GEORGE BAYER & W. D. GANN

George Bayer is even more mysterious than W. D. Gann. Bayer moved here from Germany in the early 1900s, and found his way to becoming a stockbroker and seat holder on the Chicago Board of Trade. The similarities to W. D. Gann are remarkable. Both Gann and Bayer put down roots in Brooklyn, traded financial markets, were members of the New York Stock Exchange and Chicago Board of Trade, wrote in a “veiled language.” Birth and death dates are eerily similar. While we still lack concrete evidence linking the 2, it is very reasonable to believe that another commonality is their involvement in Mystic societies.

While we enjoy surprisingly good luck decoding much of W. D. Gann’s trading methods, George Bayer is a tougher nut to crack. Bayer is less- thorough in the breadth of the material, and his style more scattered than those of W. D. Gann. But his writings supply many of the details left blank by Gann.

Does all this cryptic jargon make you curious? Gann & Bayer’s writings describe something they would use every day to trade financial markets. Let’s transition to the real, specific trading formulas. See the finished product here, in our All of Sepharial's trading formulas Gann use are taught in our "W. D. Gann: Magic In The Markets" Trading Course.

W. G. Gann and George Bayer were similar in that they both were known for their forecasting. They both published forecasting letters, Bayer calling his "Preview of The Markets" while Gann published "The Supply & Demand Letter." Check out our Empire Forecast Letter below, which uses all these principles to forecast the SP 500.

The vibe we get from George Bayer can best be described as “obscure.” Bayer’s writings relish encoded messages in the Bible, and patterns of Hebrew letters that correlate to financial market cycles. But once you know the trading methods of W. D. Gann, Bayer’s writings provide valuable supplements to the techniques that Gann encoded into his books.

For instance, Bayer is blatant about the subject matter when he correlates planetary speed, and the difference between the speeds of two planets, and declinations to turns and direction in the financial markets. This information is defined more cryptically in the writings of W.D. Gann. The writings of W.D. Gann present a much clearer and comprehensive picture of what these men were doing when properly decoded, and If you want a larger overview of the scope of the method both of these men were using, look to Bayer for answers.

Taken at face value, Bayer’s methods appear to be one-off gimmicks, disconnected from any meaningful system. Inserting them as details into W. D. Gann’s system completes the puzzle.

Take for instance the picture of the “puking bird” In Bayer’s “Egg of Columbus.” Often doubted as an urban legend, this rare book burst forth from obscurity years ago. In the book, there is a legendary cycle which Bayer describes and illustrates as what we call a “puking bird.” The key to decoding the whole book is done through one of its foot-notes. When this vital information is combined with the “battle dialogue in Gann’s “The Tunnel Thru The Air.”

It's very notable that, while many claim profitable trading from the methods of W. D. Gann, finding anyone who claims to have decoded George Bayer’s system into profitable system apart from Gann’s methods is a bit difficult. We believe that his information is best served as a supplement to what can be decoded from W. D. Gann’s writings. At the bottom of this page is a list of Bayer’s publications. Many can be found on PDF on the internet.
