Pattern- Price & Time. Using Gann Theory in Trading Systems by James Hyerczyk Free Download – Includes Verified Content:
From the Inside Flap
Though W.D. Gann remains one of the most debated figures in technical analysis, his work has stood the test of time — with numerous traders adapting his principles across generations.
In this thoroughly updated Second Edition of Pattern, Price & Time, seasoned market technician James Hyerczyk delivers a clear and practical introduction to Gann Theory — its foundational concepts and how to apply them in today’s markets. While Gann’s ideas are central to the book, Hyerczyk also contributes his own original perspectives and demonstrates how technical analysis can be used effectively in Forex, futures, and equities trading.
Crafted for both seasoned traders and beginners, this comprehensive resource breaks down the core components of technical analysis — pattern, price, and time — by drawing on Gann’s methods and illustrating how these elements can work together to better predict market behavior and guide decision-making. Unlike many other techniques, Gann analysis integrates well with widely used tools like candlestick charts and pivot points. In fact, this book is designed to show how Gann’s strategies can enhance virtually any existing trading system by incorporating the right balance of its three core elements.
The book begins with an overview of Gann’s background and philosophy, as well as the critical importance of accurate data and charting. From there, Hyerczyk walks readers through practical applications, including:
-
Constructing swing charts using minor, intermediate, and major trends
-
Applying horizontal support and resistance to identify market balance points
-
Computing Gann angles tailored to different instruments
-
Exploring multiple methods of timing — from complex natural cycles to the widely-used “squaring of time”
-
Integrating pattern, price, and time into a unified trading and analysis system
-
… and much more
Following the publication of the first edition, some critics argued Hyerczyk withheld key Gann insights. He addresses these concerns directly by guiding readers toward the deeper, metaphysical aspects of Gann analysis — and even reveals what he believes to be the inspiration behind Gann’s Law of Vibration. To support traders further, he includes a link to a TradeStation code for his trend indicator, allowing users to replicate Gann-style swing charts with ease.
If you want to succeed in modern markets, relying on pattern, price, or time alone isn’t enough. This updated edition shows you how to synthesize all three for better trading precision and consistency — making it a valuable companion for any serious market technician.
