Perhaps I'm having a little semantics problem. Is a master swordsman a
perfect swordsman, is a master builder the best builder in the world? Does a
master glass blower ever make a mistake? Does a master chef ever spoil the
souffle?
Is a master of Gann equal to Gann? Does a master of Gann ever make a
mistake? Was Gann himself a perfect trader meaning that he never made a
mistake?
I realize that most of those though of as masters of anything consider
themselves as students or learners.
In this book I'm studding by Gann, Gann admits to making mistakes, some big
ones, and hopes to help others to avoid them, by following his rules.
A journey may or may not be enjoyable, but it is very helpful to have some
reference points along the way.
On a scale of 1 to 10 in mastering Gann I would rank myself at a 2 or 3
because I consider myself to still be a novice student of Gann. The reason I
don't consider myself to be at a 1 or 2 level is that I can apply what I
have already learned of trading and see strong correlations in Gann
methodology.
How about you Norm, care to rank yourself?
BTW you forgot "Sancho, My horse!"
