About the author
Born in Lufkin, Texas, on June 6, 1878, William Delbert Gann became known as a stock and commodities trader, market analyst, and author. He later worked in New York and developed a public reputation for studying price movement through recurring patterns, timing, and mathematical structure.
Gann is best remembered for techniques and tools associated with his name, including Gann angles and other chart-based methods. Accounts of his work often note that his market theories drew not only on geometry and cycle analysis but also on astronomy and astrology, which helped make him both influential and controversial.
He died on June 18, 1955. Even now, his writings remain part of trading culture, especially among readers interested in technical analysis, market psychology, and the long-running debate over whether his methods were brilliant, symbolic, or somewhere in between.
