Johannes Sundberg Forecasts & Trading Results 2022

Sundberg's shares his profound insights into Gann's trading secrets

This section contains a collection of real-time trades and forecasts by Johannes Sundberg provided throughout the last year as they came up. We asked him to keep a time-stamped record of forecasts and trades that he took so that we could provide these setups and results to clients as proof of his skill and to give examples of the efficacy of his trading tools and techniques.

These records compile trades from the start of 2022 through the end of October 2022 with the most recent up top so that we can add to it as he gives us more, and have the new stuff up top. Some were documented on Sundberg’s Twitter account, for verification and historical record, others are documented by email dates when they were written. These trades demonstrate the application of his tools in real-time, so you can see what you would actually be able to do with these astro-geometric tools.

Note the number of trades he has generated across multiple markets with very little effort. He trades a half dozen markets below having generated a clean trade setup which produces an immediate response and excellent intermediate-term trade. ALL of thee trades below were profitable!

Here is another one: The Hang Seng Index of Hong Kong fell by 7% today as a panic reaction to the outcome of the congress of the Chinese communist party. Xi Xin Ping got re-elected as expected but also made some appointments that will secure his power for a long time. I’ve been playing with two projections on this one, the first from the 2017 top and the second one from the 2021 top. The latter hit 0 today and that was the next lowest line on the first scale. It will be exciting to see if it stops the hard decline.

 

OLA 11/7: Hang Seng has also had a flying start, up 14% from the low. There was some overshoot of the first projection at the low. Gann wrote that when two different resistance levels are close to each other the price will often stop at the midpoint between them and it seems to be true in this case too. Here is how the trade continued to play out.  The Hang-Seng index rose more than 50% from the projected low:

Performance Evaluation: Straker, Sundberg & Selene’s Chariot

Let’s review the results of Johannes Sundberg’s new course during this year’s S&P Bear market. Sundberg provided me with a longer explanation of this move and a more charts, so we have a nice, detailed presentation to share, which includes some lovely, simple Gann techniques that anybody can use themselves. Here is Sundberg’s analysis:

Background: In The Secret Science of Squaring, Johannes Sundberg reveals the real secret behind many of W.D. Gann’s famous concepts like Square the High, Low and Range and Geometrical Angels. The concept is not very complicated, but the Gann community has been misled and on the wrong track for a long time. Once you know how to identify the true driving forces behind the market and learn how to apply them you will never look back and old half-baked Gann tools again.

Trading bear markets can be very profitable due to the high speed of the movements, but it is also very difficult and can be dangerous for the novice. The counter moves in the form of bear market rallies can be very intense, and if you do not know what you are doing you could easily end up with a loss even if you are right about the general direction of the market. Luckily, we can let Gann’s time cycles and trendlines guide us to keep us safe.

1: The high and the low of Feb-March 2020 created a lot of time cycles by “square outs”. They also created a set of astro-geometrical trendlines which define the movement of the market from that point forward. (Note: these are not standard “Gann angles”, they are proprietary planetary-geometry angles that almost no on understands how to use). In January 2022, we got a “square the range set up” which accurately nailed the top (cross of green vertical line and blue diagonal lines). From this point forward it has been all down.

The author had been giving public warnings since the summer of 2021 that a major top was approaching due to inflation and the energy crisis. His basis for this warning was the activation of the “45-year cycle” which recreated the drama of the 1970’s.

 

 

Once the market started to turn down from the upper blue trendline, an excellent opportunity to go short was created. The stop-loss would be placed just above the high and the first price target was the following blue trendline below. The market broke straight through that trendline at the “X” which showed that this price wanted to go lower to the following blue trendline.

 

 

 

The red trendline did however create temporary support. The trader could have taken profit of a -10% move when the price reversed from the red trendline (red flag). The second option was to keep the position and stop out when the blue trendline was broken from below (white arrow circled in red).

On February 11, 2022, the price once again broke the blue trend line and a new shorting opportunity emerged (second red arrow). The tactic was to place the stop just above the blue line and set the price target at the following blue trendline below. The target was reached on February 2024, after a -7.75% decline, and profit should be taken since we hit our next down blue line (green check).

After that the price continued to bounce between the trendlines and the brave swing-trader could have participated in the move back to the previous blue trendline.

On March 29, the 2020, our Gann range squaring projection produced another square out and a change of trend was expected. When the blue trendline was broken another short was entered. The trader could put a profit from a decline of -7.95% on April 25 (green marker). The market then hesitated until May 5^th.

 

 

 

The trendline was broken a couple of times before that and the trader should probably have stopped out at a small loss. The benefit of this technique is that we can keep our stops extremely tight and take only tiny losses compared to our profit objectives.

On May 5^th, the trader should be short again. On May 20^th, the profit target at the next blue trendline was reached and the trader could take the profit of a -9.4% decline.

All in all, we were able to catch moves of -10%, -7.75%, -7.95% and -9.4%. An unlevered short portfolio would have increased close to 40% in only 6 months. The total downward move as of today (June 21, 2022) is -24%. By active trading based on sound principles you are able to squeeze out almost twice as much as the actual move, even without leverage.

The strategy above is the true teaching found in W.D. Gann’s famous course, The Basis of My Forecasting Method. Gann was not so open about what he was really doing, but as you can see, it has stood the test of time for 100 years. Apart from that, the author has also applied a really simple technique found in the introductory chapter of the book.

The chart below shows a basic cycle that is currently working beautifully in the S&P500. It will not last forever but enjoy it while it does. This is a simple 30-day cycle, that is mostly producing tops over the last 9 months with an occasional bottom if the market is moving down at that time. Just look at how it nailed the last 6 tops in the market! Prior to that it was reversing top/bottom/top.

 

 

 

This is not an “after-the-fact” analysis, as can be proven by the monthly charts that were posted on my Twitter account, documenting the projections as they happened. Do not underestimate the simple stuff, it can be very profitable!

Once that new major top was made in January 2022, a new set of planetary-geometrical trendlines can be projected. Again, these are NOT your normal Gann fan angles. They are specially calculated planetary-angles based upon the values determined at the top.

Once that top is made, we begin projecting new square-outs for the ensuing trend which are marked below. Each of those sequential tops both fell on the planetary geometry as they simultaneously reached the specialized square-out points defined in the book. When these two occurrences come together at the same time we have over an 80% chance of a significant move from that point, as can be seen below.

When we combine the time cycle with our planetary-geometrical trendlines, and the planetary square-outs, we get some very powerful trading set ups shown below:

 

 

As Erikson said above, Sell, Sell, Sell…

Sundberg was correct, that was the bottom for the T-Note Yield and here is what has happened since then, a fantastic trade!
