to study it for lack of data.

Gann Angles - May Soyabeans [Original Chart]
Every original chart of Gann is a wonder in itself.
May Soyabeans chart here is a classic work of Gann Angles. There are many usual things that you will pick up from other writers. But that will not get you far. Apart from the usual, what you must concentrate are the strange looking misplaced lines on periphery.
There are lots of clues in this chart, and this chart alone is enough to tell you how to use Gann Angles.
As they say, if you know where to look.

Gann's Square of Nine and Spiral Properties of Prime numbers
The property of prime numbers is a very important concept of Gann's Square of Nine.
The prime spiral has been created in many ways by mathematicians and physicists, using the same or very similar number theories. Though these are not Square of Nine (as known in Gann terminology) their property implies that similar relationship HAS to exist even in Gann's Sqaure of Nine.
Here are some examples with number structures:
This sprial of Prime numbers is commonly refered (in our context) as Ullam's Spiral.

Best Pro-Gann software: Gannalyst Professional 5.0
Gannalyst Professional 5.0 is one of the best Pro-Gann software out there on web. And best part of it is, it’s free.
Paying for some excellent software is the best investments you can make, however in the field where you are not sure if you will ever understand the concepts let alone have enough confidence to use the theories and its findings in real trading, it is good to go for freeware like Gannalyst Professional 5.0.
Just because it is free, you must not take the credit away from this software, which until recently was paid software. Gannalyst Professional 5.0 is a very good one if you much into angles, levels and such, and not much of a numerologist. The features I like most on this software have much less to do with Gann and more to do with Fibonacci. I think this has some of the best Fibonacci studies there is, in more commonly used software. Gann angle studies are much more robust than other software.
If you do not try this out, you will miss out a lot. Give it a shot, you won’t regret.

Gann Wheel - Software
Among the first software that I used for Gann studies is Gann Wheel. I would recommend this software to Gann Beginners for two main reasons:
1. This software enables beginners to see Gann Squares, Gann Wheels and angles it makes on the chart.
2. It offers a good period of trial version which should enable beginner to understand the nuances of Gann techniques.
It is a very good tool provided you know how to use it, which believe me, is the toughest thing to do. And no two individual on this planet uses it alike!
If you learn how to use Square of Nine, for instance, this is the Only Gann-related software you would ever require.
Download it here: http://www.globalviewtech.com/

Gann Resources - Introduction
Every blog needs a reason to exist and this blog has a strong reason.
If you have ever tried to study Gann and his concepts, you would come to know how impossibly difficult it is to get anything authentic. You have lots of quacks who have hijacked Gann for good and following them is a definite road to misery and frustration. This is just an attempt to give back and share with Gann-enthusiasts what I have collected over the years. I sincerely hope this is effort is useful to readers and Gann-lovers. I hope this prevents many new comers from heading into blind-alleys and chasing their own tail. Basically, if some body captures anything good from this site, its wonderful drop a word.
This blog should have come into existence long before but better late than never.
Please do comment and let me know how you find this resource or you require anything, which I might have.
