cycle due in 2001 and many people lost money on it. Brad demonstrates the use of Uranus (Helio) in his books....talk to Kmelby0001@a... on the books. Many people with those originally thought Brad listed ALL the cycles for the markets. He did not. When the Soybean 2001 failed to come in (as of yet) many lost faith in Brads methods. Knowledge of other cycles and a "core" understanding of how they relate to the structures found in financial markets is the goal of reading those books. Brad left large gaps in the actual method. He "walks around" a key ingredient that begins to unlock the books. Brad states also that his analysis goes well beyond Gann. Gann used numbered squares to define the extent of price and time. Brad fuses these together in vector form to locate points of force. One can spend years in those books. A better place to start I think is the natal chart. Many people underestimate the natal. The reason for this I believe is not knowing what chart is the correct one. Using the wrong chart can get you no resonance (in other words it fails). So you walk away thinking that the natal concept does not work. This is completely false.
