---------------------------------------
Regarding the Gann hexagon which several people asked about
privately:
1. the hexagon and the other squares and circles which Gann used
are "shorthand" ways to represent angles without drawing them on
every chart. Gann used both arithmetic and geometric means to
do the same things. think about that.
2. the hexagon inner box starts with "3" on the left of the horizontal
line and "6" on the right, with "1" on the "northeast" angle, and "4"
on the "southwest" extension of that angle, etc. the hexagon runs
counter clockwise. "7" starts the next outer "ring" and is situated
between "6" and "1". And so on and so forth. 0 and 360 degrees
(and 0 Aries/ 21 March) are at the East or right of the horizontal,
with 180 degrees guess where?...;)
There is an angle every 30 degrees around the hexagon through the
prices. So the hexagon is both a price chart and a simple
horoscope/calendar.
3.specifically in this case, 1496 (3 jan high for sph0) is at the
corner of the hexagon 30 degrees east of due south and in the
22nd "ring". This would correspond to 0 degrees Aquarius or 21
January. Close enough for government work...;) and indeed a major
drop in the index followed right after 21 January. If you have a
hexagon or make one, you find that most of the turns in spoos find
resistance or support at the corners of the hexagon or at multiples
of 30 degrees angles or aspects to prior prices.
the 5 jan low at 1387 was at "east" 360 degrees. the 14 jan high at
1484.50 was exactly at "south" or 270 degrees. the 31 jan low of
1357 stopped 2 points from exact 270 degrees on the next inner
ring. the 8 feb high of 1449.80 stopped 2 points beyond 180
degrees. and the low (if it is one) of 24 february stopped just one
point from 210 degrees, or 90 degrees from the 1496 high.
4.the hexagon seems to work best (as do many techniques) in very
active markets.
5.sometimes other charts work better, and in any event they
represent different "angles". the "square of four" and the "square of
nine" are two of the best known. there is a very nice discussion of
the "square of nine" in the recent issue (no.28) of Traders World.
6.in summary, the hexagon is not astro, but has a little "touch" or
astro flavor. the best source for learning more about these
techniques is Patrick Mikula's 2 volumes entitled "Gann's Scientific
Methods Unveiled". i have no connection with Mikula or any book
seller, and they may in fact be out of print. Milkula has been known
to visit this site from time to time. i have never met the man, but i
love the books! they were published in 1995 and 1996. he had
planned to write several more but has apparently abandoned that
arduous task.
