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.
