Empire is only available to those with “accredited investor” status or those who have taken our “W. D. Gann: Magic In The Markets” course. 2017 and 2018 samplers of Empire contain reviews of those years, and give a snapshot of what the 2019 edition forecasts. The full 2019 edition also provides ongoing monthly and real-time updates on the US Equity Indexes. For analysis purposes, we use the SP 500 only because it is the strongest cycle in the world markets and represents the most popular equity investing in the US.
The W. D. Gann forecast runs from March 21st, 2019 through March 21st, 2020. The free samplers (verification of Accredited status required) of past years review past forecasts, Arcana trend predictions, turn times, and polarity line trades for those years. Empire also includes our unique slice of economic data that ranks the confidence of each forecast.
Real time updates are provided prior to each month for polarity breakout levels and turn time in the full edition. Money management alerts will be issued to follow polarity line entries, trades based on other unique events, and Gann analysis around these unique occurrences in the market like the ones we have just seen in 2018.
Subscriptions to Empire are best purchased between February & March of each year, to take advantage of the polarity line signal and prepare for the March 21st beginning. Pricing and all info is included on the sampler.
2019 W.D. GANN ANNUAL FORECAST UPDATE
7 Months have passed since the 2019 edition of our Empire newsletter has been published back in February 2019. So we can now give a mid-year update of our annual W. D. Gann forecast for the US Indices for March 21st, 2019 through March 21st, 2020. We did have to black out the future, but as you can see the forecast below was dead-on so far for 2019.
In the picture above, the 2019 W. D. Gann Annual Forecast is top, and actual SP500 data on bottom. Smack dab on. The future? Since this newsletter is a subscription service we can't show you. But we can say that there are similarities to the unique nature of the forecast in 2016, where human choice will make the market follow one of two paths.
Early on around May 2nd both the forecast line and Arcana turned down. Though not shown, a Minor Arcana entry was signaled soon after. The short went against the secular uptrend though, and we near hit the bottom of that move to the day. Then a big bounce up against the down-energy of the Arcana. Followed by a brief Arcana trend down, also fighting the secular uptrend. The market poked higher than our projected double-top at this second shallow downturn, but the forecast got the pattern right.
2018 EMPIRE EDITION & EXPLANATION
Our 2018 Empire forecast is featured in the first chart below via the forecast line. Keep in mind that this letter is issued in January, so we have to assume a start-price for the March 21st. forecast start at that time. The second chart below lacks the forecast line, but adds the specific entry points against the trend, polarity line entries on moves against the trend, Law of Vibration extreme price projection entries, and money management on entries.
The above chart forecasts the general curve of the market with the forecast line. This line was forecast and published before March 21st of 2018. Once the forecast is made, it doesn’t change. The green and red arrows show when the Arcana trend forecast turns up or down. These points can be forecast more than 1 year in advance and are also published before March 2st, 2018. The forecast curve and general direction were accurate for the year. The Arcana trend directions and durations were uncannily accurate, as they are every year. Note the “no trend” void September 23rd through December 2nd when the market went crazy.
Our opinion is that the bizarre drops of 2015 and 2018 where the market moved against the predicted trend were a ploys by those in control of the markets to send the FED a message. That message? Raise rates, here is what will happen to you. And the FED listened both times. In both years the market snapped right back up to the predicted forecast.
See below for actual $SPX for the year. We have removed the forecast line and added the actual trades, minor Arcana entry points resuming the trend, and some basic technical analysis.
In the above charts the forecast line is removed for clarity. Included are the “Minor Arcana” turn times, which are entry points on moves against the trend (pale green pillars.) The red/gray pillars are Minor Arcana ends of runs, used for taking positions off. The light green boxes (2 of them) in October are the extreme price buy entries projected by Gann’s Law of Vibration.
There were 4 trades and 1 short entry signal not taken in December. This was due to the enormous volatility. In the first trade, “A” in April, the Arcana trend forecast turns up in conjunction with the forecast curve. You could have aggressively entered at the green pillar or conservatively waited for the market to break above the downtrend line. In trade “B,” the same choice presented between aggressive Minor Arcana entry and trendline break.
Then on September 23rd the trend stops. After 2 great trades like that, we advise “out all positions” during trend voids. “Red Alert” out at October 3rd with a red/gray top of run turn time and our “Top & Bottom Finder” signaling a definite top.
In the trend void between September 23rd and December 2nd, we will look for polarity line breakouts or breakdowns. The polarity lines actually gave a “too volatile” signal during this entire time. But on October 11th we had a Law of Vibration price projection from the top signal and “extreme buy price” in the first light green box at 2712. This was our 3rd trade long with a 100+ point gain. Then another extreme price was hit at 2612. This was our fourth trade. Again another 100+ point bounce.
Finally, the forecasted December 2nd Arcana down-turn was dead on. The market took off south, paused and pulled back, then resumed down. Entry was signaled on a simple trendline break by the red trendline broken. Even though this would have been a killer trade, we advised against it because of excessive volatility. After 4 great trades and 400+ points if these signals were followed, why risk? After all, prices were still above an up-sloping 50-month moving average.
