DislikedI am glad you thought that translation was crap... I always suspected it was but never had a good alternative. Your take fits much more naturally into what I understand of Gann's nature and mannerisms... Using the kabala cipher in "The Science of Numerology" on the title "The Tunnel Thru The Air or Looking Back from 1940" got me "35 + 73 + 56 + 35 + 31 + 36 + 82 + 25 + 66 and 1940" Which when you exclude 1940, reduces to 16 which is Mars... However, I dont quite get how the 1940 enters in and what "cycle" of Mars you are alluding to... In...Ignored
Bobbie is the "chosen" one, with him ends a cycle and starts a new one.
Ask yourself why Gann picked 1940? Why not 1945 or 1950?
Gann tells you upfront what you need to do to understand the book. Probably the first 3-4 pages are the most important ones.
The key is in his recommended reading list. There is no shortcut, you need to read it all. I am still not done yet as it is very extensive.
But as you go you will see that he didn't think of it all by himself.
Most people make the mistake in that they think it is a book about trading. So, they look for trading clues and are colored in their interpretations. It is much more a book about his beliefs than it is about trading.
They key to his market analysis is on the very first page. What do you think it means when he says that you need it 3 times? You think anything special is going to happen after the 3rd time? Of course not. It is a clue in itself.
