Conjunction - two planets are at the same longitude

Sextile � two planets are at a distance of 60 degrees from each other

Square � two planets are at a distance of 90 degrees from one another

Trine - two planets are at a distance of 120 degrees from one another

Opposition � two planets are opposite at a distance of 180 degrees

Astrologers also apply:

Semisextile, two planets are at a distance of 30 degrees

Semisquare, two planets are at a distance of 45 degrees

Sesquisquare, two planets are at a distance of 130 degrees

Quincunx, two planets are at a distance of 150 degrees

Rule 1: Simultaneous planetary ingress of a planet and the sun during the same day
means high probability if the trend reversal on the same day.

Rule 2: Simultaneous planetary ingress of a planet and the sun during two
consecutive days suggests the trend is about to change during these two days.

Rule 3: On the day, when only a planet or only the sun enters a new Zodiac sign,
you need a confirmation by additional astrological signals. If there are such
confirmations, this satiation may result in the trend reversal. But this signal is
not so important as simultaneous planetary ingress of one, or a few planets, and
the sun.

The Retrograde motion is important for the market on the days when it starts and
ends.
When the start or the end of the Retrograde motion coincides with other
astrological phenomena, it increases the probability of a momentum move at this
moment.
The influence of the Retrograde motion of each particular planet on each particular
instrument needs to be studied separately, as the effect and the power may be
different.
The Retrograde motion is featured only by the planets, moving around the Sun.

Next, I analyzed all days, starting from January 1, 2018 to see how the planet is
moving clockwise. However, at the shift between March 23 and 24, the planet started
moving in the opposite direction, so, the Retrograde motion started.

It is clear from the cosmogram that Mercury stopped at 19 degrees on the


protractor.

If we continue going through the days one by one, we�ll see that, between April 19
and 20, Mercury changes the direction and starts going clockwise again.

You see that the motion stopped at 5 degrees on the protractor.


Finally, I marked the dates when the Retrograde motion started and ended. For the
accuracy of the experiment, I continued my observations, which I marked in the
chart above.

I was myself surprised, but each date, when the movement in the opposite direction
started, exactly matched to the start of Bitcoin downtrend or a bearish momentum.

I marked the lines (24.03 / 31.07 / 20.11) with blue in the chart above.

The next date when the Retrograde Mercury motion starts is March 7, 2019. And so,
we can expect a downtrend around this date.

I marked the dates of the Retrograde motion end with orange lines. It is clear in
the chart above that these levels are not so accurate, but they quite often match
to the bullish corrective wave or mark its soon start. The dates are 19.04 /
23.08 / 08.12.

The next date of the Retrograde motion end is March 31, 2019. Therefore, around
this time, I can assume at least a bullish correction.

If you think that I adjusted the dates to the BTC price chart, I suggest you check
them on your own. It is very simple.

Finally, as a result of my research, there are levels, which are already sufficient
to identify the point and the direction to enter and exit a trade in future.

You will be lucky if the price for your trading instrument is about 360 USD. In
this case you can safely apply the ratio of 1 USD - 1 degree. Since Gann worked in
the US commodity markets, where all prices were quoted in dollars and their price
was much higher than 1 USD or 2 USD, the problem was solved quite simply. By
default, he just applied this ratio - 1 to 1. Consequently, the product price that
was more than 360 USD was converted into longitude very simply. If every 360 USD is
a whole circle, then all conditionally completed circles were discarded and there
was a remainder, which determined the longitude of the current price on the
cosmogram.

For example, bitcoin current price is 3679 USD; therefore, it is 10 circles, 360
degrees each. The remainder of the last circle that is 79 USD; it defines the
longitude on the cosmogram.

Considering the current cryptocurrency market situation, this methodology doesn�t


suit very well because it doesn�t take the market volatility into consideration. It
is obvious that for the instrument, whose price is about 1 USD and for the
instrument that can cost 10 000 USD, the increment of 10 dollars will have a
completely different meaning!

What should those do, who trade the instrument, cheaper than 1 dollar? And what
should those do, whose instrument is quoted not in dollars but in bitcoins, for
example? Then, the price can go down as low as one hundred millionth (0.00000001)

For these cases, I offer an alternative way to convert price to longitude. To do


it, I suggest using the following formula:

Since, according to the zodiacal circle or the cosmogram, the Sun makes a circle
within one year in the geocentric model, and the earth makes one circle around the
Sun in the heliocentric model, I suggest using one past year to calculate the
formula.

To test this model, I�ll take the low and the high of 2017, in order to check the
data obtained by the BTC/USD price movement in 2018.

Therefore, it is clear from the above chart that the low of 2017 is 755 USD, and
the high is 19666 USD.

I enter these values in the above formula and have the following:

(19666 � 755)/360 = 52.53 USD

As a result, I get the ratio of 52.53 USD = 1 degree of the diagonal.

Now, remember what planet combinations Gann defines (I wrote about it above).

For this method, Gann pays special attention to the following combinations:

Square � two planets are at a distance of 90 degrees from one another

Trine - two planets are at a distance of 120 degrees from one another

Opposition � two planets are opposite at a distance of 180 degrees

Now, my objective is to identify what planet currently influences the market.

To do it, I take the first local extreme, recorded in the new year, for the
analysis.

At my experimental square, it is the local high of January 6, 2018 at 17234.99 USD.

Next, I convert this price to degrees, considering the increment. So, I divide the
price level into the increment size:

17234.99 / 52.33 = 329.35

Finally, I have 329 degrees longitude at the Zodiac circle.

For clarity, I marked this value at one of the angles of Trine or simply a triangle
in the figure above.

As a result, you see that this level is at Aquarius. As I�ve already wrote, each
Zodiac sign has 30 degrees. At the Aquarius sign, the price is at degree 29.

Now, I need to identify the planet that will be the closest to its Zodiac sign,
compared to 29 degrees.

It is clear from the figure above, that the closest is Uranus at 25 degrees in
Aries.

Next, already taking Uranus location into account, I draw a triangle and a square.

I got five more longitudes:


Three longitudes, indicated by the square are 115 degrees, 205 degrees, 295 degrees

Besides, 205 degrees will be here the strongest longitude as it is in opposition to


the current Uranus location.

Two longitudes, indicated by the triangle are 145 degrees and 265 degrees.

Therefore, I have the following levels:

Three values, suggested by the square are 6017.95 USD, 10727.65 USD, and 15437.35
USD.

Two levels, indicated by the triangle are 7640.18 USD and 13867.45 USD

I marked these levels with dots at the studied date of January 6,2018.

Since all celestial bodies are constantly moving, I need to regularly update these
dots.

Uranus is in a distant orbit of the sun, its movement along the cosmogram is very
slow, and so I don�t need to correct the values every day.

In total, till 30.09.2018, that during 10 months, Uranus moved by just 7 degrees
and is at 32 degrees longitude of the cosmogram.

Therefore, all key levels have also moved by 7 degrees. So, I need to correct them,
according to new angles. I have the following levels:

Three values of the square are 122 degrees or 6384.26 USD, 212 degrees or 11093.96
USD,302 degrees or 15803.66 USD.

Two values of the triangle are 153 degrees or 8006.49 USD, 272 degrees or 14233.76
USD.

I also mark these levels with dots in the chart. Now, I can connect the identified
intervals and so, find out the support and resistance levels.

As you see from the chart above, the level of 205 degrees or 10727.65 USD really
was the strong support, and the market hadn�t been going lower for quite a long
time.

The most illustrative is the level of 115 degrees or 6017.95 USD. This level was a
powerful support to the market and the BTCUSD ticker hadn�t been able to break
through for 8 months.

I emphasized September 30 not by chance. That matter is that on the night from
30.09 to 1.10 the Retrograde motion, I describe above, started.

As you remember, this event means the trend reversal. In this case, it was soon
followed by a new bearish wave after a long consolidation.

If you scroll the cosmogram calendar forward, you can see that this motion ends on
February 21. Therefore, the end of the Retrograde motion may harbinger the trend
reversal or at least a strong bullish correction.

During its Retrograde motion, Uranus angle reduced by 3 degrees and became 29
degrees.

Therefore, I again need to correct the key levels.

The new values are in the chart above.

I go on tracking the history of movement and see that the ticker broke out the last
key support at 6384.26 USD.

What are the support levels below?

It is only the angle of the planet position left.

LiteForex: Gann Cosmogram: Cosmogram (unknown Gann methods part 5) | Liteforex

In the given case, for Uranus the angles are 25 degrees on 06.01.2018, 32 degrees
on 30.09.2018, and 29 degrees on 21.02.2019.

So the last edge before the abyss is, first, at 1308.25 USD, next, it is 1674.56,
and, finally, it is 1517.57 USD.

I marked these levels in the chart above.

So, I described the way to convert the price to longitude according to Price and
Longitude Conversion Method.

In order to fully apply this method starting from January 6, when I identified the
first extreme, I also need to find out the closest planets with short orbits, such
as Mercury, Venus and Mars. If the rapid and slow planets are far from the chosen
extreme, I will need to choose another one.

The planet deviation from the price shouldn�t be more than three degrees.

If you check the location of rapid planets on January 6, 2018, you�ll see that the
fast planet nearest to the price level is Mars (24 degrees, compared to 29
degrees), but the difference is still too big.

To choose another extreme, the perfect will be the one, marked at the levels,
identified by means of the planet with long orbit. In the given example, it is
Uranus.

LiteForex: Gann Cosmogram: Cosmogram (unknown Gann methods part 5) | Liteforex

It is clear from the chart above that the ticker obvious formed a peak at level
5920.72, close to the last level of Uranus square.

I convert 5920.72 to degrees and get 113 degrees.

By means of cosmogram circle, I find out that 113 degrees are at 23 degrees at
Cancer signs.

Now, I look at the location of the fast planets with a close position angle on the
map in relation to its Zodiac sign.

You see from the cosmogram (see the figure above) that the most suitable position
among the fast planets is taken by Venus � 24 degrees at Aquarius sign.

Next, I find out Venus angles, suggested by the triangle and the square and track
their movement in the price chart.
Finally, I get the following angles 54 / 84 / 144 / 204 / 234 degrees.

I convert them in USD and have:

2825.82 / 4395.72 / 7535.52 / 10675.32 / 12245.22 / 16954.92 USD

For a detailed analysis, I take only the angles that are the closest to the
extreme; they are 84 / 144 / 204 degrees or 4395.72 / 7535.52 / 10675.32 USD

Next, I go on updating the chart daily and monitor the ticker movements in relation
to the levels identified.

You see from the chart above that the longitude of the square and the triangle
angles to Venus is constantly increasing, following the planet motion. Eventually,
each of these lines will go along its 360 degrees and its development will end. But
somewhere below, there will be a new line, resulted from the angles� movements.

It is clear from the chart that the breakout of Venus short lines drives the ticker
to the level of Uranus long lines. Finally, I can find out the points to enter and
exit a trade and act according to the rules of channel trading and trend trading
strategies.

For example, when crossing the equator, i.e. 180 degrees, the opposite angle will
create in the chart a new point with the size of one degree or 52.33 USD.

Now I draw Mercury levels from the current values.

To do this, I enter the value of the last extreme in the date box; it was formed on
December 15.

Next, I find out Venus position on cosmogram at the movement. Then, I identify the
angles of the square and the triangle in relation to the calculated planet angle
and convert the degrees to the price levels.

I consecutively switch the date counter and make sure that the planet does not
enter Retrograde motion. I don�t usually see more than two weeks ahead for middle-
term analysis.

For the next points, I enter 01.01.2019 in date box.

According to the new date, the planet will move along the Zodiac, and so all the
five angles, identified before will also change.

I convert the new values to price levels and mark them in the chart. I connect
these two points with a line, whose direction can be projected into future.

Finally, there are two channels, where the ticker is trading. One is formed by the
long blue lines of Uranus; another one is bordered by the short red lines of Venus.

Therefore, since the market is in Uranus Retrograde motion, the ticker is likely to
break out the support level at the red channel. Besides, the instrument can move
inside this channel as its upper border is near level 6000 USD. There, there is the
next level of Uranus blue line, which is currently the strong resistance to the
cryptocurrency traders.
For a more detailed analysis, I need to study other Gann levels, identified earlier
by means of other methods.

The main advantage of this method is that it is compatible with any trading
strategy for middle-term and long-term trading.

That is all I wanted to write in this part, devoted to Retrograde motion of


celestial bodies and the Price and Longitude Conversion Method.

In the next post, I will describe specific combinations of different planets on the
cosmogram and the method of combined application of astrology and the Square of 9.?

Besides, it is important which planets make up a Trine or a Square. Gann in his


studies observes the motion of 9 planets, they are: the Sun, the Moon, Mercury,
Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune.

Sun - Mercury

Venus - Saturn

Mars - Jupiter

I should say a few words about the table itself. As you see from the figure above,
it looks like a separate section for each planet pair, where I mark the market
response to each of the three Aspects: Square, Trine and Conjunction.

The lines include four market phenomena:

bullish momentum
bearish momentum
trend reversal
flat or sideways trend

I count a bullish or a bearish momentum in case of a strong market movement during


the astrological phenomenon adjusted for one day before or after; trading flat, as
you see, marks no market response to a studied phenomenon. Besides, it should be
noted that at the time of an Aspect there was a strong movement and the trend
reversed on the next day (as in the above example), I give a score to each of both
events.

Out of all planet pairs, the trend reversal corresponded most accurately to the
Conjunction of the Sun and Mercury; in 56% of cases, it matched to the start of a
new trend; furthermore, 71% of all signal sent by the conjunction were bullish and
only 14.5% - bearish.

Therefore, I can already single out one specific combination of planets for future
analysis; it the conjunction of Mercury and the Sun, which suggests a favorable
situation for a bullish reversal.

The most bullish pair for BTCUSD in Trine was Mercury � Saturn; 80% of all Trines
for this pair corresponded to a bullish momentum. At the same time, 36% of all
signals were followed by the trend reversal.

Therefore, I should mark for myself, another discovered specific combination of


planets that works for the BTCUSD. If Mercury enters Trine to Saturn, an impulse
upward movement is 80% to occur. In case with bearish trend, there might be a
bullish pump.

Perhaps, one of the most controversial Aspects for BTCUSD was Square. It
corresponded to a large number of both upwards and downward momentums.

On the other hand, there is no particular pair of planets that will send a certain
type of signals, so the signals of Squares should be the most reliable.

The Square of Venus-Saturn indicated in 100% out of 100% the bullish momentum.

However, at the same time, Venus-Mars and the Sun-Saturn in 100% indicated the
bearish momentums.

Conjunction, the Sun-Mercury suggests a high probability of the trend reversal and
bullish momentum;

Trine, Mercury - Saturn - high probability of a bullish momentum;

Square, Venus-Saturn - high probability of a bullish momentum;

Square, Venus-Mars and the Sun-Saturn - a high probability of a bearish momentum.

Roughly outlined, Gann�s trading methodology is based on three major concepts:

Cardinal Square
Principle of price and time agreement
Geometrical angles

In this series of articles, devoted to Gann�s methods, I�ll describe in detail all
the three of these elements from the point of view of theory and practice. I�ll
also describe different variations of combining Gann�s tools with other popular
indicators and trading systems.

The first and the most important element of Gann�s trading system is Cardinal
Square. So, I recommend everybody, who wants to apply Gann�s trading methods, to
start with studying this element.

I recommend reading The Definitive Guide to Forecasting Using W.D. Gann's Square of
Nine by Patrick Mikula to learn more about the theory.

I won�t go too deep into theory in this article; rather, I�ll start with the
practical application of this tool.
Description of a particular case of Cardinal Square � square of 9

Gann himself drew square of 9 on a sheet of lined paper. In the 21st century, we
don�t have to draw it by ourselves. There is a special tool in free access that is
called Gannzilla Pro. It is software designed by a Russian programmer, Artem
Kalashnikov. You can download and run it free of charge.

So, to exploit any of Gann�s tools, you need to through the following algorithm
step by step.

1. Decide on the period to analyze (short-term, middle-term, long-term).

The model is constructed in the following time periods:

For short-term trading � since the previous day till the following one;
For middle-term - since the previous week till the following one ;
For long-term � since the previous period between equinox and solstice till the
following one.

The following timeframes are usually used for analysis:

Short term - ?5;


Middle-term - ?30;
Long-term - D1.

2. Configure Gannzilla settings.

3.Select the points where the price reversed during the chosen period of time.

4. Select the figure and modify its rotation angle so that its diagonals would
cross or be as close as possible to the marked points.

5. Identify the pivot points in the studied period in future.

6. Identify the price �Favourite angle�, based on the circle around.

7. Calculate the price unit and set the key levels.

8. Identify the date and the time of the price reversal.

9. Mark everything on the chart.

So, let�s start with step 1. To exploit the trading instrument most efficiently,
you need to analyze all periods. If the instrument hasn�t been analyzed in the
long-term period, you always start with it. Then, you go on to shorter timeframes.

In this post, I�ll dwell upon long-term analysis. In my next article, I�ll perform
a similar analysis in the middle-term and short-term periods, draw final
conclusions and suggest trading scenario.

Having selected the period to analyze, you need to make the corresponding
configurations of Gannzilla Pro. You move to the left panel and modify the values
starting from the top section. There are correct settings for long-term analysis
below:

Layout
Visible � enable
Clockwise � enable

Check if the above parameters correspond to the values on your screen.

Switch off the highlight for all objects by right-clicking on the right part of the
screen.

If you�ve done everything in the right way, your screen will display the following:

LiteForex: William Gann Theory: square of 9 as analytical framework | Liteforex

The check point is at the right side of the middle horizontal line (marked with the
blue box). At the point, the protractor must always display 0 degrees, and the
chronograph � March 21.

Next, according to step 3, you select the points where the price reversed in the
chosen period.

As I�ve already mentioned, for long-term forecast, you use the range between the
previous period of equinox and solstice and the future period.

To accurately identify the period, I suggest consulting Wikipedia.

As I write this article, it is November, 2018; and so it is the period between the
equinox of September 23, 2018 and the solstice of December, 2018 (I highlighted it
with green in the table below). Therefore, the previous period is from June 21,
2018 (start of solstice) and to the start of equinox on September 23, 2018
(highlighted with red). I also marked the future period that starts on December 21,
2018 and finishes on March 20, 2019 (highlighted with blue).

LiteForex: William Gann Theory: square of 9 as analytical framework | Liteforex

You mark these time periods on the price chart for the trading instrument, you
analyze.

LiteForex: William Gann Theory: square of 9 as analytical framework | Liteforex

Next, you open Gannzilla Pro that has been already modified, and in the Data
section, in the Value box you enter the first date, marked in the chart, that is
21.06.2018.

LiteForex: William Gann Theory: square of 9 as analytical framework | Liteforex

After that, you return to the BTCUSD chart and mark the critical points.

They are the local low of 29.06.2018, the local high of 07.07.2018 and other
extremes of 13.07.2018; 24.07.2018; 14.08.2018, as well as the extremes of
05.09.2018 and 08.09.2018.
(see the dotted lines in the chart below).

LiteForex: William Gann Theory: square of 9 as analytical framework | Liteforex

Step 4. Select the figure and correct its rotation angle.

To do it, you mark the points in the chart within the previous period on the square
of 9 in Gannzilla Pro with green highlight (see the result below).

LiteForex: William Gann Theory: square of 9 as analytical framework | Liteforex

Next, you sort the figures, starting from triangle and finishing with decagon
(marked with the red arrow). Your objective is to select the figure and the
rotation angle so that the diagonals would cross the maximum number of the
highlighted green boxes. If there are a few of such figures, you choose the one
that has fewer angles.

In the given case it is decagon (see the picture below).

LiteForex: William Gann Theory: square of 9 as analytical framework | Liteforex

There are global control pivot points at the outer circle � chronograph. In the
given case, you pay attention only to those that correspond to the analyzed period
till March 20, 2019.

In the zoomed-in picture below, you see that the needed dates are October 15,
November 20, December 26, January 31 and March 8.

LiteForex: William Gann Theory: square of 9 as analytical framework | Liteforex

You mark these dates with thick green lines in the analyzed periods (see the green
lines in the chart)

LiteForex: William Gann Theory: square of 9 as analytical framework | Liteforex

Here, I must note that the first line of October 15 accurately fits the momentum in
the chart, it means high accuracy.

If you aren�t convinced with this coincidence, you can look at the previous global
points.

LiteForex: William Gann Theory: square of 9 as analytical framework | Liteforex

They are 14.04, 20.05, 26.06, and 02.08.

LiteForex: William Gann Theory: square of 9 as analytical framework | Liteforex

Finally, you see in the chart above that all these global levels mark the start of
the strong wave with a deviation of just a few days. In general, the deviation
within 1 or 2 days is quite acceptable, but the movement occurs much closer.

Step 5. You identify pivot points in the studied period in future. To do it, you
move along the diagonals of the selected figure. In the given example, it is
decagon. There, you mark the squares that fit in the studied range and are crossed
with the diagonal lines. As a decagon has as many as five diagonals, you pay your
attention to those, which cross green squares (see the picture below).

LiteForex: William Gann Theory: square of 9 as analytical framework | Liteforex


For clarity, I marked the squares that are in the future period with the yellow
highlight. Those, which have already occurred, are marked with red (here, I
primarily interested in the last month).

Next, you mark these key points on the chart (see the chart below).

LiteForex: William Gann Theory: square of 9 as analytical framework | Liteforex

As it is clear from the chart above, all the five thin red lines are preceding or
accurately coincide with the levels, where there were strong momentums. It is the
further evidence that the square rotation angle on the chronograph circle is
correct.

Next, you mark the points, included in the analyzed period, in future.

These dates are:

01.12.18, 05.12.18, 16.12.18, 25.01.19, 30.01.19, 11.02.19, 25.02.19, 03.03.19

LiteForex: William Gann Theory: square of 9 as analytical framework | Liteforex

As you see from the chart above, there are several series of pivot points that mark
the periods of high volatility, and so, high probability of the future strong
movements. All these series are close to the global key levels (green lines).

The first series starts on December 16 and finishes on December 24, and so, we can
expect a strong momentum within this period. The next wave starts on January 25 and
finishes on January 31. The last group of lines is in the period between February
25 and March 8. You should also pay attention to the single lines on December 01
and 05, and on February 11; they can also indicate a potential strong momentum.

However, these lines are not sufficient to make forecasts. Though, combined with
trend indicators and other reversal signals, these levels may serve to confirm the
price reversal or a future strong momentum.

To complete this analysis, you need to identify the key levels in the price chart.
The needed point is at the meeting place of the price level and the date. It will
be the indicator and the target in the trading system.

However, to make this analysis full-scale, so that we can see the complete picture,
we need to study the middle-term and the short-term periods. Only then we can see
the most accurate trajectory of the future price moves. I�ll describe it next week.

Here, I am about to finish my first article, devoted to Delbert William Gann and
his studies, which I applied to the BTCUSD pair. I hope this information is
interesting and useful for you.

the solstices and equinoxes.
We�ve identified the price extremes during the selected period in the chart
history and marked them on the Square of 9 (marked with green).
We�ve attached the figure to the chart so that its diagonals cross as many as
possible of the marked green squares that show the extremes.
Next, we�ve marked the global critical dates on the chronometer circle, which
are indicated by the figure�s angles.
I�ve marked the future dates in the studied period with yellow, and the dates
that already occurred � with red; thus proving that the drawn angles are correct.
I�ve placed all the dates in the price chart, so that I can identify the most
likely dates of possible future reversals and strong momentums.

Now, I aim at marking the price levels in the daily chart according to the Square
of 9. Once I find them out, at their meetings with the key dates, I will see the
points, which will feature the reversal, a possible start of a new wave or a strong
momentum.

To figure these price levels out, I need to define the price �favourite� angle. It
is quite easy. I only need to have another look at the Square of 9 that was
constructed. The favourite angle is the one that is pointed by the by the median
line that crosses the maximum number of extremes (green squares).

Liteforex

You see from the chart above that the most of green squares are equally distributed
along three diagonals. As known, there can�t be three favourite angles, so, I need
to select a single one.

Gann always paid special attention to the diagonal and cardinal crosses. In the
above figure, I marked the cardinal cross with gray squares, it looks like �+�, and
the diagonal cross looks like X. It is clear that the upper diagonal too much
deviates from these crosses, but the two bottom median lines are quite close to
them.

LiteForex: William Gann Theory: square of 9 as analytical framework (part 2) |


Liteforex

If you zoom in, you�ll see that the upper diagonal is at 1310, and the nearest
angle of the cross is at 1350. The lower median line is at 95 degrees and the
nearest angle of the cross is at 900. Therefore, the upper diagonal is closer to
the cross value, and so, the price favourite angle is at 1310. After you�ve
identified the price favourite angle, you need to modify some Gannzilla Pro
settings. In the Layout section you indicate the Data type as the Price, not the
Date.

LiteForex: William Gann Theory: square of 9 as analytical framework (part 2) |


Liteforex

Next, you need to enter in the Value box the minimum price for the studied period.
Remember, this period for the daily chart we�ve identified according to the periods
of solstices and equinoxes. Finally, we�ve marked the zone, covering the period
from June 21 till September 23.

LiteForex: William Gann Theory: square of 9 as analytical framework (part 2) |


Liteforex

It is clear from the chart above that the lowest value in the zone is the low of
the spike, recorded at 5755.00 USD. So, I take this value as the starting point.

Next, I need to calculate the price unit (Increment), meaning the price movements
between the blocks.

There is the formula to do it:

LiteForex: William Gann Theory: square of 9 as analytical framework (part 2) |


Liteforex

Therefore, I already know the minimum. Now, I need to find out the maximum.

LiteForex: William Gann Theory: square of 9 as analytical framework (part 2) |


Liteforex

It is clear from the chart above that the price high in the studied period is at
8506.70 USD

LiteForex: William Gann Theory: square of 9 as analytical framework (part 2) |


Liteforex

Based on the above formula, the price unit is 30.57 USD.

Next, I need to enter all the calculated data into the Gannzilla settings.

LiteForex: William Gann Theory: square of 9 as analytical framework (part 2) |


Liteforex

Next, I go back to the Square of 9 and mark at the median, pointing to the
favourite angle, the price squares, crossed by the line.

LiteForex: William Gann Theory: square of 9 as analytical framework (part 2) |


Liteforex

It is clear from the picture above that these levels are 5999, 6488, 7222, 8200,
9392, 10860, 12572, 14523, 16729.

The last value is remarkable as it means that the price won�t go higher than 16729
USD within the studied period. Remember, the timeline is the equinox on 20.03.2019.
To find out the support levels in case of a bearish scenario, you only need to
change the increment sign from �plus� to �minus�.

LiteForex: William Gann Theory: square of 9 as analytical framework (part 2) |


Liteforex

Finally, as you see from the chart above, there are the following levels: 5510,
5021, 4287, 3309, 2117, 650 USD.

Therefore, the price won�t go lower than 650 USD until March 20, 2019. Now, let�s
mark the levels in the chart.

LiteForex: William Gann Theory: square of 9 as analytical framework (part 2) |


Liteforex

As you see in the logarithmic chart above, all the indicated levels quite
accurately fit in the extremes of the strong levels in the traded zone, which
proves their importance.

Therefore, if you attach these levels to the key dates, figured out in the previous
article, you�ll get a kind of grid finally.

LiteForex: William Gann Theory: square of 9 as analytical framework (part 2) |


Liteforex

Next, to carry out a more detailed forecast, I need to go through the same
procedure for the middle-term and short-term periods. I�ll write about it in my
next posts. The presented results will be already sufficient for those, who prefer
long-term trading.

As I�ve already written above, all horizontal levels are potential support and
resistance levels. The points where they meet vertical lines will mark critical
points in the chart.

Next, a way to make a further forecast is to apply a Gann fan.

You need to use it in the following way.

In the chart within the studied period, you find the point that is close to the
price peak and draw a diagonal line to the next nearest critical point, where the
wave finished.

LiteForex: William Gann Theory: square of 9 as analytical framework (part 2) |


Liteforex

You see in the chart above that there are multiple diagonal lines that connect
critical points (I marked them with the green arrow). Next, I connect these points
by means of Gann fan.

At first it looks rather confusing.

LiteForex: William Gann Theory: square of 9 as analytical framework (part 2) |


Liteforex

However, if I remove all unimportant objects from the fan, and leave just the zone
from 1 to 8/1, it is more comprehensible.

LiteForex: William Gann Theory: square of 9 as analytical framework (part 2) |


Liteforex
Finally, you see the zones where the trend can develop. In the chart above, there
is one large bearish zone, inside which the local trends were developing. You see
that the price left the local bearish trend and went on in the sideways trend,
already in the bullish zone. Finally, the price couldn�t consolidate outside the
zone of bearish trend, which confirmed the continuous descending movement in the
end.

To find out the BTCUSD future price moves, I need to draw a fan from the first key
point of the last ongoing wave to the nearest key point of the current ticker�s
place in this wave.

LiteForex: William Gann Theory: square of 9 as analytical framework (part 2) |


Liteforex

An this fan, I need to keep all the angles that are more than 1 (see the example in
the chart above).

If the ticker is lower than one in case with the bearish trend, it suggests the
market is strongly oversold and should be soon back at 1/1. In case with the
bullish trend, it is the same. If the ticker goes higher than 1/1, it is likely to
return to the trading zone soon.

The forecast for Gann grid suggests you analyze each cell. The idea is that we
don�t know for sure where the price will be heading for; but when it moves from one
block to another, we understand the range of the price movements inside a certain
cell, and so, we can anticipate the direction of the movement. It is whether the
price will go up or down inside this square.

LiteForex: William Gann Theory: square of 9 as analytical framework (part 2) |


Liteforex

In the above chart, you can see an example of how the price movement inside the
cells is indicated. You see that the trend is developing in the zone between the
angles of 1/1 and 2/1. All cells, where the price was going down, are marked with
downward arrows. The price growth inside a cell is marked with an upward arrow.

If you analyze BTCUSD movements inside the Gann cells, you�ll see that a narrow,
stretched upwards, cell suggests a pulse price movement, sharper than in broad
cells. Besides, if the ticker moves from one zone to the next one inside the same
cell, it is likely to be moving in the breakout direction in the next square. You
should always remember that the trend zone of a senior order always dominates.

To see it clearer, let�s study the example of the current situation.

LiteForex: William Gann Theory: square of 9 as analytical framework (part 2) |


Liteforex

You see in the chart above that the ticker is inside a broad cell in the zone of
1/1-2/1. The current cell is surrounded by 9 other squares. Three of them are
behind, and for the obvious reasons, the market won�t get back there. Next, you see
that square 5 is at the crossing of two zones. Gray zone of 1/1-2/1 has been
already closed, and so, the price can only move to the next trading zone of 2/1 �
3/1. When the price moves through the support or resistance levels without matching
to the key dates, it rarely goes on in the same direction. That is why this upward
movement here will stop and BTCUSD should go on, moving in the purple zone.

Entering cell 4 suggests moving along the diagonal through the key point. This
movement can provide a momentum for a strong bullish correction up to the border of
the bearish zone at 5755 USD.

Entering square 3 suggests moving from the gray zone to the purple one, which means
the sideways trend inside the new zone, going on up to December 16.

Entering cell 2 suggests moving through the bottom key point, and so, there will be
a strong bearish signal of continuous fall down to the next support zone at 2117
USD.

Square 1 suggests the support breakout, not confirmed by the key date. Therefore,
it increases the probability of either a false breakout or a flat.

Therefore, cells number 1 and 5 can be referred to as the zone of a false breakout
or the trend exhaustion.

Squares number 4 and 2 are the zones of strong pulse movements.

Square 3 is the accumulation zone.

LiteForex: William Gann Theory: square of 9 as analytical framework (part 2) |


Liteforex

Based on the above, as the price entered the studied cell through zone 1, the
Bitcoin will hardly drop down sharply. Therefore, it is unlikely to be moving to
square 1 or square 2. It is also unlikely to go to cell 5, as I don�t see strong
attempts to buy the BTCUSD out at the current level. So, square 4 has chances for
the further development but not more than square 3. I suggest the price be most
likely to enter this zone.

If the price hypothetically goes into square 3, the zone of the fan will change.
Based on this assumption, the further movement will feature weaker bears, but still
in the bearish trend. If the ticker closes the cell in the next zone, the will be a
chance for the corrective movement towards 5700 USD.

For a more detailed forecast, I need to draw a smaller grid on a middle-term and
short-term scale. Based on Gann�s principles and analyzing trends on different
scales, I can suggest the future Bitcoin price movements as accurately as possible.
But that will be in the next articles.

Here, I am about to finish my next article, devoted to Delbert William Gann and his
studies, which I applied to the BTCUSD pair. I hope this information is interesting
and useful for you.

To predict BTC price in the middle-term, I need to follow the same logic as for the
long-term forecast, only operating in 30-minute timeframe. Besides, I�ll analyze
the period between the previous week and the next one.

So, the first date to start the analysis will be November 19.

LiteForex: William Gann Theory: square of 9 as analytical framework (part 3) |


Liteforex

I marked the week from Nov. 19 to Nov. 26 with a big translucent box in the chart
above. Next, I identify the extremes, nearest this week�s start � the price high
and low. You see that the nearest extreme is on Nov. 20 at 11:30. I mark this level
in the chart in the same way as for long-term analysis, with the red vertical line,
only the line is dotted to distinguish between different tiers in the timeframe.
Next, I mark the rest of local extremes in same way.
LiteForex: William Gann Theory: square of 9 as analytical framework (part 3) |
Liteforex

The results of my analysis are in the chart above.

I marked the following dates and times:

20/11: 11:30, 17:30, 23,30;

21/11: 12:30;

22/11: 00:30, 04:30;

23/11: 00:00, 08:00;

24/11: 03:00;

25/11: 13:00.

I recommend you to write down these results on a sheet of paper, so that it will be
easier to work with the numbers in future.

Next, we shall configure Gannzilla Pro v.8.2, you�ve already know from the previous
posts. You may have different version of the program, but do not worry, Square of 9
is a basic function of the software.

LiteForex: William Gann Theory: square of 9 as analytical framework (part 3) |


Liteforex

In the settings, you leave everything the same as it was for the long-term
analysis. You only need to change the following parameters:

You change that data type in the Layout section into Time
In the Time section you enter the value of the first extreme that is on 20/11,
11:30;
Increment is 30 minutes
If you analyze the crypto market, then you switch off the option Show trading
days.
The data format must be dd.mm

(see the details in the chart above).

Finally, if you�ve done everything correctly, you should have the following
picture:

LiteForex: William Gann Theory: square of 9 as analytical framework (part 3) |


Liteforex

Where, there will be 20/11, 11:30 in the middle of the square.

The decagon, I constructed for the previous forecast, must be removed, so that it
won�t confuse the current analysis.

LiteForex: William Gann Theory: square of 9 as analytical framework (part 3) |


Liteforex

Next, you mark on the new square the cells that correspond to the extremes, marked
above. After that, like in the long-term forecast, you attach the figure, whose
diagonals cross the maximum number of the marked cells.
Finally, I�ve got an octangle (see the figure above)

Next, you identify the Gann favourite angle. You need to find the median line that
crosses the maximum number of highlighted squares.

If there is more than one and you hesitate, you choose the median that is
surrounded by the biggest number of green cells. If it doesn�t help, you look for
the line that is the closest to the values of the Cardinal and Diagonal crosses
(gray squares).

In the given example, the situation is clear. The favourite price angle is easy to
find out.

It is clear from the chart above that the angle is 144 degrees.

Now, within the identified angle, I mark the cells that are within the current and
the following weeks, that is until December 9.

As the square size covers 10 lines drawn the center, the last date of the square is
on 27.11

LiteForex: William Gann Theory: square of 9 as analytical framework (part 3) |


Liteforex

To mark all the needed dates inside the studied zone, I need to increase the square
size, so that in its lower left corner, there will be the date, further than the
last date in the period, December 9.

Finally, the size of the square is 16 lines from the center.

LiteForex: William Gann Theory: square of 9 as analytical framework (part 3) |


Liteforex

Now, in the new space, I need to mark the cells that are included into the studied
zone.

LiteForex: William Gann Theory: square of 9 as analytical framework (part 3) |


Liteforex

Finally, I have three dates, they are:

03/12, 13:30

05/12, 17:30

08/12, 01:30

LiteForex: William Gann Theory: square of 9 as analytical framework (part 3) |


Liteforex

I mark the new dates in the chart with small blue dots. You see that the red square
form the chart above accurately identifies the moment of the strong momentum, it is
01/12 13:00. So the marked points are highly likely to work out in future. Now, I
need identify the price levels for the middle-term scope. I�ll apply the same
method as for the long-term forecast, described in the previous article (see
Unknown Gann Method: Square of 9 (part 2)).

First, I�ll identify the price low for last week. It is 3657 USD.
LiteForex: William Gann Theory: square of 9 as analytical framework (part 3) |
Liteforex

So, first, I need to find out the price high and the low for last week. They are
3657 USD and 5655 USD (see the chart above).

LiteForex: William Gann Theory: square of 9 as analytical framework (part 3) |


Liteforex

Next, I enter these values in the above formula to calculate the square increment

LiteForex: William Gann Theory: square of 9 as analytical framework (part 3) |


Liteforex

?Finally, I have 22.19 USD

LiteForex: William Gann Theory: square of 9 as analytical framework (part 3) |


Liteforex

I modify Gannzilla settings in the same way as for the long-term analysis, I
described in the previous post (see the chart above). On the Gann favourite angle,
I marked the cells that meet the needed diagonal.

LiteForex: William Gann Theory: square of 9 as analytical framework (part 3) |


Liteforex

Finally, there are the following levels:

3835 USD; 4190 USD; 4744 USD; 5454 USD; 6365 USD; 7430 USD.

Next, I change the increment sign to minus and do the same procedure, marking the
squares.

LiteForex: William Gann Theory: square of 9 as analytical framework (part 3) |


Liteforex

The following cells correspond to the favourite angle that is 144:

3480 USD; 3125 USD; 2570 USD; 1860 USD; 950 USD.

All the obtained levels are marked with the small blue dots in the chart.

LiteForex: William Gann Theory: square of 9 as analytical framework (part 3) |


Liteforex

That is how I construct Gann grid (see the chart above).

Next, I need to construct Gann grid in the short-term period.

Here, I operate in the 15-minute timeframe and the analysis is based on the
previous day to forecast the price for the next one. In my example, I take 01/12. I
will identify the levels for 02/12 and 03/12.

LiteForex: William Gann Theory: square of 9 as analytical framework (part 3) |


Liteforex

I perform the same procedures as for the middle-term prospect. First, I mark the
extremes in the studied period of the previous day. As the daily volatility is
quite strong, I suggest using the volume profile to filter the extremes, so that
you mark only the points that were accompanied or preceded by volume surges. I
marked the levels with green dots.

If it is not clear from the chart, I present the marked points here:

00:50; 02:30; 03:40; 07:30; 09:50; 11:15; 15:00; 17:45; 19:10

LiteForex: William Gann Theory: square of 9 as analytical framework (part 3) |


Liteforex

Next, I need to configure Gannzilla to operate in the 5-minute timeframe.

The date type is Time;

The Time value is at the start of the previous day (00:00);

The Increment is 5 minutes

In the Chronometer section, the Angle is 270 degrees;

The Range is Daily.

LiteForex: William Gann Theory: square of 9 as analytical framework (part 3) |


Liteforex

To check, make sure that the Chronometer and the Protractor have zero values at the
same place on the right of the screen center. If they don�t, you need to check the
settings for the Range and the Angle and corrected them if needed. After that, you
mark all the points, figured out above, on the updated Square of 9.

LiteForex: William Gann Theory: square of 9 as analytical framework (part 3) |


Liteforex

You can see my results in the chart above. Finally, the most appropriate figure for
this square is the symmetric heptagon. Its diagonals bisect the angle, meeting the
maximum number if green cells.

LiteForex: William Gann Theory: square of 9 as analytical framework (part 3) |


Liteforex

The favourite angle is 219 degrees. This line is surrounded by the most number of
green squares.

That is why I�ll identify the future time levels for the short-term trading range
here.

LiteForex: William Gann Theory: square of 9 as analytical framework (part 3) |


Liteforex

As it is clear from the chart above, levels, marked in the chart history, quite
accurately identify the change of the fractal model. Now, I need to find out the
price levels for the short-term analysis. The procedure is the same as for long-
term and middle-term analysis. First, I find out the highs and lows on 01.12.

LiteForex: William Gann Theory: square of 9 as analytical framework (part 3) |


Liteforex

You see from the chart above that, on Dec. 1, the BTCUSD low was at 3953.6 and the
Bitcoin high was at 4338.0 USD. Then, I enter the obtained values in the formula to
calculate the increment for the short run.

LiteForex: William Gann Theory: square of 9 as analytical framework (part 3) |


Liteforex

So, I have:

LiteForex: William Gann Theory: square of 9 as analytical framework (part 3) |


Liteforex

Therefore, the increment is ?=5.37 USD.

Now, I enter the obtained values into the Gannzilla settings and mark the levels on
the Square of 9.

LiteForex: William Gann Theory: square of 9 as analytical framework (part 3) |


Liteforex

The screenshot above displays the right settings.

LiteForex: William Gann Theory: square of 9 as analytical framework (part 3) |


Liteforex

Finally, I have the following levels:

3964 USD, 4018 USD, 4114.7 USD, 4254.32 USD, 4331.53 USD, 4657.07 USD, 4925.57 USD.

Next, I change the increment sign to minus and mark the levels below.

LiteForex: William Gann Theory: square of 9 as analytical framework (part 3) |


Liteforex

I have the following levels:

3942.86 USD, 3889.16 USD, 3792.5 USD, 3652.88 USD, 3475.67 USD, 3250.13 USD,
2981.63 USD

Remember, to mark the price levels, you base only on the Gann favourite angle.

LiteForex: William Gann Theory: square of 9 as analytical framework (part 3) |


Liteforex

I mark the calculated levels in the chart above. So, I have a grid of three tiers:

Blue solid line is the long-term,

Blue dotted line is the middle-term,

Green dotted line is the short-term.

For the analysis, I, first of all, need to identify the series of levels of
different tiers at the same place.

LiteForex: William Gann Theory: square of 9 as analytical framework (part 3) |


Liteforex

I highlighted all the series of levels in the 15-minute BTCUSD price chart above.
As it is clear from the timescale, there is a series of the middle-term and short-
term levels on 03.12 in the period of 13:30 � 14:45.

Based on the BTCUSD price, the resistance zone above is between 4209 and 4287 USD,
where, there stands out a smaller zone, between 4254 and 4287 USD.

Another series is in the support zone:

It is from 4018 to 3942 USD. Inside the zone, there is reinforcement between 3964
and 3942 USD. I hope it goes without saying, how you should exploit the data. There
are multiple short-term levels between the upper and the lower support zone.
Basically, you can operate with the levels in any strategy, using them as
additional signals.

LiteForex: William Gann Theory: square of 9 as analytical framework (part 3) |


Liteforex

There is an example of use in the 30-minute BTCUSD chart above. You see that the
ticker rebounded from the resistance zone and headed down towards the support zone
4114 USD (see the green arrow). Next, there formed white candlestick of the bullish
hammer that sent a buy signal. As the pattern completed at the same time as the
rebound, I can put an early long entry with a stop, lower than the low of the
candlestick tail. Besides, I already know the target; it is Gann level at 4254 USD.

LiteForex: William Gann Theory: square of 9 as analytical framework (part 3) |


Liteforex

Next, you see that the long worked out very accurately, having reached the level of
4255 USD.

LiteForex: William Gann Theory: square of 9 as analytical framework (part 3) |


Liteforex

Now, I can construct the trading channel, drawing the lines along two highs and two
lows. You see that RSI oscillator entered the overbought zone. MACD and RSI don�t
yet send bearish signals, so I can try to put an early sell entry when there is an
attempt to test the high at 4254 USD, and put a short stop beyond the resistance
zone, according to Gann levels, at about 4300 USD. The levels, marked with short
green dotted lines are rather weak and may not set the market move back for the
second time. So, if Bitcoin is heading down, the target should be at about 4018
USD. Close to the level, there is a volume surge, indicated by the volume profile.
It confirms the local buyers� interest at this level.

LiteForex: William Gann Theory: square of 9 as analytical framework (part 3) |


Liteforex

In case bitcoin is going up, I can also use Gann grid to suggest a scenario and
offer some trading ideas for BTCUSD .

If Bitcoin price goes up, it is likely to rebound from Gann level at 4431 USD. When
it is retracing towards the nearest local high at around 4338 USD, I may enter a
long and hold it up towards the next Gann level at 4627 USD. In this analysis, I
consider the key date for the short-term Bitcoin forecast that is on 3.12 at 03:00
GMT. Therefore, if the price hasn�t reached the target by this time, but it is
going up, I can close at least a part of the position to go breakeven is the stop
loss is triggered, or I can completely take the profit, if the indicators and
candlestick analysis suggest signal a bearish correction.

I described one of the simplest ways to exploit those levels. I will describe more
opportunities provided by Square of 9 in my next training article.
https://th.tradingview.com/chart/BTCUSD/xC8hrOEZ-Unknown-Gann-Method-Square-of-
nine-part-1/

I continue describing unknown Gann methods that have been unfairly forgotten, but
still remain efficient despite their inconsistency and mysticism.

Those skeptics, who responded to the previous articles devoted to Gann by nothing
but irritation and laughter, I suggest breathing deeper, because in this final work
I shall talk about the influence of lunar and solar eclipses on the market and the
methods of trading according to astronomical phenomena.

The researches of William Delbert Gann's trade methods note that, despite the many-
sided nature of his approaches, the key factor, determining his trading decisions,
is to study the position of the Sun and the Moon relative to the Earth and the
patterns that exist between these celestial bodies and the market situation.

Gann focuses on four types of lunar and solar eclipses in trading, namely:

Total lunar/solar eclipse

Annular solar eclipse

Penumbral lunar eclipse

Partial lunar/solar eclipse

You can find the full list of solar eclipses for the entire 21st century here:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_solar_eclipses_in_the_21st_century

The list of 21-century lunar eclipses is here

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_21st-century_lunar_eclipses

I won�t distract from the main topic of my articles and so I�ll avoid a long
lecture about lunar and solar eclipses in general. There is plenty of information
on the Internet, as well as, in scientific books, explaining these phenomena in
detail. I will rather describe the eclipse not from astronomical point of view, but
as an astrological phenomenon and its influence on financial markets and trading
instruments.

Since solar and lunar eclipses are quite frequent phenomena and when making
forecasts on a large scale such as a quarter and a month, both events can occur in
the same period. Gann ranked the events in terms of their importance and the power
of influence. It looks like this:

The most powerful event is the total solar eclipses

The second strongest events are the annular and the penumbral lunar eclipses

A weaker influence is made by the partial solar and lunar eclipses

The weakest effect is made, according to Gann, by the total lunar eclipse

Gann�s true eclipse method is based on the search of the above phenomena and
matching this date to other astrological events.

To explain the application of this model clearer, I�ll describe it step by step.

Identify the eclipse date;


Look for any astrological events and combinations of celestial bodies. I
described all these phenomena in previous articles; I�ll briefly explain the main
ones here:
The celestial body ingress into a new Zodiac sign;
Any planetary combinations (conjunction, opposition, semisextile, sextile,
trine, square);
The beginning and the end of the retrograde motion;
Moon crossing of the celestial equator.
All the above events, taking place in the same day before or after the eclipse
equivalent to the same events on the day of the eclipse itself.
The trend rarely changes at the time of the eclipse, but it often happens close
to this date. If the market reverses exactly on the eclipse date, pay attention to
the planet aspects, featured at that time. The trend is likely to reverse again if
the same aspect repeats.

After the eclipse, identify the date when the Moon will cross the celestial
equator and the date when the Moon will make a full circle and return to the place
that was during the last eclipse. If in these days there are any of the above
astrological events, then it is considered to be significant and potentially
important for the studied market.

You don�t look at the final date of the Moon full circle if the market
determined the local high or low at the time of eclipse.

So, we have all the tools to utilize this method now. I suggest we try it in
practice right away.

The chart above presents the projections of dates when there were lunar and solar
eclipses. Lunar eclipses are market with blue, solar eclipses � with red. As Gann
said, these events rarely match to the trend reversal point, but if they do, such
cases require special study. In our example, the interval is taken from last year
until the present time. As can be seen from the chart above, the lunar eclipse was
the very first eclipse in the period studied, it was on January 31, 2018.

LiteForex: Gann trading methods: true eclipse method | Liteforex

Mind the Moon position on this day. It is in the Leo sign, at 121 degrees according
to the celestial protractor. As you see from the cosmogram above, on the same day,
the Sun starts conjunction with Venus; however, the list of astrological events is
far from being complete.

LiteForex: Gann trading methods: true eclipse method | Liteforex

??On the next day, the situation looks far more interesting. The Moon is in
opposition to Venus, the Sun forms a semisextile with Neptune. Mercury is at 300
degrees and is about to cross the border between Capricorn and Aquarius, and I
don�t even mention the conjunction of the Sun with Venus, i.e. in total, there are
4 astrological events. Let�s go back to the third step of the Gann methodology
above, suggesting that all events following the eclipse on the next day are
equivalent to the day of the eclipse itself. Therefore, this eclipse, despite its
weakness according to the eclipses ranking, can be a sign of a strong movement in
future.
Here, the statistics on special planet combinations would be useful. I have already
performed this exercise in a simplified form, but, unfortunately, I didn�t collect
statistical data on the planet combination of sextile.

LiteForex: Gann trading methods: true eclipse method | Liteforex

As you see from the chart above, this lunar eclipse really became an early sign of
a strong market movement. Already on the next candlestick, February 1, 2018, we
understand that the trend did not reverse, and therefore the local bottom was not
formed (see step 6 of the methodology). It means that we can fully apply step 5 in
the analysis and study the dates of equator crossing the Moon full circle (see step
5 in the methodology above).

LiteForex: Gann trading methods: true eclipse method | Liteforex

It is clear from the figure above that the Moon crossed the equator on February 5.
On the same day, there was the square of Venus and Jupiter, the Mercury-Mars
sextile and the Mars-Saturn semisextile. I don�t have any statistics concerning
sextile and semisextile, but I have some observations, regarding the square of
Venus and Jupiter (Unknown Gann Method: Cosmogram (part 5). Based on this
information, in 100% of cases, this planet combination results in the trend
reversal.

LiteForex: Gann trading methods: true eclipse method | Liteforex

The chart above shows that everything happened exactly as the stars had predicted
and on the very next day after the spike just below 6000 USD, the local bearish
trend started to reverse.

LiteForex: Gann trading methods: true eclipse method | Liteforex

According to step 5 of Gann�s true eclipse method, the next important date for the
analysis is when the moon makes a complete circle and comes to the place where it
was during the eclipse. As can be seen in the figure above, this date is February
28. It was on this day, after January 31, that the Moon made a full circle and
returned to the Leo sign with the first step at 129 degrees.

As you see from the figure above, there were many astrological signals on that day.
The figure above shows the square of Mars and Venus. It also shows that many
celestial bodies enters the sign of Pieces. Such multiple signals as a rule result
in strong volatility in the market and oppositely directed movements.

LiteForex: Gann trading methods: true eclipse method | Liteforex

The Mars-Venus square is 100% bearish signal, according to my statistics. As you


see from the chart above, on that day, February 28, there was strong volatility.
The price rose at first and even broke though the previous daily high (it is market
with green circle in the chart above); next, it dropped down and, eventually, the
candlestick closed even lower than the previous closing level. As it clear from the
price chart, bearish signal worked out quite accurately and the the cluster of
planets added uncertainty and volatility to the market, so that, in general, this
behavior was natural from an astrological point of view.

Here, I have basically completed the description of how to apply Gann�s true
eclipse method on the example of the lunar eclipse. As the experiment has proven on
the historical data, one can well anticipate the market behavior by means of
astrology; however, to improve the accuracy, one needs extended statistical base on
how the market responds to a particular planets combinations and other astrological
phenomena.

I want to add that for the solar eclipse, this method works in exactly the same
way. You only need to keep in mind that the most powerful eclipse is the total
solar eclipse, and the least one is the total lunar eclipse, and don�t forget to
pay attention to the Moon position to work out step 5. Moreover, here, the position
of the moon matters regardless of what kind of eclipse you analyze.

Now let's try to look into the future.

LiteForex: Gann trading methods: true eclipse method | Liteforex

If you look at the calendars of lunar and solar eclipses, you�ll see that, in
general, in 2019, only one month, July, is interesting from the point of view of
the true eclipse method. During this period, the total solar eclipse will occur,
which is the strongest in the ranking, and the partial lunar eclipse, which of
course is less important, but, in general, only emphasizes the significance of this
period.

I marked these events with vertical dotted line in the chart above. The red line on
July 2 is the total solar eclipse. The partial lunar eclipse is on July 16.

LiteForex: Gann trading methods: true eclipse method | Liteforex

As you see from the figure above, on July 2, there are the following signals:

Conjunctions of Mars with Mercury and the Moon with Venus


Sextile of Saturn and Neptune
Semisextile of Jupiter and Saturn

In addition, the Moon is at 87 degrees in the Gemini sign.

From the entire above list, I have statistics only for the conjunction of Mars with
Mercury.

Unfortunately, in history, too few of similar combinations are entered into the
base; but from what happened, we see, in fact, either a trend reversal or a bearish
momentum. It is possible that there will be both.

The shift of the cosmogram by one day does not radically change the situation; so
in order to surely understand the direction of this eclipse, we could refer to step
5 of the method and analyze the dates when the Moon will cross the equator and make
a complete circle.

However, looking ahead, I can say that there are no significant signs that could
clearly be interpreted as signs of directional movement on the date of the Moon
crossing the equator on July 9, or at the time the Moon full circle, on July 29.

To find out what this solar eclipse mean, I need to analyze the nearest lunar one,
which can�t but be influenced by the first eclipse due to its close date.

LiteForex: Gann trading methods: true eclipse method | Liteforex

As it is clear from the figure above, 16.07.2019, on the day of the partial lunar
eclipse, there are no powerful astrological events except for the semisextile of
Jupiter and Saturn. However, if you look at the planets dynamics, you can see that
Mercury starts its retrograde motion on this day.

As I wrote in my previous articles, this phenomenon is one of the strongest signals


of the trend reversal. The coincidence of this phenomenon with the date of the
lunar eclipse only amplifies this signal.

LiteForex: Gann trading methods: true eclipse method | Liteforex

Therefore, I may assume that the global bearish trend is likely to reverse during
this period, or, at least, there should be a try to do it.

In conclusion, I want to add an obvious fact that this method must be used together
with Gann�s forecasting techniques, describe in previous articles.

The true eclipse method aims at identifying the areas of the greatest tension in
the market and highlights them among other critical levels that have been
identified by means of such tools as the square of 9 and the Pythagorean method.

Of course, one of the important and necessary tools is statistics on specific


combinations of planets and other astrological phenomena, and how these events
correlate to the price movements of the instrument studied.

It is a really great job that is reasonable to perform by joint efforts. So, if


this number of known Gann�s methods seems interesting to you and you want to make a
contribution in collecting the common, global base of knowledge about the
correlation of astrological events with the Bitcoin price movements, write your
comments below this post and I will definitely contact you.

I continue studying Gann trading methods. In this article, I�d like to delve in a
quite extensive topic, which I�ll try to present on a few pages, conveying its
meaning in simple language. In fact, it is the greatest achievement of Gann�s
studies, as it combines the Cosmogram and the complementing rules of astrology and
his invention, Square of 9.

This prediction method was called after Pythagoras. As you know Pythagoras was an
ancient Greek mathematician and philosopher. His writings say that in the universe,
as in a huge musical instrument, everything is interrelated. In this case, the
strings serve as a portal connecting the physical world and the spiritual world. If
you look at the structure of the Square of 9 or the hexagon chart, you�ll see how
there are attached to the market matrix the protractor and the Chronometer, the
elements of the physical world, and the Cosmogram with planets� orbits,
representing the spiritual world.

This analysis model is also called the orbital geometry or the market geometry.

Besides, each of the circle rings increases by six sections with a new turn. The
last section of each ring matches to the central median, on the left side.
Therefore, a new ring starts when the median is crossed. To make it more clear, I
marked the first value of each circle with blue in the figure above.

While constructing, it is important to make sure that all elements of the hexagon
move counterclockwise: the hexagon itself, the protractor - a circle with degrees,
the Zodiac circle. All elements have the same requirement, they must move
counterclockwise.

The checkpoint is the right central angle of the hexagon which should point to to
zero degrees, on March 21, at the border between Pisces and Aries (see the example
in the figure above). As I�ve already told, the most important combinations for
Gann are the angles of 90 degrees, the Square, and 120 degrees � the Trine, as well
as such phenomena as Conjunction and Opposition. In the hexagon, Gann distinguishes
another angle of 60 degrees. It is made by attaching a Square and a Triangle to the
Gann circle.

LiteForex: William Gann�s trading methods: market geometry and orbital geometry. |
29.01.19 | Liteforex

As you see from the figure above, with the attachment, there appears an angle of 60
degrees (Sextile), marked with a red line, and angle of 30 degrees (Semisextile),
marked with a blue line.

Therefore, angles of 60�, 90�, 180�, 270�, and 300� will be important for analysis.

Gann also distinguishes the planet opposition, and so, it is important to mark such
angles as of 120�, an opposition to that of 300�, and that of 240�, an opposition
to 60�.

The full list of the needed angles includes:

60�, 90�, 120�, 180�, 240�, 270�, 300�

For the further work, I�ll need the results of my recent research, where I
identified specific planet combinations for the BTCUSD trading instrument.

Remember that, according to the results of my last educational article, I


identified for the BTCUSD pair the following planet combinations:

Conjunction, the Sun-Mercury suggests a high probability of the trend reversal


and bullish momentum;
Trine, Mercury - Saturn - high probability of a bullish momentum;
Square, Venus-Saturn - high probability of a bullish momentum;
Square, Venus-Mars and the Sun-Saturn - a high probability of a bearish
momentum.

For Gann�s application of Pythagorean Method, I need a pair of planets that has the
strongest influence on the instrument analyzed. It is clear from the list above
that the BTCUSD is the most influenced by Saturn

As Gann often gives the pair of Venus-Saturn as an example in his studies, I will
do the same, especially since the compilation of these two planets has really very
strong influence on the bitcoin to dollar rate.

To apply my hexagon chart, I need to find out the increment, the ticker will move
from one cells to another.

Earlier, in part 5 (Gann Cosmogram), I already wrote how to calculate the increment
for converting the degrees into the price. IN this example, I can also use the
value obtained. Remember, for Bitcoin, this value is 52.33 USD

To explain how the method works clearer, I�ll apply it first to the history. Making
sure it really works, I�ll try to make a short-term forecast for the Bitcoin future
price.

So, for an experiment, I�ll start from the very beginning of 2018.

LiteForex: William Gann�s trading methods: market geometry and orbital geometry. |
29.01.19 | Liteforex

You see that Bitcoin high was at 13941.75 USD on January 1, 2018.
LiteForex: William Gann�s trading methods: market geometry and orbital geometry. |
29.01.19 | Liteforex

Therefore, the size of the hexagon should be so that a value, higher than this one,
appears in one of the cells. When I find out this cell, I need to check that there
is at least one circle inside the chart.

In the figure above, I marked the price, close to the high of 01.01.2018 with a
blue box. Arrow indicates one more ring inside the hexagon, and the red box marks
the highest value for this last ring at 17269.9 USD.

This value suggests that the price will hardly rise above 17269.9 USD, before the
first combination of the planets chosen, Mercury and Saturn, emerges.

Remember, according to Gann theory, at this stage, we are interested only in the
following Aspects:

Conjunction - two planets are at the same longitude


Sextile � two planets are at a distance of 60 degrees from each other
Square � two planets are at a distance of 90 degrees from one another
Trine - two planets are at a distance of 120 degrees from one another
Opposition � two planets are opposite at a distance of 180 degrees

To start my research of the market geometry applying the Pythagorean method, I need
to monitor each day in the Cosmogram, watching the motion of Mercury and Saturn
relative to each other, in our case.

LiteForex: William Gann�s trading methods: market geometry and orbital geometry. |
29.01.19 | Liteforex

On 15.02.2018 there is the first combination of planets, sextile, i.e. Mercury and
Saturn were at a distance of 60 degrees.

LiteForex: William Gann�s trading methods: market geometry and orbital geometry. |
29.01.19 | Liteforex

Finally, the above figure presents the hexagon chart that consists of six 10 rings.
The red line highlights the beam that marks 60-degree distance from Saturn
position; besides, zero degrees will be always at Saturn. The countdown always
begins from the first level, moving clockwise in the opposite direction. The upper-
level values of the forecast period are always at this line. In the given case,
this line is the beam at zero degrees. The borderline that marks the lower limit of
the predicted range is at 270 degrees.

Therefore, I have 10 forecast periods; each of them follows its own cycle. (I
marked four of them as an example in the figure above). The only question left is
which of 10 rings I need to select.

There is quite a simple principle. The ring of the next signal doesn�t move higher
or lower than the current level; i.e. if I start from ring 9, so, the next point
will be within ring 10 if there is a trend movement upwards. If the price goes up,
the next point will be in circle 8. If there is a sideways trend, the ring will be
the same, in the given case it will be circle 9.

As an exception, the deviation may be to two rings, but this is very rare.

Since the numbers in the figure look very small, I will list them separately:
Circle ?7: 7745.84 � 7902.83 � 8269.14 USD

Circle ?8: 10100.69 � 10310.01 � 10728.65 USD

Circle ?9: 12769.52 � 12978.84 � 13449.81 USD

Circle ?10: 15752.33 � 16013.98 � 16537.28 USD

Therefore, according to the Pythagorean method, on 15.02.2018, the price should be


closed in one of the ranges, presented above.

LiteForex: William Gann�s trading methods: market geometry and orbital geometry. |
29.01.19 | Liteforex

It is clear from the chart above that the forecast completely met the reality.

Remember, in my experiment, I make the forecast, based on the market situation on


01.01.2018 and the Cosmogram data, which are always known to us at any date in the
past and in the future.

You see that on January 7, the BTCUSD trend was bullish; but, according to our
forecast, we understood that 17269.9 USD was the growth limit, as it was the
highest value at that period of the market formation.

Finally, the BTC price couldn�t go higher than 17234.99 USD, which had been
expected.

We understood that the deepest drawdown until February 15 was possible down to the
border of circle 7, at about 7745.84 USD. So, you see that the price dropped even
lower than the suggested level with the lowest point at 5920 USD, which is already
inside circle 6. This situation could have turned into a disaster, but, since we
had predicted most of this drop at the high of 17,000 USD, we managed to hedge
against it.

Nevertheless, we understood that, on 15.02.2018, the price was to be closed within


one of the suggested ranges. So, the drop below the lower level of circle 7
indicated that the market had been oversold and there was a good chance to buy out
at least in the ranges of 7745.84 � 7902.83 � 8269.14 USD.

LiteForex: William Gann�s trading methods: market geometry and orbital geometry. |
29.01.19 | Liteforex

On February 12 already, the price went outside circle 7, and so, on February 15, it
was most likely to be closed inside the circle 8, within the range of 10100.69 �
10310.01 � 10728.65 USD.

Finally, it was almost so with the closing level at 10018 USD.

So, the forecast worked out, and we start to look for the next point of the signal,
indicated by the orbital geometry.

To remember where we stopped, I mark the point, closest to that value, on the map.

LiteForex: William Gann�s trading methods: market geometry and orbital geometry. |
29.01.19 | Liteforex

You level 10048.36 USD in the figure above. It is circle 8, and so, circles 7 and 9
will be the most important for the future forecast.
LiteForex: William Gann�s trading methods: market geometry and orbital geometry. |
29.01.19 | Liteforex

You see that now the angle between Mercury and Saturn is 90 degrees, which
corresponds to the square. I�ll draw a route, starting from the next line clockwise
and ending at 270 degrees.

Now, there are the following circles:

Circle ?6: 5704.97 � 5861.96 � 6175.94 � 6489.92 USD

Circle ?7: 7745.84 � 7902.83 � 8269.14 � 8635.45 USD

Circle ?8: 10100.69 � 10310.01 � 10728.65 � 11147.29 USD

Circle ?9: 12769.52 � 12978.84 � 13449.81 � 13920.78 USD

LiteForex: William Gann�s trading methods: market geometry and orbital geometry. |
29.01.19 | Liteforex

We see in the end that during the studied period of time from February 15 to March
13, the price failed to rise even beyond circle 9. You see that already on March 7
the price went beyond circle 8 (10100.69 � 10310.01 � 10728.65 � 11147.29 USD), and
so, we could expect the BTCUSD price to move around circle 7: 7745.84 � 7902.83 �
8269.14 � 8635.45.

Finally, it is clear from the chart above that, although a little later, the BTCUSD
ticker went down to the set range of 7745.84 � 7902.83 � 8269.14 � 8635.45 in
circle 7 on the following day. Therefore, the forecast is considered to have worked
out, although with a slight deviation.

I think the principle of the method is clear now. It doesn�t provide exact levels,
but it quite accurately indicates the price ranges, where the market can go in
certain period of time, according to a particular scenario. Using other Gann
methods and tools of technical analysis, traders can narrow the ranges for the
possible future price moves. Thus, they can take wiser trading decisions and make
up an appropriate risk management.

Another important moment, I should mention, is that in the set ranges, there cannot
be more than 5 values in each circle. It means that, with the fast planet, moving
counterclockwise clockwise, it is Mercury in our case, you must always adjust the
lower border of each circle.

To sum up this article, I�ll try to make up a forecast for the BTCUSD price in
future.

To forecast the bitcoin price moves in future, according to the Pythagorean method,
first, it would be the most correct to find out the last signal in the history,
which we will be based on.

LiteForex: William Gann�s trading methods: market geometry and orbital geometry. |
29.01.19 | Liteforex

The previous signal of the orbital geometry occurred on 16.12.2018, when Mercury
was at 60 degrees to Saturn, thus being in sextile.

LiteForex: William Gann�s trading methods: market geometry and orbital geometry. |
29.01.19 | Liteforex

On that day, the bitcoin price was closed at the border of circle 5, at a level of
3193 USD, which also proves the methodology to be efficient. It was followed by the
expected price growth, as the combinations of Mercury and Saturn are usually
suggest a coming bullish momentum.

LiteForex: William Gann�s trading methods: market geometry and orbital geometry. |
29.01.19 | Liteforex

As the last closing was inside circle 5, the future forecast is focused on the
following BTCUSD price ranges:

Circle ?3: 1518.57 � 1466.24 � 1361.58 � 1204.59 � 1047.6

Circle ?4: 2669.83 � 2565.17 � 2460.51 � 2251.19 � 2041.87

Circle ?5: 4135,07 � 4030.41 � 3873.42 � 3611.77 � 3350.12

Circle ?6: 5914.29 � 5757.3 � 5600.31 � 5286.33 � 4972.35

LiteForex: William Gann�s trading methods: market geometry and orbital geometry. |
29.01.19 | Liteforex

To show the circles clearer, I highlighted them with the corresponding boxes in the
chart above. As you see, the gray zone in the chart above, looks out of reach, and
before February 19 (it is marked with blue dots in the chart), the BTCUSD will
hardly dive so deep. However, both green and yellow zones look quite real.
Furthermore, there are quite strong zones between them and the current area of
circle 5. As you understand, it is the zone of momentum, where the BTCUSD price
will hardly stay for long.

You see that bears won�t be able to press the red zone down. In addition, there is
a support from below at level 3193 USD, where there was quite a strong buyout. So,
I don�t think that bears will manage to break through the support during the rest
of time.

Therefore, I assume that the price should enter the green zone. The more there are
bears� failed tries to break out the support zone, the more BTCUSD is likely to
enter the range of circle 6: 5914.29 � 5757.3 � 5600.31 � 5286.33 � 4972.35

Besides, we must remember that the market might not exit the red zone and continue
moving in the set range after February 19. It is possible, though not that likely.

That is all for the part, devoted to Pythagorean method, that is the combined
application of astrology laws and Square of 9. The following part will be the final
one in the series of articles devoted to Gann�s studies. I will delve into the most
mysterious topic and write about the influence of lunar and solar eclipses on
bitcoin trends.

Here, I am about to finish my another article, devoted to Delbert William Gann and
his studies, which I applied to the BTCUSD pair. I hope this information is
interesting and helpful for you.

I wish you good luck and good profits!
