Some like Mozart and some don't.  There isroom 
for all approaches in the trading world, and certainly no right or wrong 
way.  Successful traders will find the approach that works for them; 
one that dovetails with their knowledge, experience, and psychological 
makeup.  There is no know cause and effect in this business, just 
correlations that work or do not work within the individual trader's 
environment, reflecting the subjective interaction between the trader and 
the trading world.

All,
 
Bill (wave mechanic) and I had a long discussion 
previously about Gann and Fibbonacci.  What you are seeing here IMNSHO is 
one of the problems with these techniques.  There are always lots ofnice 
squiggles on a price curve to hit a line.  And then you attach 
significance to it.  I've been in newsgroups where entries have beendone 
to death.  Text books on trading also conclude the same.  Frm the 
newsgroup  and text books entries represent probably 20% of the issue, 
some would say you can (and some have demonstarted it) make profits from 
random coin tossing entries.  its the other two factors -money management 
and market psychology- that make the money.
 
Why do I use AB then?  Because I follow mass 
pshology indicators, trends in the simplest or trade carefully in congestion 
(futures not stocks).  AB is convemnient to be able to do this. I suspect 
Bill is very good with his position sizing and money management and has 
therefore enjoyed his success.  Excuse ny presumtion here Bill.  But 
the discussion on this issue is revealling of the difficulty of application of 
Fib and Gann.

Bill,
 
You have given the following citation from Windows on 
Wallstreet manual:
"A common technique is to display both Fibonacci Arcs and 
Fibonacci Fan Lines and to anticipate support/resistance at the points where 
the Fibonacci studies cross. Note that the points where the Arcs 
cross the price data will vary depending on the scaling of the 
chart, because the Arcs are drawn so they are circular relative to 
the chart paper or computer screen." 
I would like to ask you what is the value of of price/date targets that 
MOVE depending on the window size, scaling, zoom factor and so on. How can 
you trade on these signals, when once you get the signal on Monday, then you 
resized the window a little and get the signal on Friday ???? What is then 
"trading-certified" window size and zoom factor? How one can be sure that 
the resolution he uses is a correct one?
I know that this arcs are looking nice but Iam 
curious how one could base actual trades them<FONT 
face="Arial CE">?
Do you trade on them?
Best
