howe mans Pnoriven Couueunee Ww. D. GANN NEW YORK 5, N.Y. THE BASIS OF MY FORECASTING METHOD Mathemotico ia the only oxact scionce. All power under hoaven end on eorth is given unto the man who masters the simple science cf mathematics. Emerson said: "God does indeed geometrize." Another.wise nan said: “There is nothing in the universe but nathematicel points." Pythagoras, one of the greatest matho— maticians that ever lived, after experimenting vith numbers and finding the proofs of dil natural lavs, said: "Before God vas numbers," He believed that the vibration of numbere crected Ged and the Diety, It hes been said, 'Pigures don't lie." Men have basa convinced that numbors tell the truth and that oll probleme can be solved by them, ‘Thp chemist, engineer, astronomer would be lost without the science of mathenetics. It ts 80 simple and ecsy to solve problens and get correct answers ond re— sults with figures that it'seons strongo so few people rely on then to forecost tho futuro of business, stocks and commodity siarkets, The basic principies ere easy to learn and understand. Ne matter whether you-Use geonetry, trigonometry, or caicuive, You uso the simple ruloe of arithmetic. You do only two things: You increcse or decrease ‘There aro: two kisids of numbers, odd and evon. We cad numbers together, which io incrgosing, We multiply, which Is a shorter way to increase. We sub= tract, shich decreases, and we divide, which clso decreases! With the use of higher mathenatics, ve fing ¢ quicker ond eazier way to divide, subtrect, odd and meltiply, yet very simple wnen you understend if, Everything in neture is male and female, white and black, harnony oF Amhormony, Tight and left. The market nove only twe ways, up and down. There are three dimensioas which we know hév to prove-vidth, length and hoight. Ve use three figures in geonetry—-the ‘circle, the square, and the triangle. Ve get the square and triangle points of a circle to deternine points of time, prics and space resistance, We use the circle of 360 degrees to measure Time ond Price. Thore ané three kinds of angies——the vertical, the horizontal, ané the diagonal, which we use for measuring tine ahd price movements. We use the square of edd and oven aunbers to get not only the proof of market movements, but the HOW TO MAKE CHARTS Gharts ard records of pest market novements. ‘Tho futur? ie but o repetition of the past. There Le nothing aov. As the Biblo saye-—"Tho thing that hath bean, 1t ts thot whlch shell bo.” iistory repeats and with charts and rules we determine vhen and how it is going te repeat. Therefore, the first ene most important point to learn is how to nake charts correctly because if you make on error in the chert, you will mate an error in applying the rulea to your trading: XWARLY CHARE: You should Koop a yoarly high and law chart, that is, recording tho oxtrono low and the extrene high price nade during the ealondar year on one line, Tho spacing for the prise can be used one point to each 1/8 inch or two points or mora, according to the activity end range of the stock. MONTHLY CHART: You must elways Koop up ¢ monthly high and ow chart, which is tho most importent chart of ali in determining tho main trend, This chart resords the extreme high and extrono low price fer the culondar month on one Line, end sach epaco or 1/6 inch on the cross-section chert papor shovld represent one point or $2 per chara WEEKLY CHAR: The noxt and ono of tho very importent charts to Koop is a woekly high ond low chart. ‘hero stocks are solling bolow 60, it usually peys to make this chart up using cach 1/6 inch to reprosont one-half poiut, or wo epeces to represent one full point, or four points for each cno-inch spoco. When stocks booome vory active, ospecially when thoy are solling above $100 por sharo, thon you can make up tho wookly chart using ooch spaco or 1/8 inch on tho chart poper ta ropresont cno point or $1 por share.

Me use geonetrisel angles to measure Spooe and Time periods becmise it is a shorter and quicker method than addition or multiplication, provided you folloiz the rules and drew the gles or lines accurctely fron tops aud bottoms or ox- ‘rone highs and lows, You may meke e mistake in addition or multiplication, but the geometrical angles sccuretely crew: will conreot this uistake, Por exemple: Is you should cout across the botton of your chart 120 spaces, which represents 120 eye, weeks, or noxtas, then you begin at "" and nunbor vertically on your chart up to 120- thon from this top point et 120 draw a 45-dogreo angle moving dows, thie will cone ont at "O” on 120 poimts over from the beginning. If you have modo a mistake in nonboring, tits will correct it.

If you wait and follow your rules, these orgies will show you whon the trond changes.

TOW 70 DRA OROMBIRIOAL aNGLES Thora aro threo important points that ws ean prove with mathemetics or geometry: the Circle, the Square, end the Trimgle. stor I have odo tho Square I cen draw a Circle in it using the seme diametor, and thoreby produce the Tri- angle, the Square ond the Circle. The dmglos or moving-trend-line evorages nossure end divide Time end Price imto proportionate parts, efor to Form "I", whore 1 havo dravm the square of 26. You will uote thet this is 26 high and 28 wide~ in other words, 28 up and 28 agross, Tt is the same as a square room which has a totton or floor, a top or petling, and side walls. Bvorything has width, leagth, und height. aD runs fron "0" to "28" diagonally, This is a diagonal line moving on a 45° angle and divides the lergs Square into two equal parts, Thon note angle “BY ut "14" fornis énother 45° ongle moving from tho N. W. cornor ¢#% the S, B. corner, cross— ang "14" ot the oxast half-way point. You goa by this that if wo draw tho first we draw Lines from the other directions, we divide it into four equal parts- then by drawing the two lines from eech corner, we divide the square into 6 equal perts and produce 8 triangles. As you look at this Square, it shoulé be easy for you to vell with your eye where the strongest support point Js or resistance point is. Iv is at the center where all the angles cross. Four angles cross at this point, eo naturally this would be a stronger support point than e place where only one angle cresses. I could divide each one of these emaller squares inte four om eignt equal parts by drawing angles in the sane way. Later, when I give you the rules and exanples, Iwill explain how to square the Range of a stock, that is, the difference be- bween the 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. Por ex- ample: If the top of a stock is 28, this Square of 26 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 Tine, we square the Price with Time. Therefore, when the stock has moved over 28 days, 28 weeks, or 28 inonths, it will be squaring ite price range of 28. PAMIGRN CHART FOR GEOMETRICAL ANGLES The Square of 90, or the Fatuern Chart, shows all the measured angles that are important to use in determining the position of a stock. These angles are as follows: 38, 7£, 15, 16%, 264. 30, 332. 374, 45. 524, S64, 60, 638. 7l4, 75, 824, 864, and 90 degrees. Iv is not necessary to measure these angles with a protractor. Al] you have Lo do to get the angles correct 1s to count the spaces on the chart paper, using 8x 8 to the inch, and draw Uhe lines of angles accordingly. On ths square of 90, which you will receive with these instructions, note how equal angles drawn from the top and fron the bottem prove themselves by the point at which they cross. For example: The angle of 8 x 1 drawn from "O" and the engle of 8 x 1 drawn from "90" down both cross at 45, 5-5/6 points over fron "0" counting to the right. Then, the angle of 4 x1 from "0" and the angle of 4 x 1 down from "G0", you will notice, cross at ld on 45, equidistant fron the other angle and iwice the measure. The reason why these angles prove this way is because the 45° angle or 48 points or degrees from "oO" to 45 is one-helf of 90 Therefore, paralie argles beginning at "0" going up and at 90 coming down, must cross On a 45° angle or at the gravity center. HOW TO DRAW ANGLES FROW A LOW POINT RECORDED BY A STOCK An example marked "Form 2" shows you the most important angles to use when @ stock is working higher and advaneing. (See page 6) FIRST IMPORTANT GEOMETRICAL Lt The first and always most important angle to 45° or hx 1 draw is a 4S-degree angle or a moving-average Uhat moves up one point per day, one point per week or one point per month. This is 2 45° angle tecause it divides the Space and Time Periods into two equal parts As long as Uke market cr a stock suays above the 45° angle, it is in a strong posivion and indicates higher prices. You cen buy every Line stock reste on the 45° angle with a stop lass order one, two or three points under the 45° angle, but remember the rule— never use a stop GA-8 losa order nore than 5 points wey, Unless stocks are noar the low levols or ast starting in 2 bull narket or selliag at vory low pricos, I alvays nove stop loss order one point wider the 45° angle. if this ongle is brokm by ono paint, you will usually find Chat the trond hay ehangod et leayt tonpornrsly and tho Btook will go lowers an ousy way to calowlete cccurately how to put on this 459 angle is: For oxamplo: If the timo is 28 days, 28 wooks, or 28 months fron tho point whero tho stock was bottom, thon tho angle of 45° must bo 28 points up from the botton and would cross at 28. This is ono of the easiest cngles to pat on and one of tho simplest to leara, You can boat the market by troding againét the 45° anglo alono if you stick to the rule-~ wait to buy a seek on the 45° angle or weit to sell it against the 45° angle. NEXT_IMPORTANT ANGLE is the angle of 2.x 1, or the moving-average which moves up Zs st the rate of 2 points per day, week or month. It divides the space between the 45-degreo engle and the vertical angle inte two oqual parts ond measures 652° That is why it is the next ctrong- est and most important angle. As long as a stock holds atove this angle, it is iu a stronger position than when it is resting on a 45° angle becguse it is a more eovto angle. When « stock breaks wider this angle or 2x 1, or two points for etch time poriod, then it indicates that it will go lower and reach the 45° angle. Remember tho rule of ali anglas: No matter what engl tho stock broake under, it indicates a decline to tho noxt angio bolow At. THIRD IMPORTANT ANGLE, which is still stronger as long as a stock hole above it, “TERY ~~" is the angio which novos up 4 points per day, wook, or south, ‘Ibis angio is ¢x1, or 4 poimtsor Speco equal one period of Pine. It noasures 75° and divides the space between the angle of 2 x 1 and the 909 angle into two oqual parts. ny otock that continues to advance 4 points per day, 4 points por wook, or 4 points por month, end romaine abovo this angle te in a vory strone position as long as it stays above it, but when de breaks udor, it indicates the noxt anglo or next support point secording to the position of tho stock ou no, FOURTH IMPORTANT ANGLE is tho angle of 8 x 1 or the ono that moves up 8 points eT por day, weok or nonth, This anglo nossures 822°, As long as 6 stock .cen hold above this angle on daily, wook~ ly or monthly chart, it is in the strongest possible position, but when it rever— ees trond and declines below this angle, then it indicates a decline to the next angle. NEU ANGLE; It is possible to uso an angle of 16 x 1, or 16 points of Price to Tex one poricd cf Tino, which nosures 0649, bub thig angio is only weed 4n fast, evarcing martots, 2ike 1929; when otocke cre moving up or dowa 16 pointe or nore por wook or par worth. ‘hore are very fev cteske thet will move up 16 points per dey, wook or month, and vory seldom, You will note that with those four inportant angles we show tho strong oF vulligh sido of the narket.

SX LANGLS: Hote the anglo drawa in Groen, marked "Sx 1", which moves up et tho “~~ __ tate of 8 points por day, weok or month, measuring 7122. This anglo is important at times after markets have had a prolonged advance and ares long distanco up from the totton. It ic on importont angie to use ou Monthly end Wookly charts. Thoso aro all the ongles you need ts long as a stock continues to advance and work up und stays above tho ongle of 45° or tha moving-averago of one point por day, wook or month. Wnilo thoro are 360 dogroes in a cirele ond aglos can form at any of thoso @egroes, all of tho Amportant angles form betwoon "O" and 90" becauso 90 is straight up ond dom and the most ocute angle on which a stock can risc. For exemple: The 45° eaglo divides tho space from "o" to "So" 4m half. The angio of 185° is cimply mothor agle of 45° tocause it is ono-helf of tho noxt quadrant batwaon 90 ond 160, 225 ond 516 in a circle are also 45° anglos. Thorofere ali of the anglos valueble in dotornining the trond of a stock aro found Botwaon "0" and "90" degroce. Whon wo divide 900 by 8 wo got the most important angloe to uso~ thon divide At by 5 wo got 30 ond 6° anglos, which are important to uso Lor Tne ond Rosistonce Points.

This was the last big swing of the bear market, a decline of 79 points. The half-way point of this was at 80. In September, 1932 the Averages rallied to 8l-~ then after they reacted to 50 and advanced, getting above the half-way point, and crossed 81, they indicated an advance to 119 anyway, After they crossed the helf-wey point the second time and advanced above 81, they never sold down to it again until they advenced to 1494 in Noverber, 1938.

ANGLES PROM HIGHER BOTTOMS AND LOWER TOPS. What rule should de followed when stocks make higher bottoms end lower tops? As stocks advance and make higher bottoms on the monthly, weekly er daily chart, you should always draw engles from higher bottoms. Then, in the lest section of a bull market, if these important angles are broken from the last bot- ‘om, you know that the trend has turned down. Apply this sane rule as a market declines. Draw the angles from each lover top and watch thet angles until the stocks again cross the 45° angle froma second, third, or fourth lower top. The second lower top or second higher ‘bottom 1s al- ways very important vo draw angles from and to nessure Time Crom as well. Example: Dow-Jones Industrial Avereges— September 3, 1920 - Brtrene high- Novenber 13, 1029 ~ Botton of First sharp decline- April 17, 1089 - Big rally in bear market, second lower top- July 8, 1932 ~ Bxtrome low, final bottom Septenber 8, 1952 - Top of first sharp advance after bear market ended~ March, 1933 - Second higher bottom frem which bull market was resumed. ‘These ere the most important tops and bottoms to draw angles fron. TONS OF MARKET CAMPAIGNS. AlL market campaigns, up or down, move in 3.v0.4 sections. When an advance evarts, the market runs for several weeks or several months and hen halus for several weeks or months, moving up and down over a range of 5 te 20 points, ec- cording tothe price of the steck--then the advance i recuned and the stock crosses the high level of the first section, moves higher, halts again, and reacts for a period of time-- then crosses the top of the second section ani moves up egain for another period of time and elts for the third tine, which is a very important point to watch as markets often culminate at the end of the third section and a digger decline follows, Moot markets run out in chree Important sections er campaigns. However, efter resting and reectirg, if a stock crosees the third top, it will then nove up to the top of the fourth saction, This fourth advence may be @ shorter period of tim than the previcus sections, or in seme cases may consume a greater period of time, especially if the stock is very active and high-priced. Thie fourth top is very important end generally marks a culmination end a reversal for a bigger decline. For example: On Merch 12, 1935 CHRYSLOR MOTORS declined and made low at Sl-- FIRST SECTION of the advance carried the stock up to 49% on May 16 then the stock declined to 414. SECOND SECTION— On June 27 the edvance svarted ard the stock advanced to new high levels, reaching 62% on August 10, which was top of the second section- then there wes a reaction to $74 anda resting pericd. THIRD SECTION— Then there was another advance which started Auguat 28. The stock crossed the top of the second section and reached high at 74 on September 11, top of the third section. Then followed a reaction to 68 on September 21. FOURTH SECTION— In Ocvober the top of the vhird section was crossed and on November 18 Chrysler reached 90, top of the fourth section, where it held for 5 veeks in a 6-point range while distribution wes teking place. This was a most important point to wateh for a final top end e change in trend. Then the Urend turned down, Reverse this rule in a bear narket. Watch the action of the market when it makes the third and fourth decling. But, remember, ina beer market when ral~ lies com, they may make only one section or one move or in extrene cases only make the second section- then reverse ard follow the main trend down, You will find it very helpful to study and watch these various sect iene of @ campaign and by applying the angles from tops and bottoms you can detect the First minor end major changes in trend, STRENGTH OR WEAKNESS DENOTED BY POSITION ON ANGLES _ ‘The angles on the Monthly and Weekly Charts ere of greater importance then those on the Deily Chart because the daily trend can charge quite often, while griy the major changes are chown according Lo the engles on the Monthly and Week- iy Charts, Always consider the distance a ctocl ic from ite beginning point when it breaks any important angle or crosses any important angle.

Ty is eleo in the weakest position when it has broken under tne half-way point Detween any important top or bouton, The longer the tine period has run ard the higher tte price, the weaker the position, for example?

Weakness in a stock dovelops whon St breaks the $/4-point, tho 2/5~point, the 1/z-point, otc., but the position on tho timing englos from tho bottom tells you still more about the woek position. A stock shows its first wocknoss whon it brocks the first inportont angle coming up from tho lest bottom in tho final run in a bull market. WMT A STOCK Is HS STRONGEST FOSITIO A stock is slvays In tho strongest position coming up from a bottom whon it is holding above tac very scuto mglos on tho dally, wookly or monthly charts, aspociclly on monthly and weekly charts. As long 09 @ stool holds stove the angle of 2 x 1 (a gain of 2 pointe por doy) on the eily chert, if is im a vory strong position ca far as the botton is cencornod.. In fact, it is always ino strong positien on the daily as lone cs it holés above the 45° angle. The sao applies to weokly and monthly charts, which are the most importent trond indicators.

WHEY ANGLES FROM EXTREME TOP The 46° angie draim from the oxtrono high point of a stock is most importent ond when it is crossod, a major move nay te expected. For exanplo On the weekly chart of the Dow-Joncs Industrial Averages, note tho 45° onglo moving domm from 386, the high of Septonber 3, 1929. January 12, 1985 wes 279 wooks fromthe 1828 top.

Years of experience and research, which has cost me a lerge amount, of noney have enabled me to develop a method that will account for 211 market, movenonts and give rules to determine the trend from any top or bottom. It is important to know how to determine the trend hen a stock is first Listed on any exchange. When a stock has never fluctuated before, we have no top or bottom to draw angles from, Therefore, in order to determine the trend, we use the square of 90, which is 90 up and 90 across, and put 21] the natural argles on, 1ike the Patvern’Chart. As we have said before, the square of 90 is very Important because ib is one-quarter of a circle of 380°, and as 90° or the ver~ vical argle is vhe greatest angle that can be used, all of the other angles are found between "0" and "sO", If a new stock opens at 18 o any point below 222, then you could make out a square cf 22h to determine the position of the eteck on angles. If the otock opened at 36 or any point between 224 and 45, you could make up a square of 45. If it opened at 50 or 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 its proper position and strength or weakness on angles. If the stock opened 2t 100 or ebove 90 and under 135, you could make up a square of 135, or could make another square of 90 numberifig fron $0 to 180. You could start a monthly chart ona square of $0 at the price where the Stock opens or trading begins, as shown on U. S, Steel, (Refer to Special Analy- sis of U.S, Steel.) Arter the stock breaks any of these ratural angles drawn from "OF it is just the same es breaking under an angle drawn fron a dottem. When it crosses any of the angles drew down from "$0", it is just the same as crossing an argle from a top, a6 you can sce by experimenting with U. 6. Steel or any other stock, but always consider price resistance levels and how much the stock is up or down from the botton er Lop. You can determine the fire change in trend by the 3-day or semi-weekly Chart, daily chart, and weekly chart by bringing up the important Gsonetrical Angles from any higher or lower bottom ac the market Movements develop. -—QUICK CALCULATION OF ANGLES It is not necessary to drew these angles fron a point a long way back, ‘You can meke the calculation and devermine where they cross. For example: Sup~ pose in 1600, in the month of January, a stock made bottom at 15, and we wish to calculate where the 45° angle will cross 10 years later in January, 1910, The 45° angle rises at the rate of one point ser month- then IO years vould be 120 points or menths-~ add this to 15 at thy Sottom-— then the 45° angle would eross at 13 in January, 1910. All of the other angles nay be calculated a lone period back in the same way, ious DOM SX 2 ANGLE: This onglo of 2 x Z on tho lof sido of the 49° angle risos at the "pate of" 8 points in 12 nonths, A stock mast show a gein of G/4-point por month in order to keep cbove thie angle, Tais angle con bo used whon other Suportant unglas from the botton hava eproad fer apart, nz it will show the position ond rosistanco er support point betwoon tho other angles.

You cen begin this square of 90 from mny botton or top, thet is, going up 90 points, or fron the natural points, which are 90, 183, 180, but you mist not rail to square the oxtrome low ond high price us well as the second ond third lower tops and higher bottoms with Mno. HUIE POR XEPING TIME PERTONS ON CHARTS Xt is very important that you koep tho tine periods on cll of your charts, rying then ceross from the botton end top of each important move in order to chock up end Imow that you have your cngles or moving-averages at the corroct point and to seo where major and minor cycles indiente chonges in trend. Ting PERIODS RON BOTTOMS: “hon a stock makes bottom one month and then the following month makes a higher bebtom and o higher top, or anyway, after i makes a higher bottom ond rallies for one month er mere, you oen start aunbering fron thst betton, The month that it makee the lew be— Longs to the 01a or Gewward mevenont and to the Test nove dom. You Pirst month up es one end then number scross on the 1/2-Inch squares, thom ecross, edding four each time. For example: If ¢ stock has made bottom ond advanced 60 points, you look dom at the botten of the chart and Pind that you are on the 25th month- then the eagle of 2x 1, noving up 2 poiats por month, woulé cress et 50, while the 45° angle, moving up one point per mouth, would be at 28, and if the stock broke back under $0 the following month, it would bo falling under the angle of 2 x 1 ond indicote a further decline, ‘Nor, if you had an error on the chart in the timing or numbering across from the bottom, then tho noving-everege Line or engle would not cone out correctly. TIS PERIODS PROM TORS: Artor a stock has advanced and made on extreme high end reacted for a few days, a ferweoks, or a fow months, ané you start putting on the aagles from the top down, you must then togin te number tho time poriods acrose fron tho top. Apply the came rule for the top: The month, wool or day that a stosk makes ox- ‘trome high finishes the vpward movement and is not te be counted. You can count the number of days, weeks or months moving scross after thet, ellowing the top month to be "0", the next month, woek or day over to be "1", adding 4 across on the squares to get the correct position, If this Mne Period is cerriod across on ell the charts correctly, then you can always check up and find out if you have made any mistake in bringing down the engles or moving-cverage lines. For exomple: After a stock has declined 75 points, either on a weekly or monthly chert, the angles move down the same, exsopt where the spacing is dif- ferent. Assusing that the spusing is one point pr oue-eighth inch, after it hos moved down 75 points and a}l tho angles are drevm down fron the top, there nay be eo error ia the angle of 2 x 1 besausy your ruler may havo slipped and you nay not heve placed it correctly after it 4: dom a Aistanco from the top. Now, in order to prove exactly where tho onglo of 2 x 1 cones out, you determine the number of time periods there are. ff 40 gaye, wooke or nonthe heve boon required to docline the 75 points, the angle of 2 x 1 moving dom ? points per unit of time, would be down 80 from the top. If you find that this angle does not cross at 80, thon you mow that you mado an error and should correct it. This is a simple vay to alrays mow when the engles or woving-Linos ere correct because you simply add the novenont to the botton and subtract it fron the top. Suopose the price referred to above, when the stook has declino’ 75 points, wos 150, thon subtracting 80 fron the tep st 150, the angle wonld cr at 70, "end the prico of the stock dowm 75 points would be et 75, theroforo it would've above the angle of 2 x1 fron the top and in position for a rally if, ‘the time cycle indicated it. PORTS FROM WHICH 20 NUMDER TIME Ps ‘os, Ant on, The most importent p 9 Fonthly high and low chart to cerry the time period from is from the extrams low of tho life of s stock ond sleo from the dete of incorporstion or from the date trading in the stock began on tha New York Stock Exchange. From tho oxtremo low point the time poricd showld al- ways bo carried across on tho chart just the samo as tho Anpertant angles should be continued right along for years. The next important point to number fron is a second or th! é higher bottom, but you should not consider bottom shed until uhe market has held up or advanced three Lo Four monuhs, hen commence numbering frem hat botron if Lt appears to be important. Fer example U.S. STREL was incorporated February 26, 1901, Numbering the months across you will note that February, 1931, was 360 months, or 30 years, fron the date of incorporation. Then start a new cycle and begin numbering across from "O", This will be working out the second cycle or circle of 360°. ‘The next important point is the extrene low of 6} made May 14, 1904. On Une monthly chart carry the numbers across from this bottom, because it is the lowest bottom and therefore the most inportant. Note this 30-year cycle or 360 months ended May, 1934, ‘The next important point vo nunber from and draw the angles fron, is the low of 21 in Gcuober, 1907, the first higher bottom. Then, the next important is the third higher bottom made in February, 1915. Always draw the angles and nun ber the motiths ecross from eny other important, bottoms where campaigns stert. Use this same rule at tops. After top is reached and the trend turns down, then cerry the vine numbers across from the top, but after any top is crossed or otto is broken that you are numbering from, then do not count thet top or DovLom of imporyance to number from; except to determine a tine period on another cycle 5, 5, 7, 10 or 20 years ahead. Tops that stay for a long time without be- ing crossed are always the nost important to carry the Time Periods from. The extreme high reached by a stock is alvays most important until vhat high is crossed- then the next high point made on a secondary rally, which 1s always a Lower vop, is the next most. important top to number from. Por example! On U.S. Stee] you would cerry the monthly measurement across first trem the high in April 1001~ then from Une extreme high in October, 1909, and next from the high in May, 1017 then from the final high in Septenber, 1929, be ing the most impertant to measure from, and also number from the April, 1980 Yep ANDUBTRIAL AVERAGES: The Dow-Jones 30 Industrial Averages reached oxtreme high on September 3, 1929-— then declined sharply in the panic, Feaching low in Noverber 1929-~ from this low there was e rally to April, 1930, whlch was the leet high and very important to number from because it was ‘a secondary top, the last rally ine bull market. After final low of the bear market was reached on July 8, 1982, a sharp rally followed to September, 1932, when Lop Was reached— then & slow decline followed, reaching botton in late February and early 1958, making this a secofdary higher bottom, fron which stocks advanced to new high levels. The Dottom in 1992 is the mst important to number from and the next dovtom of March, 1933 is next in importance. Apply this same rule to weekly and daily bottoms and tops. Discontinue the Line periods when any minor top or boutom is exceeded and carry only the main figures on Lime periods from important tops and boltoms es long as they remain unbroken, The rule for discontinuing the use of tops and bottoms for Time Periods is: When a bottom er top is exceeded by Uhree points, then discontinue the tine period from that bottom or top. Always note the aunber of months between extreme high and between extreme low points and nove what angle the Lops and bottoms come out on, 19 1 This is one of the most important and valusble discoveries that I have ever made, and if you stick strictiy to the rule, and always watch a stock when Price is squared by Tine, or when Time ani Price cone together, you will be able to forecast the important charges in trend with greater accuracy. The squaring of Price with Time means as equal number of points up or down balancing an equel number of tine pericis--either days, weeks or months. For example: If a stock has advanced 24 points in 24 days, then moving the 45° angle or moving-everege-line up at the rave of one point par day, the timing Line or sine period end the price of the stock are at the same level and the stock is resting on @ 45° angle and you should watch for an important change in trend at thie point. If a stock is to continue uptrend end remin in a strong position, it mist continue to advance and keep above the angle of 45°, If it breaks back under this argle, then it is out of ite equare on the beer cide of che 45° angle end in a weaker position. When you are squaring out Time on a daily chart, look at the weekly high and low chart and monthly high end low chart ani see if the stock is ina strong position and has yet to run out the tine periods, because on a daily chart it has to react and then recover a position, squaring its price many tines, as long as the weekly and monthly point up. Market corrections or reactions are simply the squering out of minor time periods ani later the big declines or big advances are the squaring out of mejor tine periods. SQUARING 1 Refer vo Form #12, where a renge of 12 points is shown from 49 lov to 60 high. Hox, suppose a Stock remains for several weeks or several months, moving up or down, in this range, never getting 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 beck to the bottom: then back to the top of the range again, moving is up or down over this range until the stock breaks out into new low Jevele or new high levels. You will find that every time the 45° angle reaches ube Lop of this range or the bovtom of this range, there is sone inportant change An trend of the stock. ou san also use the angles of 2x 1 to the right of the 45° angle and the 2x I to the left ce they eysin divide une Tine Period into two equal parts and If a stock finally moves out of this range on the up side, then the angles would begin at the new and higher bottom and move up, but from the point where the stock went inte new high, or from any important bottom made while it wae in the range, especially the last bottom that it made, which would be most important you should then begin an angle at that bottom and Continue on up again; watch When this angle is broken or when Time is squered out again with Price, which would be important for another change in trend, either major or minor. oxtromo high, with Pino- shon tho and l- 9 cen square tho Range, that is, the mumbor of points from oxtreme low to ware the oxtrone low point with Tamo- und square oxtreme high point with Time, Tihoa the market passes out of these squares dréuks important angles, the ‘trend changes up or dom, The range thet a stock nakes botweon extreme high end extrono low can be squered so long as it remains in the same price range. I? the range is 25 points, it squares with 26 pericisof Time—- days, weeks or nonths, Continue $0 uso "this time period as long as it steys in the sane range. SQUARING TIME WITH BOTTOM OR EXTREME Low PRICE: The next important Price to equere with Time ic tho lowost price or bottom of ony importent decline, For example; If the bottom of a etock is 25, then at tha end of 25 days, 25 weeks or 25 mouths, Time and Price ure equel. Ther watch for e change in trond as based on its bottom or lowest selling price, os a stock coutinues to hold one bottom and advances, you cen alvays ase this time period ruming scross and continuing tho tine period, noting overy time it passes out of tho squares, Yatch especially when the stock roaches the third square, the fourth square, and again the soventh end ninth squeres of its tino poricd. These squares only cocur frequontly on the daily or weekly charts, es tho nouthly, in most cases, would move owt of c range, up or doim, before it squared a bottom as meny as 7 or 9 tines. However, this does sometimes hopgen when a stock is in a narrow renge for neny yeurs, SQUARING TREE WITE TOP OR ALTREME HICH PRICE The other important point to
