Introduction:
Over the years, many questions have been asked about W.D. Gann and his trading system. Does it work? How much time do I have to spend before I trade? Can I make money? Where do I begin? I believe the best question of all is, “Which one of Gann’s books can I read that will teach me how to trade?” The answer is, they all will. However, never has a more worthy book exploring Gann’s been written for beginners or intermediate traders as this one. To be a successful trader, you need to know the rules that have stood the test of time, a bit about the man who created them, and about the author who wrote this book.
Hima Reddy has provided us with the “missing link” to W.D. Gann’s trading methods.

Table of Contents:
Hima Reddy, CMT, was first introduced to technical analysis, and to the works of W.D. Gann, during her high school years by her father, who has had a passion for trading and the markets since the early 1980s. However, it wasn’t until after she completed an undergraduate Finance degree at Indiana University’s Kelley School of Business, and returned to her home state of New York in 2001, that she immersed herself in the markets. She simultaneously volunteered as a sponsorship coordinator for several Market Technicians Association conferences, traded equity and commodity futures under the tutelage and guidance of her father, and completed the Chartered Market Technician certification.
In 2006, she joined Informa Global Markets, an independent financial research firm providing live, 24-hour market analysis. As Senior Technical Analyst, she was responsible for producing timely and accurate short-term technical analysis and trading strategies for fixed income and FX markets. With analysis ranging through multiple timeframes, her team also prepared written updates covering longer-term trends. Hima’s “guru” has always been Gann—the first market analysis book she ever studied in-depth was How to Make Profits in Commodities—and to this day that is her go-to guide to the markets. Since 2011 she has returned to trading independently and continues to write about the financial markets. Her primary methods of technical analysis include pattern recognition and time duration relationships within markets based on Gann’s methodology, momentum assessment through the use of the Relative Strength Index (RSI), Fibonacci relationships, and moving average systems including the use of channels for trade management.
