My Gann based trading is turning out to be more simple than I ever imagined.
When you know that you are in harmony with the market it is quite
aesthetically pleasing. Like a master craftsman there is satisfaction when
you are doing a fine and careful job (of floating a boat or what ever).

How many lines are enough. Why not just be a tape reader and forget charts,
or trade fundamentally with the news. Likewise, you should only use the
important part of your mathematical formula, just leave out the rest.

It's kind of like saying that you've never eaten chocolate, you prefer sugar
candy anyway, so you aren't going to taste any chocolate. I'm just delighted
that very few want to learn about these things.
