In 2017, CMT D’mitri Richardson founded Arcanum Market Research, dedicated to uncovering and refining the original, unpublished trading strategies of W. D. Gann. Until that time, D'mitri had been developing Gann's market strategies within his capital markets consulting business. As the worldwide demand grew for Gann analysis, it no longer 'fit' within Richardson Global Strategies.

Why does 'our Gann' work consistently? The answer is simple: from the outset over 20 years ago D'mitri approached W. D. Gann from as an engineer instead of a magician (quote from one of our traders, Nicky S.)

If you are new to W. D. Gann, his original methodologies stand apart from conventional trading approaches. In the era of algorithms and AI, Gann's trading strategies have only grown more effective, providing a distinct and unshared edge in the market.

In an era where over 70% of market transactions are executed by computer algorithms, Gann's 100+ year old methods should not work. Why could they? Our research indicates that the largest market makers and institutions have automated Gann's mathematical formulas. Since they use non-linear variables and exogenous data, even most advanced machine learning models fail to detect them. Gann strategies are now the perfect way to "beat the machines" trading.

Rooted in the fundamental forces that drive financial markets, Gann’s true trading strategies anticipate market movements rather than reacting to lagging indicators. This offers a new paradigm in trading and market analysis— one that yields consistently high benchmarks, superior win rates, and minimal drawdowns across bull, bear, and consolidating markets. Unlike popular internet strategies that promote vague “principles,” Gann’s methods provide explicit, rule-based systems built on mathematically precise foundations.
