Introduction
While Dr. Baumring’s course series represents the primary pathway into the complete science behind Gann’s Law of Vibration, there are numerous other excellent interpretations and valuable applied techniques available based upon various partial elements of Gann Theory. Most traders and researchers are not concerned with understanding every inch and detail of Gann’s system. Rather, most are seeking practical techniques and tools that they can use for forecasting and trading the markets that will not require many years to understand and apply.
This Study Guide presents our selection of the very best works leading to a deeper understanding and successful application of Gann Theory. Gann’s works themselves represent a key segment of this category, but as many will attest, they can be quite challenging to interpret on their own. For this reason, there are a number of skilled analysts and traders that have distilled elements of Gann Theory down to practical techniques and methodologies that we strongly recommend for an accelerated entry into the complex world of Gann Analysis.
Each of these works provides a different angle, tool, perspective, focus, framework or skill taught by Gann. Each author has explored and developed their work over considerable time, and has distilled the essence down into these important interpretive works which will save the uninitiated seeker many years on his path to becoming a competent Gann analyst or trader. Each book listed here represents the compilation of 1000’s of hours if not many years of dedicated research, trial, and error by these individuals. Thus, we consider this the best place to start as a first introduction to Gann studies, and for an accelerated application of some of Gann’s most powerful techniques.

Daniel T. Ferrera’s Master’s Series on Gann Analysis
Ferrera’s courses are our most popular Gann courses, and we strongly suggest them as the first and best place to begin. He takes Gann’s most difficult ideas and boils them down into clear and practical tools that can be applied by any trader, once Ferrera has explained them. His series of books and courses work through all of Gann’s most important ideas, step by step, presenting lucid explanations and demonstrating how to use these tools for practical forecasting and trading. Ferrera’s work alone is like a Master’s Degree in Gann Theory & Analysis.

Johannes Sundberg's Secret Science of Squaring
Sundberg's Gann astro-trading course, The Secret Sciene of Squaring: W. D. Gann's Lost System of Market Forecasting is one of our 3 TOP trading courses that is absolutely loved by everyone. It reveals some of Gann’s best hidden secrets, in particular, how to Square Price and Time in the proper way! It strives to build a solid base for interpreting Gann by showing step by step how the cosmological forces are translated into market prices every day.
Since the paths of the astronomical forces are known and can be calculated ages in advance, so can we forecast the future just like the astronomer does. This course presents a unique methodology showing how to puzzle together the different pieces that Gann left behind into to a workable trading methodology. Through this rethinking of the use of astro-geometry, we can generate superb trade set-ups with low risk and extremely attractive returns. This course presents one of the most important breakthroughs in understanding Gann's TRUE astro-applications!
Eric Penicka’s Gann Science
Eric Penicka’s work, Gann Science: The Periodic Table & The Law of Vibration takes its lead from Gann’s first public interview in The Ticker and Investment Digest in 1909. In this interview, Gann lays out the clearest description of his system of the Law of Vibration that he was using to trade and forecast the markets at the start of his career.
It presents the science from Gann’s day relating to the Periodic Table of Elements and the chemical theory of the market. Penicka presents the clearest thesis as to how Gann’s spectacular trading shown in the Ticker Interview was accomplished, giving the scientific foundations behind this side of Gann’s work while developing the theory into a powerful arsenal of trading tools and practical applications based upon this insight.
Daniele Prandelli’s Gann Systems
Prandelli is a very practical analyst and swing trader and his course are popular with traders looking for clear methodologies and a working swing trading system using some of Gann’s best tools. This work is extremely practical and is used by many working traders to generate consistent returns.
Robert Rundle’s Magic Words Tunnel Decoder
Robert Rundle’s 3-Volume Series, Magic Words Thru The Zodiac, is one of our most unusual works which seeks to decode Gann’s most mysterious book, The Tunnel thru the Air. This romance novel written by Gann in 1927 is a front for a complex astro/cyclical code that Gann used to embed many of his deepest secrets. Rundle discovered a Masonic cypher that he uses to decode cycle lengths and starting points to reveal important cycles in varied markets. This study presents a completely different side of Gann’s work and opens up a doorway into a vast study of the most complex side of Gann.
Applied Gann Based Trading Systems
Each of the following works are excellent and provide essential foundations for Gann style trading! Walker provides a the most thorough analysis ever conducted of Gann’s Swing Trading system or Mechanical Method developed by Gann over 40 years of trading and required to be studied FIRST before going into market forecasting. Robert’s work gives the best presentation of Gann’s Position Trading theory which generates large returns from small capital. It is based on Gann's Profits in Commodities, and presents an options trading strategy like Gann himself used to produce his spectacular returns.
For our most advanced Gann studies see the Baumring and Bennett courses which are detailed under the Cracking Gann Study Guide:

ICE Gann Theory Specialists
Most people who have attempted to understand Gann Theory on their own using only Gann's original works have discoverd this to be an extremely challenging if not impossible task. Gann's writing style is extraordinarily difficult to understand due to a handful of reasons ranging from his vague and complicated writing style, to the intentional veiling of his deeper teachings through confusing wording, missing explanations, intentional errors and even Masonic ciphers, which make it practically impossible to apply his techniques without the help of an interpretive scholar who has spent years, if not decades, decoding and mastering his true ideas.
In recent decades, a secondary market of books and courses has emerged which explain and expand upon the field of Gann Theory. As such, all students of Gann quicly find themselves turning to these interpretive scholars and experts to gain a real understanding of what Gann was actually doing. At ICE, we have spent 35 years developing the best collection of interpretive and applied works on Gann Analysis, such that our catalog is unmatched by any other source.
