Johannes Sundberg - Trading Records for 2021
Sundberg's shares his profound insights into Gann's trading secrets
Johannes Sundberg - Trading Records
This section contains a variety of real-time trades and forecasts by Johannes Sundberg done during the time he was writing this book. We asked him to keep a time-stamped record of forecasts and trading positions that he took so that we could provide that to clients as evidence and examples of his trading prowess.
These records compile trades from August 2019 through the end of February 2022. They were all documented on Twitter, for verification and historical record. These trades demonstrate Sundberg’s skill and the application of his tools in action, so you can see what you would actually be able to do with these astro-geometric tools. The most recent trades are posted up top and will continue to be updated and added to as time progresses. See the bottom for the oldest posts.February 28 2022:
Johannes set up a specific trading account in December 2021 in order to create a track record for his market theories. The account statements have been sent to Cosmoeconomics who can verify Mr Sundberg's results.
(Indexes of Gann portfolio and S&P 500, December 15, 2021, = 100)
Since December 15th, 2021, this account has grown 97.8%! During the same time the S&P500 has lost -8.2%. The “outperformance” or “alpha” is 103.4%. Since the start of the New Year, the Gann trading account has grown by 76.5% while the S&P500 is down -8.2%.
Someone may think this staggering return is a result of taking huge risks.
Johannes explains:
“Quite the opposite, I have been disciplined to never risk more than 1% of my capital on a single trade. I only enter a trade when I see an upside that is at least 3x the potential risk. Handling the trades actively and moving the stops to break even as soon as the trade goes into profit has also contributed. The key is to compound the winners as fast as possible and get rid of the losers quick enough.
“As the graph shows, I had a little setback in the first part of February. There was nothing wrong with the system, it was me being a little careless and lacking discipline. After all, I have a life outside trading and cannot devote 100% of my time 24/7. Nonetheless, I think this is a great example of what is possible when you follow a plan based on scientific principles and natural law as taught by Gann.
“The real edge is having the possibility to work with really tight stop losses and very precise profit targets, I know of no other “trading system” that is even close to Gann in that regard. I really look forward to meeting people in the Online Forum and to discussing these things and helping them out to the best of my ability.”
February 10 2022:
Johannes issues a call that a time cycle is about to hit in the OMX.
This is what happened:
The OMX failed to go all the way to the price target, but it certainly flipped down. The decline is -9.2% in a week.
January 27, 2022:
Someone tweets: “Long time since someone showed an all-time high P&L on Twitter. Johannes shows his P&L curve that is up +20.9% year to date. S&P500 is down -8.8% in the same period. Outperformance: 29.7% in less than a month.
January 26, 2022:
Johannes is short the market but decides to cover as he sees a big chance that his higher bear market rally targets will be reached.
This is what happened. The market turned up and reached “Bear market bounce target #2, ‘Normal target’ and stalled between #2 and #3. That #2 is a true vibrational point is proven by the fact that it creates resistance for the price at several times.
January 25, 2022:
Long positions are closed with an 8.5% increase in equity, never risking more than 1% of equity per trade.
January 24, 2022:
Johannes tweets that he has added to his position taken on the spike low at 4262 in the SPX. He sets a first price target at 4444 but probably higher. The excitement causes the second spelling error this day.
This is what happened. The market reached 4444 and then had to consolidate before going higher.
January 24, 2022:
Johannes shows that he has bought the low when the market spiked up through 4262. Apparently, the excitement caused a spelling error.
January 24, 2022:
Johannes sets a price target for the decline of the S&P500 at 4262 and says it is time to cover shorts when the target is reached.
This is what happened:
The market overreacted a bit but soon turned up and went through 4262 and continued up with 328-points or 7.5% in a bear market rally.
January 9, 2022:
Johannes issues a call that the 10-year government yields are ready to take off and that they will have a negative impact on the stock market.
This is what happened. The red arrow shows the time of the call, January 9th. The blue line shows the S&P500.
December 16, 2021:
Johannes warned that Apple had reached a top around $180.
This is what happened: Apple made a false break out but immediately turned down again and decline more than 15% in the first swing down.
The Apple call was a follow up on an earlier call from September where Johannes told people to pay attention to stocks that turned down from prices like 45 or its multiples, as they were negatively influenced by the 45-year cycle.
October 4, 2021:
Johannes declares that the S&P500 had reached a strong vibrational point around 4280. He joked that this was the optimal point for the “plunge protection team” to step in and save the market. It turned at 4279 that day and rallied 540 points (+12.7%) after the low.
This is what happened:
October 1, 2021:
Johannes tweets that the S&P500 will go to the vibration point 4370 and then have a fast decline.
September 27, 2021:
Johannes issues his first warning of rising yields and a bear market in bonds.
September 20, 2021:
Johannes declared that it was time for the “buy the dippers” to reap before they had to give it all back again. That is exactly what happened.
September 17, 2021:
Johannes gives more public praise for the Gann’s Law of Vibration. The arrows in the chart showing exact entry points for intraday trades in the E-mini.
September 15 2021 01.30 PM (GMT+2):
Johannes Tweeted that the ES future should have a break right at that moment. It did.
September 10, 2021:
Johannes gave public praise to Gann’s “Law of Vibration” on Twitter after having shorted the S&P500 extremely close to the intraday high.
September 10, 2021:
Johannes repeated his warning from July that inflation would be the big challenge for the markets due to the 45-year cycle. He also mentioned that the S&P500 has reached its top around 4537.
September 8, 2021:
September 8, 2021: Johannes repeated his warning of a top in the OMX from August 16th and added a price target of 2200. The OMX index fell to 2203.58. Note that this call was based exactly on the principles taught in The Secret Science of Squaring.
August 26 - September 3, 2021:
Johannes calculated a top around 4537 in the S&P500. The market overreacted a little and reached 4545 before turning down but still within a reasonable margin of error (0.18%).
This is what happened:
August 16, 2021:
Johannes declared that any attempt of the S&P500 to reach 4500 would be a selling opportunity. The market topped out at 4545 and then corrected with 264-points or -5.8%. He also showed a perfect example of Gann trading, putting on a short just three points from the top.
August 16, 2021:
Johannes tweeted that the OMX-index had gone through several square-outs and that a high that would stand for a while was reached. The market fell with 8.7%.
July 29-August 4, 2021:
In the end of July 2021, Johannes gave a warning on Twitter that the 45-year cycle had been activated. Both the S&P500 and OMX had a poor performance during the coming two months. He also warned that inflation might run out of control just as it did the last time the 45-year cycle was around in the 70´s.
December 14, 2020:
Johannes tweeted that the OMX had to have “a good break” before it could pass 1908-1910. It did.
October 16, 2020:
Johannes gave a public warning in a private stock market group that Gann’s 20-year cycle would cause a dangerous break in the market.
January 5, 2019:
Johannes made a public call in a private stock market group calling out 8 different days in the coming year where the S&P500 was supposed to produce tradable turning points. A few were minor, but all worked and he caught the most important swings. He has since then refined his techniques to better sort out the good trades.
WHAT OUR TRADERS SAY…
When I was able to get an early copy of Alex’s 3rd book ‘Music of the Spheres’ I was stunned by the amount and quality of the information he provides. Alex ties together astronomy, music, and correct scaling to provide a glimpse inside the market’s true structure. He clarifies the work W D Gann did a hundred years ago and then brings that work into the modern world where we can adjust scales and track planets with a click of a mouse button.
Mr. Straker is also a gifted and willing mentor if someone wishes to accelerate their learning curve with some one to one work with him.
I have read many books in 30 years of market study and was fortunate to be able to spend hours looking over the W. D. Gann archives in Nikki Jones' possession. I believe Alexander Straker has written material that will go down in history as the truly definitive work on understanding W D Gann. He also has shown how the original Gann methods can be expressed in greater detail with the use of computer chart programs.
Lorrie has a profound gift of seeing patterns and of perceiving the underlying order within whatever subject she directs her attention towards. Additionally, she has the gift of perceiving not only what is truly being said, but more importantly, what is not. She has taken on the works of W. D. Gann and Dr. Jerome Baumring in a total immersion. Her tenacity, will, and energy have been the sails, the current, and the wind of her voyage through the illusory and sometimes rocky waters of W. D. Gann.
Alex has shared a tremendous amount of knowledge invaluable to Gann students and traders. It is apparent that Alex has studied market behaviour with a great deal of enthusiasm for many years, and given considerable thought to distilling the essence of past and current masters to come up with his own unique theory about how it all fits together around the golden mean. His generosity in sharing his insights is only matched by the number of pages in this insightful volume!
I've covered a lot of material in many years of research, but never have I come across insights which more clearly point to an underlying mathematical structure to price markets which become discernible through proper scaling. Alex's scaling methods and insights are the best I've come across, particularly his angle-based approach. I'm sure that any serious student of Gann would be impressed with the unique insights generously shared by Alex and would find return for their investment in the scaling methodology alone.
