To get the most benefit out of Gann's materials, it is suggested that you first read his books in order, and then dig into his Collected Courses, which have his deepest work. This volume includes his first book along with his third book amaking this set a perfect place to start. To understand Gann, both new and old traders alike need to study his compolete works and particularly the Private Courses after these books. W.D. Gann will present you with rules that you must still follow now to become a successful trader. Many of the "new" books on trading that are being written today say the same thing Gann wrote almost 90 years ago, except that Gann's work is better and deeper.

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.
