Our Story

What is the most important component of technical analysis other than price? Most traders and market participants miss the mark. Over 100 years ago WD Gann proved it was the time element. 

If you don't understand how time works in financial markets you are operating with one hand tied behind your back.

This website is called beyond the golden spiral for a reason. For traders, the golden spiral represents the world of Fibonacci numbers and the golden ratio which is tied to .618, 1.618, 2.618 and their derivatives. Most traders only know about 38%, 50%, 61% and 78% retracements. 

I was originally trained in Fibonacci, Gartley and Elliott Wave Studies. I built a successful trading strategy based mostly on Gartley and other golden spiral relationships. The first book I ever read was Trading Chaos by Bill Williams. In that book he teaches how markets are driven by Chaos Theory, Quantum Physics and non-linear math. In Elliott and Fibonacci there are certain boundaries not to be crossed such as the retracements just discussed above. 

WHAT IF I TOLD YOU ANY NUMBER CAN BE A RETRACEMENT?

That will blow a lot of minds who have only knew about standard retracements. On previous page I showed you how a Forex chart achieved a 34% retracement simply because the high was .8835. That achieves another market tendency few people even understand. Its the law of replication. On any price chart, numbers will repeat in different ways and those many times turn out to be your buy/sell signal to engage the market. On the next chart we also looked to the INVERSE of the retracement implying the relationship of bigger leg to smaller leg. On that Forex chart the bigger leg was 1.41x size of smaller leg and the lower high turned out to be 40 days. In the next sequence there was a 41% retracement. 

IF YOU ENCOUNTERED a 41% retracement with modern Fibonacci teaching, you likely would NOT know what to do with a pattern that is a 41% retracement. 

IT WOULD BE AN OPPORTUNITY WASTED, FALLING TO THE FLOOR, NEvER TO BE AVAILABLE AGAIN. 

This is  your first lesson in going beyond the golden spiral. There are many, many more examples. 

Briefly, I did well with my initial Fibonacci training. My partner and I used Bill Williams Investors Dream software, a trading software based on Chaos Theory and non-linear math. But they gave non-linear signals that were proprietary and not explained. 

Eventually I ended up writing a book called Breakthrough Strategies for Predicting Any Market in 2007 which is a beginner to intermediate level market timing study. That led to me being invited and doing an 8 hour seminar at the lifetime achevement award weekend for market legend Dick Arms who created the Arms Index. I discussed EVERYTHING GOLDEN SPIRAL AND FIBONACCI. A couple of years later I was asked by ICE (Intercontinental Exchange) to do a Fibonacci webinar similar to the one I did in Chicago with Dick Arms. But there was a catch. They wanted me to use only ICE products like US Dollar, Russell 2000 Emini and Nat Gas. Problem was I had no charts so I needed to do necessary research to create them. 

WHAT I DISCOVERED CHANGED MY LIFE FOREVER!

I found it wasn't so easy to find those Fibonacci/Golden Spiral setups. I found those relationships on roughly 30-40% of the patterns. That was shocking to me. WHAT ACCOUNTED FOR the other 60-70% of market activity?

I had no idea and it was frustrating and disappointing not to know because I was trained the market was a manifesttation of natural Golden Spiral numbers. 

ENTER GANN

i knew of Gann and the common wisdom in much of Gann communty was if we take a stock at $30, it could go to 60 in either 30 days, weeks or months. Well, this didn't sit well with me and found these types of relationships worked but not enough to make a trading strategy out of it. Up to that point all I knew was the square of 9 which is purely a price function with no time. 

I didn't think Gann was an appropriate strategy for 21st century trading. WOW WAS I WRONG!

It took another year but by 2014 I had the game-changing revelation. One of my hats is being a market historian and as such I always loved to play around with the Great Depression and 1929 craxh chart. One day I found many interesting symmetries I'd never seen before. For instance, did you know the crash leg itself dropped 49% in 49 days? Yeah, I didn't know it either. I also stumbled into the condition where the top of 1930 bear market rally after the crash terminated at the 155th trading day off the top while the rally itself was 155 calendar days up. 

That simple condition changed the way I looked at markets. It took me years to figure out that entire bear market that ended in July 1932 was 149 weeks. I talk about that in the manual called the Secret Pattern Elliott and Gartley never figured out avaliable on products page. That is a teaching where we learn how the first leg influences the whole pattern. For instance we had a 49% drop on first leg and entire pattern completed in 149 weeks. 

I needed to see if these symmetries applied to 21st century financial markets and can one develop a trading strategy from it?

THE ANSWER IS A RESOUNDING YES!

The results are everything you will see on this website in all the manuals and in our training/coaching program. It became a process of new revelations over the next decade. What I've done is create successful trading strategies based on many different tendencies and market conditions and time frames. 

Along the way I got the revelation for the Gann Calendar (Missing Link manual) which is based on the earth's orbit around the sun where each day has a different vibration that embeds itself on the daily charts. It is the most precise way to navigate a daily chart. It is the gift that keeps on giving. Beyond that we have a very unique revelations of replication of numbers which makes an excellent buy or sell signal under right conditions. Don't attempt this on your own until you understand how it works which you'll learn here. 

We combine Kairos price/time relationships with other methodologies such as volume work.

There are many good volume studies but this is only one that combines price and time. We also get into Smart Money Concepts. You can view many videos on SMC but they leave more questions than answers and this is only one that combines price and time. 

We also spend a lot of time teaching traders how to win the battle for your mind. Every person who ever attempts to trade brings their unique background to the party and one has to learn how to overcome their fear factors to get into trades in the right place. This is a key feature of our program. When we combine these tendencies of replcation, retracements and Gann calendar to name a handful what happens is we go on a journey of excellence to put ourselves in a position to win because it becomes instinctual/2nd nature. These are not just beautiful charts. We deal with fast markets and you need to recognize and act quickly. Its a process that takes time. 

Finally, I recently decoded certain cycles that have been puzzling me for years. I recently figured out how to crack the hourly/60 min cycle for 1 and 4 minute charts. This revelation alone gives you a good edge. Our manuals are the equivalent of an NFL sized playbook and are available to work at your own pace or with my guidance in training program.
