HOW TO MEASURE A CYCLE
Distance between two nodal points = 1 diameter of circle or 4 wave (casy to measure nodal points)
Nodal points
el 0-1 Diameter of cire
1-2 Diameter of circle
1 0-2 2 Diameters, Interval
Information required to find waves:
Need as much data as possible to pive high confidence level
30-40 yeurs-on a monthly basis
10-20 years on a weekly basis
+ Ne
to know which wave you're in
Need to know low and high (monad) for initial interval squaring price and squaring time

The relation of side adjacent and hypotenuse a
sine = opposite side / hypotenuse
Gann: “angles are moving averages that move along at a regular rate over time” = slope
Points are part ofa line as long as within one standard deviation from line. a
Tangent (to the circle) = sin (opposite side) / sin (adjacent side}
Tangential veetors, pitch, rate of change, slope
Objective of Squaring the Circle:
area of square

The "O-G Momentum Method" talks about 1/4 cycles (he was the only one)
The Crest of the Cycle is at the 1/4 point of the wave.
The Trough is at the 3/4 point and the Nodal point is at 1/2 of the wave.
When wave is 1/4 off, it needs to be followed by a 1/2 eyele, then another 1/4 cycle
to get back in syne.
“Double Hump" = getting Alternating Beat,
fcycles (waves) are not in Phase, you can't add them, [1/4 + 1/3 + W2= 1)
+All Nodal Points Must hit for All Waves (daily, weekly and monthly)

Gann was a Kabalist. He shifted numbers around (changing positions of numbers in space)

Harmonic Composition and Decomposition -

Types of Angles ~
Gann said there were 3 types: Vertical, Horizontal and Diagonal
A circle divided in 24 parts of 15 degrees each
(24 hours per day)
15 degrees days = 15 cents
Planetary Hours - each hour ruled by a different planet

‘The Plane of Symmetry, the Angle of Cleavage, doesn't always have to be 45 degrees.

Must find Dominant Cycle, the 4,3,2,1 or some combination
Get Nodal Points (the position of rest, where price gets consolidated there) correctly
and Interval Lengths correctly, then the 1/4 point in length is the high and the 3/4 length is the low point
Nodal Points must be EXACTLY | diameter (whether there is Tran;
fion or not of the high and low)

{use Wednesday for weekly charts, there are very few holidays on Wednesdays]
The Longer the Time, the Stronger the «Angle
Purpose: to get Amplitude equal to Interval
to match amplitude with interval, you must square them
therefore Angular Momentum (velocity) is not important
(exeept in parabolic situation)
* With, more compression, a chart creates more distortion, Once a chart is squared correetly, the Nadal points
jump out on you, On a compressed chart, they get buried,
* The whole purpose is to find the Monad — Interval, then find amplitude, then the Z axis and then you have
all 3 planes
