Mew erceR mens son Ww. D. GANN NEW YORK 5, N. ¥ THE BASIS OF Wy FORECASTING HETHOD Mathometict is the only axact science. All power under heaven ond on earth i# given unto the men who mesters tha simple science of mathemetics. Emerson said: "God does indeed geonetrize." Another. wise man said: “There is nothing in the ahiverse but methenatical points." Pythagoras, one of the createst natho- maticians that ever lived, after experimenting with numbers ond finding the proofs of dil neturel lows, said: "Before God was numbers." He believed that the vibration of nunbere created God and the Diety, It has been scid, "Pigures don't lie." Men have been convinced that numbors tell the truth and that all problem? can de solved by then. ‘The chemist, ongineer, astronomer would be lost witnoat the seience of mathematics. Zt ts s0 simple ond caey to colve problems and gat correct onswers and re- aulta with figures ‘thet it coome strange so few people xely on them to forecast the future of business, stocks and commodity markets, Tho basic principies aro easy to learn and understand. No matter whethar you-use geonetry, trigonometry, oF calculus, You uso the simple ruloa of arithnotic. You do only two thinga+ You incroase or decreces. Thore cro: two Kisids of numbsrs, osd and even. Ve add numbers together, which Le inergosling. We mvltiply, which 4s a shorter vay to increcea, We sub~ tract, hich decreases, and we divide, which aloo decreases! ith the uae of higher mathemotics, wo find a quicker and easier way te divide, subtract, add and multiply, yet very simple whan you understand it Everything in nature is mals and fenale, white end block, hermony or innarmony, Tight and left. Tha market moves only two vays, up and down. There are throo dimensions which we know héw to prove--width, length and height. We use three figures in geometry—-the ‘circle, the square, and the triongle. We get the squcre ond triangle points of @ circle to determine points of time, price and space resistance, We use the circle of 360 degrees to measure Time ond Price. There ané three kinds of angles-—the verticel, the horizontal, ond the diagonal, which we use for measuring time ahd price movomenta, We use the square ef odd ond even numbers to get not only the proof of morkot movements, but the HOW 70 MAKE CHARTS Charts ard records of pest narket movements. Tne future 19 but a repetition of the past. Thoro ie nothing now. Ac the Bible saye—"Tho thing that natn boon, 1t ia thot which sholl bo.* History repeats and with charts and rules we determine when and how it is going te repeat. Therefore, tho firet and most important point to learn is how to moke charts correctly because if you make an error in the chart, you will meke on error in applying tho rules to your trading.

HOW 10 DRAM CROMBIRIOAL ANGLES there aro threo important points thet we oan prove with methonttics or geouetry: the Girele, the Scuaro, end the Triangle. Aftor I heve nado the Squere T cen draw n Circle in it using the same dianctor, and thereby produce the Tri- engle, the Square end tho Circle.

Tt is the seme as a square roon whieh has a bottom or floor, a tap o woiling, ond sido walle. Everything hs width, Jongth, and hoight. To got tho strongest and most important points in this Square, I divide it anto two qual parts by drawing 2 horizontal ma a vertical lino. Wote angle morked "A" which divides cach of the snellor squares into two equal parts ond runs from "0" to "28" diagonally, This iz a diagonal line movizig on a 45° angle and divides the lerge Square into to equal perte, Thon note angie "J" at "IE" running horizontally across, This divides the Square into tro equal perts, ote eagle No", which 13 ¢ vertical lino, runing up from "Ls", whioh is one-nalr of "20", This crossos ut tho contor or half-way point at 14, whore tho other -anglos cress, dividing tho Square inte two ogual parte, Them"neco unglo "D", which Forms ‘gocher 26° aagie moving fron tho N, M. corner ¢o tho §, B. corner, eross— ang "14" at tho oxact halfway point. You aoc dy this that if wo draw tho first limo thru the eonter of the square, we divide it into two ogual parts thea whon we draw lines from Une other directions, we divide it into four equal parus- then by drawing the two lines from eech'corner, we divide the square into 6 equal parts and produce 8 triangles. 4s you look at Unis Square, it should be easy for you to tell with your eye where Uhe strongest sugport point is or resistence peint is. It is at the center where all the angics cross. Pour angles cress et Ubis point, so naturally this would be a stronger suppor point shan a place where only one angle crosses, I could divide each one of these smaller equeree inte four or eignt equal parts by drawing angles in the same way. Laser, when 1 give you the rules and examples, Twill explain how to square the Range of a stack, that is, the difference be- tween Lhe extreme low and the extreme high prices, or the difference between any low point and any high point, and also how to square the bottom price. For ex= ample If the top of a stock is 28, this Square of 28 x 28 would represent squaring the Price by Time, because if we have 28 points up in Price, and we move over 28 spaces in Time, we square the Price with Time. Therefore, when Lhe stock has moved over 28 days, 28 weeks, or 28 months, it will be squaring its price range of 28. PATTERN CHART FOR GSOMBTRICAL ANGLES The Square of 90, or vhe Pattern Chart, shows all the measured angles that are important to use in determining the position of e stock. These angles are as Follows: Bi, 7k, 15) 18%, 254. 50, 533, BTL, 45, G24, 564, 6O, CBE, 71d, 75, B24, 864, ani 00 degrees. It is mot necessary to measure these angles with 2 protractor. Al] you have to do to get the angles correct is to count the spaces on the chart. paper, using 8x 8 to the inch, and draw the lines or angles accordingly. On tte square of 90, which you Will receive with these instructions, note how equal angles drawn from Lhe top and from the bottom prove themselves by une point at which they cross, For example: The angle of 8 x 1 drawn from "0" and the angle of 6 x 1 drewn from "90" down both cross at 45, 5-5/8 points over from "0" counting to the right. Then, the angle of 4x1 from "0" and the angle of 4 x 1 down from "90", you will notice, cross at 11k on 45, equidistant from the other angle ard twice the measure. The reason why these anzlea prove this way is because the 45° argle or 45 points or degrees from "0! to 45 is one-half of 90 Therefore, parallel angles begiming at "O" going up and at 90 coming down, must cross on a 45° angle or at the gravity center. AM ANGLES FROM A LOW POINT RECORDED BY A S700K An exemple marked "Form 2" shows you the most important angles to use when @ stock is working higher and advancing. (See page 6! EIRST INPORTANT GEONBTRICAL ANGLE: eon The first and always most important angle to drew is a 4b-degree angle or a novirg-average Ubat moves up one point per day, one point per week or ore point per month. This is 2 45° angle because it divides une Space ani Time Pericds into two equal parte As long aa the market or e stock stays above the 45° argle, it is in a strong position and indicates higher prices. Yeu cen buy every time a stock rasis on the 459 angle with a stop lose order one, two or three points under the 45° anyle, but remember the rule— never use a stop GA-8 lose order more than 5 points away, Unless stooks aro noor tho low levels or gust starting in e bull market or Selling ct vory low pricos, I always usa stop loss order one point usdor the 45? anglo. If this angle is brokon by ono paint, you will usually find that tho trond has changod at leaut temporarily and tho Stock Will go lower, 4m onsy way to caloulate accaratoly haw to put on this 45° angio is: For oxemplo; Tf the timo 1 26 diys, 20 wooks, or 28 monthe from tho point whero ‘the stock was bottom, thon the angle of 45° mist bo 28 points up from tho botton ond would oross at 26, This ts ono of the eustest ongles to put on and one of ‘tho sinplost to leam, You can beat the merket by trading cgeinet the 45° anglo alone if you stick to the rule wait to buy a stock on the 45° anglo or wait to sell it ogainst the 45° angle. cect NEXT IMPORTANT AIGLE is the angle of 2 x 1, or the moving-averags which moves up Zzir at the rate of 2 points per day, week or month.

A stock will often decline and drop a little bolow this angle from the potton—then if it holds for soverc! deys ar wooks undor this angle or on it, it is e place to buy for a rally. On a Monthly Chart always carry this anglo dom-fron the bottom of the first sherp decline, as it often becomes very importont loter on in e cecpeign.

Por exemple Oa March 9, 1932 tho Dow-Jonos $0 Industrial Avoragos nado last top at 90, from whieh a decline foLlowod, with vory small rallies, recohing bottom ct 41 on duly 8, 1952, Noto on sho wookly chert that the engle of 2 x 2 from the top at 90 eressod wt 5D An the wool onding July $O, 1932 end after thoy crossod this lovel ‘they nover doclimed to 50 agcin, ard a¢vimeod to G1 in Soptombor, 1952, The cross~ rdication that the naln trend hed ing of this angle was the first definite turned up. It is also important to review the oajor swing from Novenber 9, 1931, when the Averages reached a high of 1192, to the low at 404 in July, 1932. This was the last big swing of ibe bear market, a decline of 79 points. ‘The half-vey point of this was at 60, In Septenber, 1952 the Averages rallied to 8l-~ then after they reacted to $0 and advanced, getting above the half-way point, and crossed 61, they indicated an advance Lo 119 anyway, After they crossed the half-way point the second time and advanced above Gl, they never sold down vo it again until they advanced to 140) in Novenber, 1935. Atter 2 stock has been advancing for 2 long tine, in the last run when there is a lot of monentun, it may cross angles from previous tops or bottoms, then fall back under them, which is an indication of weakness. When @ stock has @ sharp decline and is tmking bottom, it will drop under impertant angles and then re- cover quickly, getting ebove them, which shows thal it io getting into a strong position and changing trend. AIGLES PROM HIGHER BC 70 AnD LOWER ‘OPS. What rule should be followed when stocks make higher bottoms and lower vozs? 4 stocks advance ard make higher bovuoms on the monthly, weekly or daily chart, you should always drew angles from higher bottoms. Then, in the last section of 2 bull market, if these important angles ere broken from the last bet~ von, you know that the trend hes turned down. Apply this same rule ac a market declines. Drew the angles from each lewer top and vauch thetangles until the stocks again cross the 45° angle froma second, third, or fourth lower top. The second lower top or second higher ‘votton is al- ways very inportant to draw angles from and to measure Time from as well. Exanple Dow-Jones. Industrial Averages— Septendar 3, 1020 - Extreme high- November 13, 1929 - Bottom of first sharp decline- April 17, 1939 - Big rally in bear market, second lower Lop- July 8, 1982 - Extreme low, final bottom Soplenbor 8, 1032 - Top of first sharp advance efter bear market ended~ February and March, 1933 - Second higher bottom from which bull mrket wes resumed. These are Uhe most important tops and bottoms to draw angles fron. SBCTIONS OF NARKET CAMPArONS. All market campaigns, up or down, move in 3 to. 4 sections. When an advance otarts, the market runs for several weeks or several monvhs amd then halus for several weeks or months, moving up and down over a range of 5 Lo 20 points, ac- cording tothe price of the stock--then the advance is resumed and the stock crosses the high level of the first section, moves higher, helte again, ard reacts for a period of tine-- then crosses the Lop of the second section and moves up egain for another period of time and aalis for the third time, which is a very important point to watch as markets often culminate at the end of the third section and @ bigger decline follows, Most markets run out in chree important sections or campaigns. However, after resting and reacting, if a stock crosses Uhe third top, ib will then move Up to the top of the fourth section, This fourth advance may be @ shorter period of Vine than the previous sections, or in some cases may consume @ greeter period of tine, especially if vhe stock is very active and high-priced. This fourth top is very important and generally marks a culmination and a reversel for a bigger decline. For example: On March 12, 1935 CHRYSLER MOTORS declined and made low et 31-- FIRST SECTION of the advance carried the stock up Lo 49% on May 16~ then the stock declined to dla, SECOND SECTION— On June 27 the advange started and the stock advenced to new high levels, reaching 622 on August. 10, which wes top of the second section then there was a reaction to S?L and 2 resting period. THIRD SECTION— Then there was another advance which started August 22, The stock crossed the top of the second section and reached high at 74 on September 11, top of the third section. Then followed @ reaction to 68 on September 21. FOURTH SECTION— In October the top of the third section was crossed and on Novenber 18 Chrysler reached 90, top of the fourth section, where it held for 5 weeks in a 6-peint range while distribution was taking place. This was a most importent point to wateh for a final top and e change in trend. Then the trend turned down, Reverse this rule ina bear market. Watch the action of the market when it makes the third and fourth decline. But, remember, in a bear market when ral- lies cone, they may make only one section or one move or in extreme cases only make the second section- then reverse and follow the main trend dom. You will find it very helpful to study and watch these various cect iage of g cempaign end by applying the angles fron Lops and bottoms you can detect the first minor ard mejor changes in urend, STRENGTH OR WEAKNESS DaNOTED BY NOW ANGI - ‘The engles on the Monthly and Weekly Charts ere of gr those on the Daily Chert becalise the daily trend can change quite often, while ouiy the major changes ere shown according to the angles on the Monthly and Veek~ y Charts, eater importance than Always consider the distence a stock is from ite beginning point when it breaks any important angle or crosses any important angle. The further avay from Ube beginning point, the more inportant the chatige in trend, whether this is crossing an argle from the top or breaking under an angle from the bottom. WHEN A STOCK IS IN THE WEAKEST POSITION 4 stock is in the weakest position when it has completed distribution and broken under @ 45° angle from an important bottom on the weekly or monthly chart. Ty is also in the weakest position when it has broken under the half-way point between any inporvant top or bouuom. The longer the time period has run and tho higher the price, the weaker whe position, For example: Ifa atook hae advencoa to 160 and has only moved down 26 posnts wnon tho 45° onglo fron an oxtyoms low on a wookly or qwonthiy chert is Urokea, thon it as in a vory Wook position booauco it is so fer above tho half-way point on its prico movenont, alroady having equered out the timo period with prise, Viocknoss in a stock doveloys whon it tresks the 8/4-point, tho 2/S-point, tho 1/2-point, ote., but the position on the timing anglos from tho bottom tells you still more about the weak position. A stock shows its first woalnoss when, it breaks the first important angle coming up from the last botton in the final ron ine bull warkot WEEN A STOCK Ts IN THE sTRONGRS? PosTPION: A stock is always in the strongest position coming up from a bottom whon it is holding cbeve the very scuto angles on tho daily, wookly or moxthly charts, especially on monthly and weekly charte. As long as © stock holds above the angle of 2 x 1 (a gain of 2 pointe por @oy) on the deily chart, i¢ is in a very strong position as far as tho bottom $e concerned. Jn fact, 4b iz clvays in a strong position on the daily ce long ae At holds above the 45° angle. Tho seme applies to woekly ond wouthly charts, which are the most Amportent trond indicctors. I have found that the stocks which heve the biggest advences ere those thet alveys hold obove the angle of 2 x 1 on the monthly chart or goin Z points por month for o long poriod of tine, I have soon stocks rest 10 or 15 times on tho angle of 2 x 1 and novor break it until they hove advanced 100 points or more. In this way a stock stays uhosd of time ond steys within the squaro of timo by voing far above tho onglo of 45°, ond thoroforo is in a very strong position. But tho time must cone when the cycle has rum out and the main trend begins to change frome bull market to « denr market--then the breaking of the engle fron ‘the last bottom shows a change in trend. Another indication that a stock is in a strong position is when it advences and moves up above the helf-way point of the previous price woveneat and then holds the half-way point, that is, avences above it ond then reacts and fails to bronx under it, This is just tho seme as resting on a 45° angle and indi- ectos 0 vory strong position.

WHEN ANCLES PROM. EXTREME P. OSSBD: The 45° engle drawn from the extreme high point of a stock is most important ond when it is crossod, a major move may be oxpocted. For example On tho wookly chart of tho DowJonos Industriel Averages, note tho 45° angle moving down from 506, the high of Soptonbor 5, 1928, Jomuary 12, 1955 was 279 nooks fronvtho 1029 top.

By applying all of the rules and using the geonetrical aneles from tops and bottoms on the semi-veekly chart, you will often’ get en indication of a change in trend two to three days before @ change. in trend is shown on the weekly chert. 4 change in trend on the semi-weekly chart is of greater importance than a change in trerd on une daily chart. It is much better to rely upon this chart vhan on the daily chary wher markets are in @ narrow trading range. ANGLES POR WEY LIST! OK Years of experience and rescarch, which hes cost me a large amount of money have enabled me to develop a method that wil] account for all mrket moveronts and give rules to determine the trend from any top or botton. It is important to know how to determine the trend when a stock is first Listed on any exchange. When a stock has never fluctuated before, we have no top ar bottom to draw angles from, Therefore, in order to determine the trend, we use the square of 90, which is 90 up and 90 ecross, and put all the natural angles on, like the Pattern Chart, As we have szid before, the square of 90 is very important beceuse it is one-quarter of a circle of 360°, and as 90° or the ver- tical angle is the greatest angle vhat can be used, all of the other angles are found between "0" and "90", If a new stock opens at 18 or any point below 224, then you could make out a square of Z2k to determine the position of the stock on angles. If Lhe stock opened av 30 or any point between 224 and 45, you could nake up a square of If it opened et 50 o between 45 and 67, you could make up a square of 674, How- ever, you could place any stock opening at any price below 90 in the square of 90 and get_ite preper position and strength or weakness on angles. If the stock opened st 100 cr sbove 90 and under 135, you could mate up a equere of 135, or could make ancther square of 90 numberirig from 90 to 160. You could start a monthly chart on a square of 90 at the price where the Stock opens or treding begins, as shown on U. S. Steel, (Refer to Special Analy- sis of U.S, Steel.) After the stock breaks any of these naturel angles drawn from "0", it is just the same as breaking under an angle drawn from a botton. When it crosses any of the angles draxm down from "90, it. is just the same as crossing an angle froma top, as you can see by experimenting with U. S. Steel or any other stock, but always consider price resistance levels end how mich the stock is up or dovn from the bottom or top. You can determine the first change in trend by the $day or semi~seckly Chart, daily chart, and weekly chart by bringing up the important Geometrical Angles from any higher or lower bottom as the market, moverents develop. Iv is not necessary to draw these angles froma point a long way back, You can make the calculation and determine where they cross. For example: Sup- pose in 1900, in the month of January, @ ctock mde bottom at 15, and we wish to calculate where the 45° argle will cross 10 years later in January, 1910. The 45° angle rises at the rate of one point per month- then 10 years would be 120 points or months-- add this Lo 15 at the bottom then the 45° angle would cross at 135 in January, 1910. All of the other angles my be calculated a long period back in the same way.

BBPING TIME ODS ON CHARTS It is very important that you keep tho time periods on all of your charts, ying them ceross from the bottom and top of each important move in order to chock up and know that you havo your angles or moving-averaged at the corroct point end te coo whore major and minor sycles indleate ohengoe in trond. ‘Tie PERIODS (08 BOTTOUS: “hon a stock makes bottom one month end then the following month makes o higher bottom and « higher top, or myzay, afver it makes a higher bottom and rellies for one month or more, you son start numbering fron that botton, The month that it makes the low be longs to the old or downward movenont aad io the last move dom. You count tho first month up as one and then mmmber soross on the 1/2-inoh squares, runing thon ocress, adding four oach tine. For exemple: If a stock has nade botton and advenced 50 points, you look dowa at the dDotton of the chart and find that you are on the 26th nenth- then the angle of 2x 1, moving up 2 points por month, would cross at 50, while the 45° angie, moving tp one point per month, vould be ot 26, and if the stock broke tack under $0 the following month, it would bo falling under tho angle of 2 x 1 ond indicate a further decline. Now, if you had an error on tho chart in the timing or numbering across from the bottom, then tho moving-evarags line or angle would not come out correctly. IMS PERIODS PROM TOPS After a etosk hae sdvanced ond made an exbrome high and reacted for a fow days, « fowwocks, or ¢ fow menthe, ond you start putting on the wglos from the top down, you must then begin to number the time porieds across from the top. Apply the samo yale fer the top: The month, week or day that « stock mckes ox- ‘rome high Limishes the ugward movement und ig not to be counted, You can cou ‘the nunber of days, weeks or months noving across ofter that, allowing the top month to be "0", the next month, week or day over to be "1", adding ¢ ucross on the squares to get the correct position, If this Time Period 4s carried scross on ali the charts correctiy, then you can always check up ond find out if you have mede any mistake in bringing Gown the engles or noving-cvorage lines. Fer exonple: After a stock has declined 75 points, either on a weekly or monthly chert, the mgles move down tho sane, excep? whore the spacing is dif- ferent. Assuming that the spocing is ono point wr ous—pighth inch, ofter it has moved dom 75 points ané all tho angles aro dremm down from the top, there nay de aa error iu the angle of 2 x 1 because your ruler may havo slipped and you may not havo placod it correctly after it is dom a distance from tho top. Now, in order to prove exactly vhere the angle of 2x 1 comes out, you determine the number of tine pericds thero are. If 40 days, vooks or moths have beon required 0 deoline the 75 points, the engle of 2x 1 moving dom 2 points per unit of time, would be dow 80 fyom the top. Lf you find that this mgle does not cross at 86, thon you mow that you nado an error and shold correct At. This iz a simple way to always Imow when the englos ov noving-lmes are correct becuse you cimply add tho movomont te the bottom me subtract st from the top. Suppose tho prise referred to above, when the steok has declined 75 points, was 150, thon subtracting 80 fron the top ab 150, the angle wenld cross et 70, ond the price of the stock down 75 poiuts would be ct 75, therefere it would’ be above the englo of 2x 1 frem Une top and in position for a rally if ‘the tine cycle indicated it. FOINIS FROM WHICH 70 NUMBER TIME PERIODS The most smportent point on the monthly high and low chart to carry the time period from is fron the extreno low of the life of « stock ond also from the dete of incorporetion or from the date tra@ing in the stock began on the New York Stock Exchenge. From tho oxtreno low point the time period should al- ways be carried across on tho chart just the sano os the important angles should bo continuod right clong for years. ‘The next important point to number mm is @ sccond or third higher bottom, but you should not consider a Bottom established until Lhe market has held up advanced tlvee to four monvha, Uhen commence nunber ing from Uhl bovlom if 1 appears Lo be important. for example: U.S. STEEL was incorpcrated February 25, 1901, Numbering the months across ‘you will note that February, 1931, was 360 months, or 30 years, Crom the date of incorporation. Then start a new cycle and begin numbering across from #0". This will be working cut the second cycle cr circle of 360%. The next impertant point is the extreme lov of OF mde Moy 14, 1904, On the monthly chart carry the nunbere across from this betton, because It io the lowest botton and therefore the mest important. Note this 30-year cycle or 360 months ended May, 1934, ‘The next important point vo number from and draw the angles from, is the low of 214 in Gotober, 1907, the first higher boston. Then, the next important is the third higher bottom made in February, 1918. Always draw the angles and nun ber the moriths across from any other important bottons where campaigns start. Use this same rule at tops. After top is reached and the trend turns dun, then carry the tine numbers aerest from tha top, but after any top is crossed er betton is broken that. you are numbering from, then de not count. that. top or bottom of imperyance to number from excapt to deteraine & vine period on another cycle 3, 5, 7, 10 or 20 years ahead. Tops that stay for a long time without bo- ing crossed are elways the most Important vo carry the Tine Pericds from The extreme high reached by a stock is always most imporvant until Lhat high Is crossec- Uhen Uke next high point nade on @ secondary rally, which is alweys a Lower top, 18 the next mos important vop to number Tron. For example: On U.S. Steel you would carry the monthly neasurenent across firet from vhe high in April 1601- then from the extreme high in October, 1909, and next from the h{gh in May, 1917 then fron the final high in Septenber, 1929, being the most important to measure from, end also number from the April, 1930 vep. AMDUSTRIAL AVERAGES: The Dow-Jones 30 Industrial averages reached extreme high on Sepuember 3, 1822-- then declined sharply in the panic, reaching low in Novenber 1929-~ from this low there was a rally vo April, 1920, which was Lhe lad high and very important to munber from because it wes a secordery top, the lest rally in a bull market. After final low of the bear market was reached on July €, 2982, 2 sharp raily followed to September, 1932, when top was reached-~ then a slow decline followed, reaching bottom in’ late February and early 1033, making this a secondary higher bottom, from which stocks advanced to new high levels. The bottom in 1982 ie the most important to number from and the next bottom of March, 1933 is next in importance. Apply this sam rule to weekly and daily bottoms and tops, Discontinue the ‘ime periods when any minor top or potlom is exceeded and carry only the main figures on tine periods from important tops and bottoms as long as they remain unbroken, The rule for discontinuing the use of tons and bottoms for Tine Periods is: When a bottom or top is exceeded by three points, then discontinue the time period {rom that bottom or top. Always note the number of months between extreme high and between extreme low points and note what angle the tops and bottoms come out on, SQUARING ‘tH PRICE RANG WITH nt This is one of the most important and valuable discoveries Uhat I have ever le, and if you stick strictly to the rule, and always watch a stock when Price is squared by Tine, or when Tine and Price cone together, you will be able to forecast the important changes in trend with greater accuracy. The souaring of Frice with Tine means 2s equal under of points up or down balancing en equal runber of tine periods--either days, weeks or nonths. Por example: If @ stock has advanced 24 points in 24 days, ‘then moving the 45° angle or moving-average-line up et the rate of one point per day, the timing Line ‘or tine period ard the price of the stock are at the sane level and Uhe stock is resting on a 45° angie and you should wateh for an important change in trend at this point. If a eteck is to continue uptrend and remin in a strong position, it mist continue to advance and keep above the angle of 45°, If iv breaks back under this angle, then it is cut of ite equare on the bear side of tho 45° angle and ine weaker position. When you are squaring out Time on a delly chart, look at the weekly nigh and low chert ard monthly high and low chart and see if the stock 1s in a strong position and has yeu to run oUt the vine periods, because ona dally chart iu has to react and then recover 2 position, squaring its price many times, as long as the weekly and monthly point up. Nerkel corrections or reactions ere simply the squer ing out of minor time periods and laver the big declines or big advances are the squaring out of major tine periods. sat Refer Lo Form #12, where a rarge of 12 points is shown from 45 low to 60 high. Wow, suppose a stock remains for several weeks or severe) months, moving up or down, in this range, never gett more than 12 points up from the bottom and not breaking the bottom: We start the 45° angle from the bottom of 48 and move it up to the top of the range to 60, then when we see the stock is holding this range and not going higher, we move the 45° angle back to the bottom; then back to the top of the range again, moving it up or down over this range until the stock breaks out into new le Jevele or now high levels. You will find that every tine the 450 angle renches the Lop of this range or the botten of this range, Lhere 1 come important change in tren of the stock. Mou gan also use the angles of 2 x 1 te une right of the 45° angle end the 2x 1 to the left ae they ogain divide Une Time Period into tno equal parts and If @ stock finally moves out of this range on the up side, then the angles would begin at the new end higher bottom and move up, but from the point where the stock went into new high, or from any important bottom made while it wes in the range, especially the lest detton that it made, which would be most important, You should unen begin an angle at that bottom and Continue on up again; watch When this engle is Dreken or when Tine is squared cut again with Price, which would be important for another change in trend, either mor or minor. 20 period from the bovtom, which would be @ double indicacion fer @ change in trend. SQUARING WEEKLY TIME _PBRTODS: The year contains 52 weeks and the squere of this in Time and Price is 52 by 52. Therefore you can mo up a equare of 62 wide and S€ high; put on all of the angles from "0"; then chart the weckiy high and low prices of any svock in this square. For exemple: If the low price of & stock io 60, then the vop of this weekly square would be 62 added to 50, vhich makes 12 as top of the square. As long as the stock stays above 50 and moveo Up, it will be working in the weekly square of 52, On the other hand, if the stock makes top and works down, you would make up @ weekly equare 52 points dow from the top an 52 ov to get the time peried. You can take the past movement of any stock, put on a square of 52 by 52, and study the moverent, noting 13 weeks or one-fourth, 26 weeks or one-half, and 39 weoks or three-fourths points on time, and tke changes in trend which take place when the stock reaches these important Resistance Points in Tine and Price. You would wateh for a change in vrend around these tine periais, SCUSRING VOVTHLY Tne pep rons: At the time @ stock breaks a 45° angie, if it is selling at 135 on the th month, it is breaking @ doubly strong Resistance Level- a strong angle ard a netural Resistance Level. This would. be Time and Space balancing at Resietance Levels or geonetrical angles and would indicate a big decline to fol- low, - Reverse this rule at the end of a bear campaign. On a monthly chart twelve months completes a year, therefore the square of 12 is very important for working out Lime periods on the monthly chart. The gousre of 12 is 144 and important changes often occur on even 12 months! periods fron a bottom or Lop of @ sveck, It will help you if you use the Resistance , Levels on prices of tne even 12's, noting 24, 36, 48, 60. 72, 81, 66, 108, etc, Watch how the stock acts on angles when it réachés these important Resistance points in Price, PRICE AHEAD OF TIME "hy do stocks often cross the 45° angle on the daily, weekly or monthly chart, then have an advance for a short period of time, decline and rest. on the same 45° angle? Because when the stock crosses the 45° angle the first tine, it has no run out or overcome the square of Time with Price, Tharefore, on the Secondary reaction, when it rests on the 45° angle, it is at a time when the Stock hes reached the square of distance in Time. After that a greater advance Follows. Feverse this rule at the top of a bull market. When a stock breaks under the 49° angle 2 longidistance from the base or bottom, it is most. important Many times @ stock vill rest on the 45° angle in the carly stages of an advance, then later, on a reaciion, rest on it agein: then have a prolonged advance, re- act ard rest on the 45° again, and then advance to a higher level; then break Une 48° angle the next time, which places it in an extremaly weak position be- cause it is so far away from the base end so mich Lime has elapsed since the Stock made low, Don't forget—It is most important when angles are broken on she monthly and weekly charts, his aooounts for etocke that have a ¢l t advence and make « elightly higher top or a sorics of slightly lowor tops, ork over watil they overcome the equaro of the prico range gh lovel ond break tho 46° anglo, thoa a fast declino follows. p, quick decline from tho top and STRONGEST ANGLES FOR MEASURING MIME MID PRICE why is the 90 dogreo snglo tho strongost anglo of all?
