Wizards Of Wall Street

The rumors are true. Esoteric techniques ARE being used to make
big money. Whether it be collapsing stocks on Wall Street, or
volatile Commodity Futures, the esoteric traders are out there
and growing in number.




During my eleven career in Investment Banking, my role as
Technical Analyst to a number of major firms gave me the
opportunity to not only hear about these secret techniques, but
actually use them to advise on the investment of huge quantities
of money.

What sort of esoteric methods are we talking about? Specifically,
Astrology, Numerology and Sacred Geometry. Why are they still
secret? Because, in the extremely conservative world of
Investment Banking, they are considered highly unorthodox, and
hence illegitimate. The very suspicion that such methods are
definitely being used by major “responsible” banks would cause a
media scandal (and has done so on at least one occasion). Even
within the firm, anyone using such techniques tends to keep them
secret from their seniors. The fact that such techniques work
extremely well, and allow you to forecast and trade the markets
in a manner possible in no other way, is not of the slightest
interest.

Astrological techniques are generally used to determine future
turning points – i.e. tops or bottoms – in the market being
studied. However, they can also be used to determine price levels
where falling prices are likely to meet support, or rising prices
are likely to meet resistance to their ascent. In my own work, I
tended to use a clustering approach to determine future turning
points in time. In other words, where several different
astrological signals all line ùp to the same day on daily charts,
or the same week on longer-term weekly charts, it would signal a
high probability turning point. All of these would then be noted
in a calender, often years in advance, which could then be
consulted on a regular basis to watch for critical time periods.

Astrological natal charts are also very powerful. As with human
beings, every stock or commodity is considered to have a specific
date of birth. In the case of stocks, for example, this is often
the incorporation date. Hence it is possible to draw up a natal
chart for a stock, and then analyze what is coming up for that
stock in any particular time period, just as you would for a
human being.

Remarkable astrological correspondences can be seen around major
financial market events. For example, it has bèen found that the
1929 and 1987 stock market charts look remarkably similar.
Actually, this is common knowledge in the financial industry.
What is not commonly known is that when moon cycles and Fibonacci
numbers are considered, it is possible to demonstrate that the
two charts are actually IDENTICAL. Moreover, the 1929 crash and
the 1987 crash are separated by an exact number of Fibonacci
lunar cycles. The person who discovered this “Spiral Calender”
phenomenon, an options trader called Chris Carolyn, put this
information to use in the 1989 “mini-crash” and made so much
money, he never needs to work again!

Numerology and Sacred Geometry are also used in various forms in
the financial markets. One of the truly great exponents of these
techniques was William D. Gann; reputed to be the greatest trader
who ever lived. Anyone interested in these techniques would do
well to study his books and courses.

Most of his techniques center around the circle, and divisions of
the circle. Hence 360, 270, 240, 180, 144, 120, 90, 72, 60, 45
are all important numbers in the financial markets, since they
are all exact fractions of a circle (e.g. 270 is 3/4 of a 360
degree circle). All of these numbers are found to be very
important in studying price charts. For example, you will often
find that a market makes a top exactly 90 days/weeks/months after
a previous top or bottom. Astrologers know 90 degrees to be the
Square aspect.

Gann made use of all sorts of strange charts that would not have
looked out of place in a magician’s secret chamber. For instance,
the “Square of 9″ chart is a number spiral that commences with 1
in the center position. The numbers 2-9 then spiral around it to
form a second layer, followed by all the other numbers in
successive layers, working outward and getting progressively
larger. This was just one of Gann’s square charts. However, he
also did number sequences in hexagons, triangles, and circles.
With these tools, you can plot major market turning points, and
then study relationships between them, using the circular angles
defined above (e.g. the price of the top formed last week is
“trine (120)” to some major previous top or bottom). There are
also ways of combining such charts with Astrology.

Such concepts work on longer term price charts too. Often, you
will find that a market top/bottom occurs 120 months after a
previous top/bottom. Yet, this also illustrates another important
market geometry. After all, what is 120 months equal to? The
answer is, exactly 10 years. Indeed, it is also found that
markets turn on anniversary dates; ten years, five years, one
year, six months etc., after a previous major turning point, etc.
By looking forward on a long-term price chart from a major
previous top or bottom, you will often find other major turns 5,
10, 15 years and more into the future. Indeed, Gann kept charts
going back decades and, in a couple of cases (such as Wheat),
centuries!

In contrast to these TIME turning points, it is also possible to
determine important PRICE levels where the market has a high
probability of stopping and forming a top or bottom. The simplest
method by far is to determine the midpoint between a previous
recent major top and bottom. This midpoint will then form a
support or resistance to the price action. Hence, it is possible
to mark this point in advance on the chart, and watch to see when
the price reaches it. If it starts to turn at this price level
(especially if we have a turning point in time as well, as
discussed above), then a potential trade is possible. There are
many other techniques, besides the “50% retracement” method just
described, for determining key price levels.

In truth, there are a huge number of powerful techniques
available in both price and time. With these, it is possible to
be well prepared for anything the market might do. Indeed, there
are many traders who work 10O% with these techniques ALONE, and
have no idea what is happening in the so-called “real world”.
They do not watch CNN; they do not care what the economists are
forecasting; it does not matter to them who the US/UK are bombing
this month. All that matters is the price action, and what their
esoteric indicators and signals are telling them. You may be
surprised to hear that many of these traders do extremely well
indeed.

The valuable lesson to draw from all of this is that esoteric
technology has many practical applications that are actually
measurable in a quantitative manner. The same divine symmetries
enshrined in the pyramids and temples of Ancient Egypt are alive
and active in the world today, in ways that still defy exact
scientific explanation. Hence, the esoteric numbers and ratios,
discovered and revered millennia ago, truly are present in all
aspects of our world.
