SPECIALIZED STUDY GUIDES TO OUR BOOKS & COURSES

ROADMAPS TO MASTERING SPECIALIZED FIELDS OF MARKET THEORY & TRADING

Since professional market analysts are generally not scientists, they are often more interested in the

usefulness of practical applications than the proof of some ultimate theory behind the financial markets.

The fact is that for over 150 years, the financial and economic principles of technical analysis, cycle

theory, market geometry, and Gann analysis have produced the best models, tools, and systems, as well

as the most successful financial forecasts of any tradition out there.

Without considering what this means for scientific and cosmological theory, from a purely practical

standpoint for investors and traders, Cosmological Economics provides the most valuable and practical

tools for professional investors and traders engaged in navigating and trading the financial markets.

Not only does the Institute of Cosmological Economics possess the most complete collection of research

materials dedicated to the advanced theoretical study of these subjects, but we also possess the very bestcollection of applied technical trading systems, practical analytical techniques, as well as market

information, forecasts and reports valuable for investors and traders.

The following Study Guides will approach these subjects from a number of different perspectives which

have been of greatest interest to our clientele over the 30+ years that we have been involved in publishing

works and providing education and training for traders within these fields.

Each section begins with a group of statements or questions that we have been asked by different types of

students, traders, investors or analysts over the years, which would be best answered by that particular

Study Guide. This is followed by an overview of the subject, leading to a list of books, courses or other

materials which will help to outline a plan of research, study and practice to accomplish that particular purpose. Complete details of each book or course can be found under those listings on our website.

We have tried to limit the list of materials in each of these Study Guides to only absolutely most important

materials, which we have organized by complexity and cost into intermediate and advanced categories.

On need not begin with the simpler, introductory works, as the more advanced courses are generally more

inclusive and provide a fuller education on the topic.

These Research Maps and Study Guides are meant to give some general direction and guidance to those

who have little familiarity with this material. They take our extensive catalog and boil it down to very

specific focuses, so we strongly recommend you take a careful look at this section since it can be of great

help in guiding you through our vast resources to exactly the right material needed to accomplish your purpose.

Please always feel free to contact us with any questions you may have or for more specific information or

recommendations to fit your particular needs. We are always here to help!

THEORETICAL SYSTEMS & STUDY PROGRAMS

COSMOLOGICAL ECONOMICS - CRACKING GANN’S SCIENTIFIC SYSTEM

INTENTIONS FOR THIS FIELD OF RESEARCH:

- I am a die-hard Gann Researcher looking to “crack the markets” and fully understand Gann’s system , no

matter how long it takes!

- I am an engineer or scientific researcher who sees an obvious order of some kind in the financial markets and

I want to understand and quantify the scientific principles behind it.

- I am an esoteric researcher who feels that there must be some form of symbiotic relationship between universal

phenomena and mass human consciousness which I want to understand.

- I am fascinated by the mysteries of the universe and find great joy in knowing how things work

OVERVIEW

For those who possess a genuine desire to understand the scientific system behind the financial markets, or who are

dedicated to “cracking” Gann’s Law of Vibration, this is the best, if not the only path for you. The study of

Cosmological Economics delves directly into the study of natural science and mathematical order, seeking to

uncover the underlying principles of causation that lie not only behind market phenomena, but behind all systems

in nature, be they physical, biological or psychological.

This science explores the subtle relationships between man and the cosmos, in a scientific and esoteric quest to

determine whether there are truly causative forces behind systems like the financial markets, or some other kind of

correlative factors that intimately interlink them. This is a deep and complex study requiring serious commitment,

and generally many years of research into numerous fields of study.

For a better understanding of the principles and theories behind this field of study, see our introductory material on

Cosmoeconomics, its Origins & History, Foundations, and Proof in our Information Center. For this study,

we recommend the work of Dr. Jerome Baumring of the Investment Center, who’s Gann Harmony: The Law of

Vibration Seminar Series in the 1980’s represents the most advanced and complete study of the subject every

developed.

The listings and links below will take you to the specific courses, but also be sure to visit the Baumring Showcased

Author Page, for numerous links to further introductory and supporting material related to this important study. It

was Dr. Baumring’s work that inspired and provided the foundations for this website and that provides the core

teaching of the field of Cosmological Economics. There has been no deeper or more advanced study of Gann and

the scientific and cosmological bases of market order every developed.

THE CIRCLE: Quantitative Analysis of Financial Price-Time Structure

As has been discussed in the Origins & History section of our Introduction to Cosmoeconomics, Dr. Baumring

is the preeminent master of Gann Theory and the only one known of to have fully “cracked” Gann’s Theory of the

Law of Vibration, and to have uncovered the full spectrum of the scientific system behind it, extending it to even

new levels beyond those understood by Gann.

The teachings of Dr. Baumring provide the core theoretical structure of this website, and represent the bulk of the

research materials presented here, being essential source works for the study of Cosmological Economics and Gann

Theory as presented by Dr. Baumring.

Mastery of Baumring’s Gann Harmony Courses entails an equivalent level of work to that of Ph.D. student inscience and economics, and requires a minimum of 3-5 years of dedicated research and study to fully penetrate the

subject. This is not a course that can be scanned through superficially in the hopes of gaining some quick answer or

market secret.

It requires a long and dedicated training through many complex and challenging subjects and entire fields of

knowledge, incorporating them into an integrated system that is best described as Universal Cosmology, in the

context that such terms were used by Ancient or Renaissance thinkers. For more background, see the articles on

the Foundations of this Tradition.

This study incorporates 100’s of other important works from the financial, scientific and metaphysical fields, so

ultimately, any other useful reference work that provides insights into this field will be included within the Baumringstudy itself. In fact, most of the books on this website are reference works providing background research or

specialized applications integrated into the wider Baumring educational program.

This means that Dr. Baumring’s program will ultimately guide students through every important work related to

this field, and will guide students to every important concept connected with this market orientation. Students do

have some leeway, however, and can somewhat limit their range of study to more specialized or narrow focuses of

interest, or angles of approach, depending upon their focus and intention. There are many perspectives from which

to approach this vast field, and mastery of every angle of the study is not required to reach the goal of forecasting

and trading.

Dr. Baumring’s educational program is one of a kind! It is the only study to even begin to explore the full breadthof the science behind Gann’s Law of Vibration. Therefor e, it is the only recommendation we can provide to fulfill

the goal of “cracking Gann,” which will lead to a thorough understanding of the cosmological system behind the

order of the financial markets. There is simply nothing else available from any source that even attempts to

accomplish this goal.

Every Gann researcher that we have ever seen master this subject did so through the influence or guidance of the

Baumring courses, and their knowledge far surpasses that of the other experts in the field.

GANN THEORY – THE MOST DIRECT PATH TO UNDERSTANDING & APPLYING


- I heard about W. D. Gann’s legendary returns and forecasts, and would like to explore Gann Theory and learn

what it’s all about.

- I am professional trader, broker, or money manager and I know some traders who use Gann techniques and

they always seem to know what the market is doing and trade it with great skill. I want to learn how to do so too!

- I am an experienced trader who uses some technical tools and I’m always looking for new tools to add to my

arsenal. I’ve heard of Gann and woul d like to use it.

- I’ m a long time Gann student and have struggled for many years to understand his work or to apply his tools.

I’m looking for help in advancing my studies and trading beyond what I have been able to do on my own.

- I hear that Gann is the best of all technical analysts and forecasters, I want to know why and how he did it!

OVERVIEW

While Dr. Baumring’s course series represents the primary pathway into the complete science behind Gann’s Law

of Vibration, there are numerous other excellent interpretations and valuable applied techniques available based

upon various partial elements of Gann Theory. Most traders and researchers are not concerned with understanding

every inch and detail of Gann’s system. Rather, most are seeking practical techniques and tools that they can use

for forecasting and trading the markets that will not require many years to understand and apply.

This Study Guide presents our selection of the very best works leading to a deeper understanding and successful

application of Gann Theory. Gann’s works themselves represent a key segment of this category, but as many will

attest, they can be quite challenging to interpret on their own. For this reason, there are a number of skilled analysts

and traders that have distilled elements of Gann Theory down to practical techniques and methodologies that westrongly recommend for an accelerated entry into the complex world of Gann Analysis.

Each of these works provides a different angle, tool, perspective, focus, framework or skill taught by Gann. Each

author has explored and developed their work over considerable time, and has distilled the essence down into these

important interpretive works which will save the uninitiated seeker many years on his path to becoming a competent

Gann Analyst or trader. Each book listed here represents the compilation of 1000’s of hours if not many years of

dedicated research, trial, and error by these individuals. Thus, we consider this the best place to start as a first

introduction to Gann studies, and for an accelerated application of some of Gann’s most powerful techniques.

DANIEL T. FERRERA’S MASTER’S SERIES ON GANN ANALYSIS

Ferrera’s courses are our most popular Gann courses, and we strongly suggest them as the first and best place to begin. He takes Gann’s most difficult ideas and boils them down into clear and practical tools that can be applied

by any trader, once Ferrera has explained them. His series of books and courses work through all of Gann’s most

important ideas, step by step, presenting lucid explanations and demonstrating how to use these tools for practical

forecasting and trading. Ferrera’s work alone is like a Master’s Degree in Gann Theory & Analysis.

TECHNICAL ANALYSIS – SCIENTIFIC TRADING SYSTEMS


- I am new to trading and am trying to sort out the difference between Fundamental Analysis and Technical

Analysis?

- I have charting software with lots of complicated looking technical tools, but little explanation, and I would

like to study some of the source works on Technical Analysis to learn how it works?

- I’ve studied some modern theories of Technical Analysis but want to look into deeper and better theories from

the Golden Age of Technical Analysis, when all the modern tools were originally developed by the famous Great

Masters?

- I’ve found a few technical indicators which I really like and I want to find even more to add to my toolbox?

OVERVIEW

In case you are wondering why we do not list a Beginner set of books on Technical Analysis, it’s because there are

really not any beginner books that are worth reading. In fact, most general books on technical analysis, aside from

the great classics, are relatively useless regurgitations of ideas better explained elsewhere.

The books below represent some of the very best books on the subject from the Golden Age of Technical Analysis.

Most of them were found and preserved by Donald Mack then the best were selected by Dr. Jerome Baumring as

required reading for all of his students of Gann Analysis, since many of the principles in these great classics are

quite valuable for all serious analysts.

Gann himself pulled sections from Cole’s book, Graphs & Their Application to Speculation, for his own courses,

and Baumring also uses sections from some of these classics to illustrate key concepts in his own courses. We have

a much larger list of the great classic works in our Category Listing for Technical Analysis, all of which are

excellent and were recommended by Baumring. This first list of absolute Classics is fundamental and should not be

missed by any serious analyst!

Following that, the advanced list includes some of our very best works on the subject, mostly by modern authors,

but also some of the deeper old classics by the great masters. Generally, these represent more thorough courses

including proprietary trading techniques that are the most advanced and powerful of any of those available anywhere

today.

- I’m a metaphysical researcher and am interested in astrology but never thought of applying it to the markets.

I’m curious about how it works for trading, but I don’t know where to start ?

- I’m a technical analyst and trader and I’m looking for more sophisticated timing tools. I have heard astrologyis good for nailing down the time element and finding turns and trends.

- I’m really into betting on sports like football, soccer and horse racing and I’ve heard that people use astrology

to forecast winners quite effectively. Do you have books on that?

- I’m a diehard skeptic who can’t believe something like astrology could predict markets, so I want to read some

books on the subject to determine if there could be any truth to this theory.

APPLIED TECHNIQUES & STYLES OF TRADING

THE FASTEST PATH TO PROFITABLE TRADING


- I’m a new and aspiring trader, but I know almost nothing about the markets or trading. I want to find the

fastest road to making money through trading? Can you please direct me to the shortest path to successful

trading?

- I’ve tried again and again to trade but I’ve only failed and lost money every time. I looking for something that

really works, and am willing to try a couple last things before giving it up once and for all … I feel like a total

failure with this and really want to get over this frustrating hump!

- I would consider myself to be an advanced analyst and my theoretical understanding is excellent, but all this

knowledge just doesn’t seem to help me to make any money, at least not consistently... Some say that traders and

theorists are just two different types and that never the twain shall meet. Is this true, or is there something thatwill solve this problem for me?

OVERVIEW

The most common and repeated questions we are asked both by newcomers to trading and old researchers is, “what

course will lay out the fastest path to consistently making money through trading?” In the past this was often a

difficult question to answer, since most of our materials focus on deeper research and sophisticated analytical

techniques used by advanced traders who are usually already accomplished traders. So, over the years, we have

developed a two very specific courses with exactly this intention in mind: to teach anyone to make consistent money

trading.

DANIEL T. FERRERA - THE KEYS TO SUCCESSFUL SPECULATION

The first of these, Ferrera’s Keys, is the best course there is to understand the fundamental principles of risk

management and swing trading. Swing trading was the technique that Gann himself first taught to all of his students.

It is a mechanical process of trading each sequential short term swing in any market. It uses basic technical analysis

to identify when the swings are topping or bottoming and changing directions, combined with a logical, mechanical

trading strategy. It teaches the fundamental mechanics of swing trading while developing the discipline of daily

analysis and decision making, while learning to reading market swings and energy.

Ferrera accompanies this mechanical trading system with an important study of risk management, the most critical

principle to success required by all traders. Many fund managers have read this course and said that it gave them

many valuable insights that improved their trading technique. Ferrera even demonstrates here how one can make

profits using a totally random trade generator!

These principles are something that every trader must master if he wants to be successful. Every detail required to

begin trading is explained in this course, from account management, to trade entry, stop placement, trade

management, and exit strategy. It’s an all in one trading course!

GORDON ROBERTS - MARKET VIBRATIONS: W.D. Gann’s How to Make Profits in Modern

Markets


10/14



The second course that we consider to be fundamental to learning successful trading is Gordon Robert’s Market

Vibrations. This course presents the second and more profitable strategy that Gann taught to his students after they

had learned swing trading. It explains the strategy that Gann himself used to generate his legendary trades where

he produced huge profits from small accounts using Leveraged Position Trading.

Unlike the prior course, this strategy trades only the largest, most profitable moves in the markets on an intermediate

term level. One looks across numerous markets, hunting for very specific “trade setups” that Gann defined as

foreshadowing significant large price moves. It then uses a leveraging strategy to invest small amounts, with little

risk, to generate large returns with an average risk to reward ratio of 1:10, with better trades often running 20, 30,

even 50 times the initial investment when big swings are captured.

This style of trading is actually easier than swing trading, because it does not require that the trader monitor the

market continuously to watch for every small change in trend. Instead, one watches for these larger trade setups,

which generally last for 2 to 12 months as the market makes a significant intermediate term move, generating large

profits due to the use of the leveraged position strategy. This is the biggest bang for the buck and the smartest way

to trade used by the big traders.

CONCLUSION

For any trader looking to move as quickly as possible to profitable trading, these are the two best courses, Dan

Ferrera’s Keys to Successful Speculation, and Gordon Robert’s Market Vibrations, that we most highly

recommend. We actually recommend them both so that each trader digests ALL of these most critical principles,

and particularly masters the concept of risk management.

With both courses, any trader will be able to trade either a single market through shorter term swing trading, or

multiple markets through intermediate term position trading, and will be a master of both possible trading methods

that Gann himself used and taught.

POSITION TRADING & INTERMEDIATE TREND FOLLOWING


- I want to make really big returns but without a lot of effort. Is that even possible?

- I looking to reproduce the huge returns like WD Gann made in his day, like 1000% in a month like he did in

the Ticker Interview or even 12,000% like he made trading Cotton . Is there a way to do that in today’s markets?

- I’m not someone who’s attached to trading any specific market, I just want to trade big moves, wherever I can find them.

- I am busy with a job and family and only have a limited amount of time to dedicate to my analysis and trading?

Can I still make decent money trading that way?

- I only have a small trading account of around $5000. Is there any strategy that will let me make some real

money with that limited amount of capital?


11/14


12/14



- I only trade one market, and there are maybe a couple others I might want to trade too. What is the best

approach for someone who is focused only on one or a few markets to trade?

- I have a lot of free time and I love to trade every day, and to engage in the excitement of the market as it moves

up and down. What is the best approach for me to trade in my circumstance?

- I heard that Dr. Baumring said that if one just wanted to make money trading the mar kets and didn’t care much about all the Gann type ideas, he should just learn Swing Trading and Risk Management. What do you

recommend to do just that?

OVERVIEW

Swing trading was the technique that Gann himself first taught to all of his students. It is a mechanical process of

trading each sequential swing in any market, using technical analysis to identify when the swings are topping or

bottoming and changing directions. It teaches the mechanics of trading, the discipline of analysis and decision

making, and the foundations of reading market swings and energy. This is what is considered to be the foundation

of trading an individual market and should be studied by every trader.

Dr. Baumring told his students that if they just wanted to make money, they should study risk management and

options trading, and then find a good swing trading system. He recommended Dunnigan’s One-Way Formula and

Jackson’s I-S Method , listed below as swing trading systems. Gann himself has a collection of his own swing

trading courses and mechanical indicators in Volume 5 of our collection of Gann Courses, and Tim Walker wrote

an excellent analysis of Gann’s method in his How to Trade Like WD Gann.

However, we would consider Ferrera’s Keys to Successful Speculation the best of our swing trading courses.

Ferrera studied, in depth, all of Gann’s systems and those recommended by Baumring and reengineered them to be

more effective in modern markets. He accompanies this mechanical trading system with a profound study of risk

management, the most important principle which all traders must master if they want to succeed. Even fund

managers have read this course and commented that it gave them new and valuable insights which improved their

technique.

Prandelli’s Polarity Factor System is another excellent swing trading system that uses Gann’s Master Time Factor

to create a yearly cycle model for each market to identify the swing turns. It then uses Planetary Longitude Lines

to define price levels, and combines the into a brilliant and effective swing trading system. Prandelli also has a

Yearly PFS Forecast Bulletin which provides swing traders with his analysis across a number of markets.

Finally, we have a number of excellent works on technical analysis which provide invaluable tools for identifying

the turns, levels and trends of the markets, critical for identifying the swings and their turns and for knowing when

and where the reversals will take place. Pancholi’s Market Timing Report is also quite effective at identifying the

short term weekly swings in key markets which provide valuable timing signals for swing traders.

DAYTRADING – THE MICROSCOPIC FOCUS


- I’m a day trading junky and I love to sit all day with my face glued to the screen. What are your best analytical

tools for a day trader like me?

- I’ve studied Gann and technical analysis a bit, but it seems that many of those tools a re focused on longer term analysis and forecasting. Which tools are more effective for intraday and identifying the very short term trend

and price levels and turning points?

- I know Gann and Baumring were not day traders really, but can I use their techniques for short term trading?

OVERVIEW

Daytrading is not the primary focus of the materials on this website, since both Gann and Baumring considered

daytrading to be a relatively ineffective means of trading, in that it required the most time and effort for the least

return and opportunity. The largest money is to be made from position trading first, swing trading second, and lastly

trading on an intraday level.

Yet, we still have numerous analytical techniques and courses that work just as well on any time frame from monthly

to weekly to daily, all the way down to any intraday interval. Market are like fractals, so good technical analysis

and market geometry will generally work just as well on any level. The courses listed below are those in our catalog

which provide the most effective analytical tools for trading on intraday levels.

Ferrera’s Gann Pyramid shows how to use Gann’s Square of Nine to project both price and time levels in any time

frame, and his Path of Least Resistance applies Gann’s geometrical and mathematical tools to determine trends

and turns on any time frame. Goulden’s Behind the Veil provides a fantastic set of tools for projecting price levels,

angular trends, and future time turns which work beautifully on an intraday level. Prandelli’s Planetary Lines work

beautifully to define key support and resistance levels on the intraday level.

INVESTING – RIDING THE LONG CYCLES


- I’m a regular investor managing my own account and I’m looking for a forecast service to provide me with big picture trading signals over the long term?

- I’m a newly retired Baby Boomer and I inherited a nice nest egg from my parents when they died. I’d like to

manage the money for myself, both in long term investments, and maybe in some intermediate term investing

and trading too. Where do I start?

- I’m a professional money manager and am looking for tools or services to help me gauge the long term

investment climate and general market trends.

OVERVIEW

While longer term investors are generally not as engaged in complex financial research as traders tend to be, theystill require some guidance as to what to expect in terms of the longer term cycles and trends of the market.

Following are our works which more specifically focus on a longer term, bigger picture perspective, creating

cyclical models and trend indications for the long term market structure. We also have some informational resources

that focus on the longer term perspective of the investor.
