Gordon Roberts

Simple & Strategic Gann Technologies for Maximum Profits


Author Introduction

Over the years, we at ICE have been fortunate to know many successful traders with different talents, strategies and game plans, and we often try to convince them to create educational material to help struggling traders find similar success or to advance the field of research to new levels.

Some refuse, other’s tools just don’t apply to smaller traders, but some generously agree, and over time, it’s those, like Gann, Bayer, Baumring, or Ferrera who decided to give something back that has left us the trail of quality educational material that we all study in the hope of developing similar skills.

Gordon Roberts is another such example. Gordon was already a longtime client of Sacred Science Institute when, through some emails concerning research interests, we began a deeper discussion of trading strategies and methodologies. In so doing, it was discovered that Gordon was using a similar trading strategy to that taught by Dr. Jerome Baumring back in the 1980’s.

Gordon developed his trading methodology and strategy after 20 years of deep research into Gann analysis, a study taken up as a “hobby” suggested to him by his wife, accompanied by many years of trading experience. Gordon’s many years of research and distillation of the complex work of Gann combined with his long study of strategic approaches that would fit a trader with limited time and capital, led to this book.  

The intention was to write a comprehensive course that would provide the clearest Gann-based principles to identify intermediate to major term trade setups which could be traded using leveraged options strategies which provide low risk, high reward returns, with a minimum of analysis and trade maintenance. We feel that Gordon’s course has met these expectations.

 

The Origins and Development of “Market Vibrations”

The following is an extract about the origins of Gordon Robert’s first ICE publication – Market Vibrations:

How This Book Was Born

I've purchased books published from the Sacred Science Institute in the past and they have made positive contributions to my knowledge and total experience. If you are like me, you get occasional emails about new courses and special offers.

I was curious about the offerings in one of those emails. I replied with a question about the complexity and time involved with mastering the newer esoteric and mathematical offerings. Don't get me wrong, I love wonderful esoteric and mathematical studies. I just don't always have the time or mental horsepower.

In my email to Mr. Stewart, I sent charts to show how I preferred simple stuff that often worked. I didn't want to get a 'PhD' in some new topic of study. I wanted to keep things simple so my little brain might hope to grasp them. I joked with Mr. Stewart that I was showing him the easy stuff that few people seem to see the value in doing for themselves.

Mr. Stewart then commented that the charts brought back memories of his studies with Dr. Jerome Baumring way back in the 1980s. He then suggested that these things would be a wonderful little course for someone that liked to keep it pretty simple and trade medium to long-term. That was especially true once we discussed my trading approach. In short, these are things he already wanted to see in a book.

I thought the man was nuttier than a squirrel turd... I didn't know 'Jerome Baumring' and I didn't think anyone would want to buy a book about simple things that they could do for themselves. Then, I remembered my own years of largely ignoring Mr. Gann's words and how many years it took me to begin to 'understand' his many teachings.

Let's see if you like these simple concepts as much as I do. Beginner or seasoned trader, I hope there is something in my work for you. We'll keep it simple and show you the how and why. Remember that Mr. Gann didn't have computers and charting software and all the fancy technical indicator witchcraft of today. He just needed his work ethic and some elegant charts and tools. I hope some of the tools I have developed under Mr. Gann’s tutelage are useful for others too.

 

Publications

Articles

In the fall of 2017 Gordon published an article outlining practical trading applications of W.D. Gann’s 90-Year Cycle Theory.

Here's an excerpt:

If the 90-year cycle is important, divisions of the cycle should also be interesting to see if they have been chiming in the past. That might provide more confidence in these long-term thoughts. Further, Mr. Gann’s words quoted above pretty well instruct us to do this. If I look back from 2019, 45 years (half of 90), I see a multi-year bean high in October of 1974. That’s lovely.

If I look back 30 years (1/3 of 90) to 1989 we see a smaller but still tradable low made in October. Going back 15 years finds a multi-year high and crash from April 2004. Toward the end of 2004 beans had crashed from over $10 to $5 where a multi-year low was made late in the year. Overall, I remain very intrigued with Mr. Gann’s thoughts about this 90-year cycle. Everything is still looking pretty good.

Here and now it is August of 2017 and we are around the anniversary of that 2016 Bean low. From a “Form Reading” perspective, we could be in a third segment down in a big bear market. I show that “read” as swings that exceeded 25% on the way down.

Conversely, I can also count the “waves” as if the “the bottom” came in 2016. In that scenario, we had four “segments” down from the big high and could be in the “first segment” up or maybe even about to start the "second segment" up of a three or four segment bull market. I show that on the next chart with swings of greater than 15%.

Either case argues that a bull market could be approaching relatively soon on the monthly chart scale.

Trading Results

The following is an excerpt fromhis complete and ongoing list of sample trades:

The following brief examples give you a feeling for the kinds of opportunities we end up hunting when we start doing some of the things Mr. Gann told us to do. The following trades are either setups that were watched and analyzed in real time and then either paper traded in the case of some of the older examples, or actually traded as is the case with most of these. They provide examples of the kinds of trades my course will teach you to find and trade. This is just a small collection of samples from the last few years. Mr. Stewart from the Institute watched me trade many of these positions and can verify these trades.

Continuing Research

Gordon is continuing to develop a number of research projects and has a couple more works on the back burner, one on ellipses and another study on Corn. He is also working with his son who has a degree in programming to develop some proprietary trading tools based upon his research. We will make these further books and software available as they are complete.
