If you just read Gann's work you will find all the answers....there
are no real secrets. Take the S & P 500 cash index.......Major low
1st week January 1950 at 16.65.......March 24th 2000 All time
High.........Helio Jupiter moved 1531 * (degrees) plus 16 gives 1547,
Saturn Helio moved 614*....at 2.5 points per degree gives 1535 + 16
=1551.........602 months at 2.5 points per month = 1521.
October 1999 Low 1232......2/8 plus mini 1/8 gives 1552. Recent low
March 22nd at 1081........when price fell below 1232 it moved back
into the previous range of 923 - 1552.......range 2/8ths plus 923
gives 1080.25. Also 1 year from High. 1081 is also part of an octave
from both 1552 and lower top of 1530 (September). All you have to
remember is Gann used 1/8ths and 1/3rds......and an octave has 8
UNEQUAL divisions. Also divisions of octaves can themselves be
divided into mini octaves....up to 6 times according to PD Ouspensky.
I hope this has been useful.

Here is a good website on explaining scales and modes.

http://www.kent.wednet.edu/staff/dyadon/scales_modes.html

Scales are classfied into different types based on their interval pattern.
Most people are familiar
with the Major scale such a a C Major = C D EF G A BC However, as you will
see at the referenced website, there are as many modes as there are notes.
This in part is determined by where the scale is started, as it doesn't have
to start on the same note as indicated by its key, such as C Major, which is
in the key of C, starts on C and ends on C with no flats or sharps. If one
starts a C scale three notes away and plays the same notes but ending one
octave from where you started this would be a C minor. So you see major or
minor are only two of several possible modes. All Major scales follow the
above pattern, regardless of key, whole step, whole step, half step, whole
step, whole step, whole step, half step. Above, please note (pun alert!)
the intervals between the letters. Where the letters are touching,this is a
half tone which = 1.0594631. This number is based on all half tones of a
chromatic scale which is all possible half tones in an octave = 12 notes. If
you multiply 1.0594631 12 times you will get approximately 2. An octave or
the same note one octave higher is two times the frequency of its lower
note. For example, a symphony tunes to the Violin open A string (one of 4
strings on the violin) = 440 cycles per second. 880 cps is also an "A" and
so is 220 cps. One can use these principles to figure out what tune the
market is playing. For example, I recollect that the cash S&P 500 topped on
March 24, 2000 at 1563? (I could be off by a few points - correct me if I am
wrong). You can use A 440 as a base. Go down two 1/2 intervals or divide 440
by 1.0594631 two times = 392 which is G . Now go up two octaves by
multiplying 392 by 2 and then again by 2 = two octaves = 1568 So you can
see that the top for the S&P 500 was near G. Now the question to ask is, in
what mode will the ensuing bear market be, such as will it decline ala G
Major, G Minor etc. One can tell by the first major levels on which it stops
or bounces. It would not be surprising for the market to chose a minor
scale for its decline becuase this is the scale for sad or "bluesie" type
music. Bull markets are probably in Major keys. But, that would just be my
first guess in our Name That Tune analysis. Anyway, have fun with this and
please share any inspriations you may get with the list.

Now, for a story as how to get good at this stuff. One day a young
musician was rushing down a New York City sidewalk to get to his concert
with violin case in hand, . He suddenly and unknowling crashed into famed
violinist Isaac Stern. Startled, he looked up and hurriedly said,
"Sir, could you please tell me how to get to Carnegie Hall?" Isaac Stern
replied with paced deliberation, "Practice...., practice...., practice!"

That's our music lesson for today. Remember, practice..., practice...,

practice!!

Musically,

Norman

P.S. Please feel free to correct any facts that may be wrong. I started
violin at age 8 but was mostly taught only how to play the notes in front of
me and almost no music theory. Most of the little bit of music theory I
know I learned on my own in the past few years. Isaac Stern wasn't
available.<G>

I don't trade Beans but I read earlier posts about Ganns astro...I
thought I'd work out the current prices based on his 24 and 360
charts. Currently Jupiter on the 24 chart is at 437 and Saturn is at
436 with the midpoint at 436 1/2. 90 degrees down would give prices
of 430 Saturn 431 Jupiter......I did check a chart and noticed that
430 has not been breached yet. On the 360 chart Jupiter is at 430 and
Saturn at 419 ('the body of Saturn') with the midpoint at
425......the Sun is way down at 386 but adding in the angles as Gann
suggests this would give 431 at 45 degrees. If anyone here actively
trades Beans I would be grateful if they would let me know if these
figures have any relevance.
