From the Desk of James Flanagan
Mar Vista, California


Dear Trader/Investor,

Do you have a minute or two to chat? When it comes to trading and investing, I really don't like to overcomplicate things. I believe investing and trading methods should be easy to understand...after all, it's your money, and you should understand exactly what you're doing with it.

So instead of just saying, "trust me," I'm going to borrow a line from the playbook of legendary Green Bay Packers coach Vince Lombardi. When he gathered his professional football players in their first pre-season meeting, he started by saying, “This is a football,” (while holding up the obvious pigskin).

Please, indulge me for a moment while I make the same statement to you: “If you want to make money trading, you need to buy at the 'lows' and sell at the 'highs'.

Let me clarify that a bit. The place to BUY a market for the greatest return possible is at the bottom of move during a bull market; and the place to SELL or go short, is at the top of a move during a bear market.

That seems simple enough, doesn't it?

Hi, my name is James Flanagan, and over course of my 31 year career I've seen so many flimsy, and downright useless methods used to forecast the markets that I stopped keeping track a long time ago.

It's not that every method is terrible. In fact, some are very good. But the fact is, most of the gurus get you to buy into their theory with slick marketing, but never actually produce the results they promised.

The First Hurdle Every Trader Must Overcome

If you've been trading the markets for a while, then what I'm about to say may stir up the memories of trading lessons you've learned. And whether you're a veteran or a newbie, you can't afford to dismiss this reality...

...The fact is, if you want to unlock the markets' riches, then a good system and/or method will help. But, there's something else every trader must come to terms with at some point in time.

First, if you want to succeed as a trader, you must learn to do the opposite of what your emotional instincts tell you to do.

Let me give you an example...

When you're in a trade that looks really good, and the market is moving in your favor, there is a tendency to think or even say things like, "if the market keeps going my way, not only will I make great money, but I'll have freedom, wealth, power and fame too."

This is the moment where many traders decide to throw caution to the winds without regard to risk and end up overtrading.

Then there are other times where a trade is going very bad, and the the market is moving against you.

That's when we tend to have thoughts like: "Oh man, if the market keeps going this way, not only could I lose a lot of money, but I could also lose everything else I've worked so hard to build"

At this point, many traders tend to panic out of their positions, almost always at the wrong time.

The lesson here is: when traders make decisions based on these driving emotions, they usually end up buying the highs and selling the lows - the opposite of what a successful trader must do.

If this scenario sounds familiar, don't worry...you're not alone.

What Makes A Successful Trader?

So if we're going to succeed as traders and investors, what do we need to do?

Over the course of my 30+ year career, as a broker, a trader, and an analyst, there have been some expensive, yet valuable lessons learned.

One lesson I've learned is to resist temptation to buy into media hype or tips from "inside sources."

A successful trader must NOT allow himself to get "caught up" in hype. Whether it's the latest good or bad news in the media, or a hot inside tip, you CANNOT afford to violate this rule.

Even if it's not what feels right at the time, you've got to keep your focus...the BIG MONEY is made when you look to BUY when a market is at it's lows.

I've seen this play out over and over again... many losses on Wall Street would be avoided if people learned from this common mistake...

Typically, when a market is advancing, the media is hyping the story and the crowd is buying in hopes of a continuing advance.

Instead of calling his broker to get in on the action, the successful trader steels his emotions, and wisely fears the possibility of losing hard-earned profits based upon the likelihood of an imminent top.

In other words, this is the time to sell out of positons, and possibly go short when the market tops.

Human Nature Moves the Markets

Since most traders act upon their emotions, they tend to do the same things at the same time. They buy when the news is good, and sell, or stay on the sidelines when the news is bad.

I really think the term "herd mentality" describes this situation perfectly. People move in and out of a market as a "crowd," not because the market is at a turning point, but just because every other trader is doing it.

Then, the collective optimism of traders carries prices to overbought levels. Or, in the case of a bear market, their collective pessimism pushes prices to oversold levels.

In the end, following the "herd" leads to trading losses most of the time.

The goal of my service is to keep subscribers out of the herd, which is being led to the slaughter, and stick to the the old Wall Street maxim, "Buy on rumor, sell on fact."

In other words, sell when good news comes out, while the crowd is buying. And buy when bad news is out, when the crowd is panicking and selling.

W.D. Gann Put It This Way

The legendary trader, W.D. Gann had an interesting take on human emotion in the marketplace.

Look at this quote from W.D. Gann:

"If you will only study the weakness of human nature and see what fools these mortals be, you will find it easy to make profits by understanding the weakness of human nature and going against the public and doing opposite of what other people do.

"Human nature never changes and that is why prices swing from the one extreme level to the other. People get too hopeful and optimistic when prices are high. Then when prices reach extreme low, they get too blue, too pessimistic and over-sell."

The Good and Bad Qualities of Hope

The United States of America successful in so many ways. And one of the great character qualities that have made it successful is hope. The entrepreneurial spirit maintains hope and stands firm in the face of seemingly insurmountable adversity and challenges. This steadfast spirit is the engine behind innovation.

Unfortunately, this same character quality is disastrous in the arena of investing and trading. Traders holding on stubbornly to a position is one of greatest causes of trading losses.

The markets demand submission and flexibility if you are going to be a successful trader.

W.D. Gann's Greatest Market Discovery Bypasses Human Weakness

Just going opposite the crowd was not enough for W.D. Gann. He wanted to know what moved the markets.

This is where Gann addressed another human shortcoming, and formed the basis for his lifelong pusuit to understand market movements.

Gann said: "Our memories are short, and we have difficulty remembering the past."

You’ve undoubtedly heard the phrase, “History Repeats”. It simply implies that those who fail to learn from the past are destined to repeat the same blunders.

Well, Gann formed his theories based on that observable natural phenomenon. He saw history repeating in all areas of life, but especially in the markets. He also saw traders repeat the same mistakes over and over again, never learning from the past.

Gann's Pursuit to Validate His Theories

So he began his journey to understand what lay behind market movements by studying price history.

In fact, Gann was so intense in his pursuit, one of his associates, Clarence Kirven, made this profound statement about Gann's level of commitment:

Gann did not own a computer, not even a calculator. The mere task of updating his paper charts was so daunting that he hired 7 full-time secretaries to do the job!

Can you imagine?

But that didn't stop him from studying nearly every available historical market.

He went to England to study English price history because there was a much longer historical record of financial markets and price history compared to the relatively young U.S. markets.

Gann also spent 10 years of deep study in New York’s Astor Library.

Through it all, Gann discovered that if he understood the history of an individual market and the cycles that dominate its trade, he was able to cash-in on the probability that similar conditions in the past produced similar results in the future.

Historical comparitive analysis became the HUGELY successful cornerstone of his research and forecasting.

Quoting W.D. Gann,

"By studying past history and knowing that the future is but a repetition of the past, you can determine the cause according to the time and conditions. Sometimes it is necessary to go a long way back to determine the cause..."

"Nothing will help you more than going over the past history for commodities (and) studying its actions under different periods...If you know what a commodity has done in the past, you have a better chance to determine what it will do in the future." - W.D. Gann

The more time he spent studying history, the greater his confidence grew, as well as his success.

How Have We Put W.D. Gann's Theories Into Practice?

From the time I picked up Gann's books, 45 Years on Wall Street and How To Make Profits Trading In Commodities, over 25 years ago, I immediately identified with the practical side of his philosophy that "History Repeats," especially in the markets.

Since that time, my desire has been to replicate and build on Gann's work using modern technology, for the sole purpose of capitalizing on the major moves the markets have to offer and giving that information to my subscribers.

After many years of successfully applying this great market truth, it amazes me that so few traders take the time to consult history for the answers it offers.

One reason for this is the fact that historical commodity price data before 1960, is not available from any charting or data service.

I know it seems like 45+ years of data is enough, but in the context of history it offers a very limited perspective.

For example, cotton futures started trading in 1867. Corn, wheat and oat futures started trading in 1877. And coffee, sugar and cocoa began trading in 1881, 1916 and 1926, respectively.

Then there is the historical record for commodity cash prices. While they are very hard to find, cash prices are available (not digitized) for almost every commodity for the past 200 years. However, since there is almost zero demand from traders and analysts, this extensive market price history is just not available in a digital format.

That brings us to the first obstacle we encountered early in our journey... in order to replicate Gann’s methods using modern technology, one daunting requirement loomed:

We Had to Acquire and Digitize ALL of the Historical
Price Data for Every U.S. Market in History…

Not only is computerized price data for most financial and commodity markets only available going back to 1960 (dawn of the computer age), but, there is now over 50 additional years of data that Gann never looked at (He died in 1955).

We searched high and low. Whether it was old newspapers, magazines or microfilm, we managed to collect all of the daily price data for every U.S. financial and commodity market.

It took over 20 years, and $300,000, not to mention thousands of man-hours, and millions of keystrokes to gather and computerize every daily price…

...Resulting in a complete database of price history (over 6,000 years of cummulative data) for all U.S. markets going back to the first day each market began trading.

To our knowledge, it is the largest and only one of its kind.

So, now that we gathered years upon years of revealing financial market data at our fingertips, what did we do with it all?

We designed the single most revolutionary breakthrough in
historical market research...

...The Research Engine™

Even with the ever increasing number of markets for a trader to choose from, you will NOT find two markets that trade alike. In fact, each one has a unique personality, and we refer to this as a market’s DNA.

The Research Engine™ catalogues every individual move in history for each market...the longest to the shortest legs up and down, corrections and rallies, long and short-term bull and bear markets. These moves are all recorded and organized according to W.D. Gann's categorization methods.

The cataloged details for each individual move include:

• The time period (length of each move)
• The velocity of each move
• The percentage price move (advance or decline)
• The Season each move took place
• Premiums
• Cash price moves
• The Master Time Factor
• And a host of other dynamics

Then, the Research Engine™ recognizes the patterns and trends of each individual market over the years (sometimes as many as 200 years of trading for one market).

The Research Engine takes the traits of the current move for a market, and cross-references them with this catalog of traits for every move in history in that respective market. In some cases, we factor in other related markets.

If the DNA in our current move matches other moves that led to key historic turning points, we know the probabilities favor a similar turning point taking place.

Each Market Has a Different Personality

While it is true that history repeats, it is important to understand that different markets have different personalities.

When analyzing historical data, we are like detectives. It's like looking for the habits or patterns of criminals to see what they will do next. Based upon the forensic evidence of a market's current move we can determine if there are any close fits in history.

Gann said, "the farther back you have a record of a stock or commodity and the more you study it, the more you will understand its actions and know when it is making tops and bottoms. You should become thoroughly acquainted with the stocks and commodities you trade, and by studying them, you will learn their individual moves which are peculiar to themselves."

Our study of history shows that the formations made at market highs and lows are consistent, decade after decade. And knowing what highs and lows look like helps us get our subscribers to participate in highly profitable moves.

Over the years, history has also taught us a number of things including:

• what accumulation and distribution look like in various commodities and other markets.
• the typical duration of bull and bear markets in normal times and abnormal times.
• what the runaway portion of a cycle looks like and what kinds of buying or selling corrections are experienced along the way.
• what a "blow-off" and a crash look like.

So, what do we do with this vast amount of research data?

We Create a Virtual  Blueprint  for Each Market Outlining Where a Market is Coming From, and Where that Market is Heading.

By coupling the latest in computer software technology, with our one-of-a-kind price history database, the Research Engine™ scours the markets for opportunities where most have never even ventured to explore.

In fact, the by-product of the Research Engine™ is precisely the nature of the forecasts W.D. Gann used to produce in his "Supply and Demand" forecasting service.

Here's how it works...

After making a strategic series of queries using the Research Engine ™, we are able to construct a virtual  BLUEPRINT  for each market. This  BLUEPRINT  aims to:

• Identify the the past trend of a market
• Identify the current position a market, based on historic precedent
• Make a projection, forecasting the current or following move in terms of price and time.

Listen to what Gann said: "By studying past history and knowing that the future is but a repetition of the past, you can determine the cause according to the time and conditions. Sometimes it is necessary to go a long way back to determine the cause, because you must study war, its effect, the conditions before war and what follows."

I know that the task of looking back at the entire history of the markets seems unimportant to some people. So just for fun, let's look at the historical record for the commodity markets from the most common perspective...without the benefit of an extensive understanding of history, using the Research Engine™.

A look at the history of overall commodity prices since 1760 (chart below) reveals the importance of having a long-term historical understanding. In this chart, you can see that history is marked by alternating periods of inflation, deflation and price stagnation.

Notice this important pattern: there have been six major inflationary commodity bull markets, which carried prices into final highs in June 1781, December 1815, August 1864, May 1920, February 1951 and November 1980.

And, the deflationary periods following these respective highs lasted 11, 29, 32, 13, 17 and 19 years.

In the 1980s, commodity traders who made market decisions based on the assumption that the 1970s brand of inflation would continue, experienced major losses during the 19 deflationary years between 1980 and 1999, when commodities were in a 19 year generational bear market.

However, traders who studied the historical record as Gann did, knew that the minimum deflationary declines between 1781 and 1792, and 1920 and 1933 were approximately 12 years.

These traders anticipated the likelihood of a historic deflation. Then, they postioned themselves on the right side of history.

Is a multi-generational perspective important? I'll let you be the judge.

How Can You Make Money Using Our Services?

Gann quantified the extremes to which the crowd can push prices using historical analysis.

Like Gann, when we enter a market, our objective is to buy on weakness and sell on strength.

After entering positions, like Gann, our objective is to ride the wave of over-optimism and over-pessimism, which at times pushes prices to "unreasonable" and "unimaginable" levels.

When prices are pushed to these types of extremes, a majority of people are buying near the top or selling near the bottom.

Markets move up and down in cycles, and these cycles warn us in advance of the psychological "moments of truth" when major turning points will occur.

Equipped with our research and forecasting, you will be able to move opposite the crowd and allow the redistribution of wealth to flow into your trading account, while avoiding costly media hype and other pitfalls.

In my opinion, a research or forecasting method needs to be based on one or more principles where there's a solid foundation and a proven track record in order to be effective in the real world.

I have been in the markets for a couple of decades.  I have studied wave structure, conventional and non-conventional cycles for quite some time.  Your work using Gann cycles and your research have enabled me to stay on the right side of the big trends, trading the S&P and precious metals.

There is a substantial risk of loss associated with trading futures, forex, stocks, and options. Only risk capital should be used.

Why? Because I don't think most traders want to follow a method that has a good marketing catch, but can NOT produce results on a day-to-day basis.

On the other hand, I have seen with my own eyes, that history repeats in every area of life, and good money can be made by using historical analysis to forecast turning points and controlling emotional urges at critical times.

One of the most powerful features of the Complete Forecasting Service is that it can be integrated with just about any trading method! You can use it to trade the futures and options markets, whether you hold positions for a few days, a week, multiple weeks, or longer.

So if you already have a some type of trading or investing method, then you're an ideal candidate to add the Complete Forecasting Service to your arsenal. In fact, it will compliment your existing method(s) as it alerts you to the generational opportunities as well as major and minor turning points in the futures markets.

Our Research for every futures
market tells you which
specific current markets ...

But we don't stop there...my team of analysts completes the BLUEPRINT for you using the Research Engine

In light of the tremendous potential power of the Research Engine™, I believe the greatness of the Complete Forecasting Service lies in its core dependence upon universal TRUTH -- "History repeats" in all areas of life.

History’s tendency to repeat itself is a phenomenon written into the laws governing nature.

If you found a forecasting service that was relatively simple to integrate into your current methods, and gave you the potential to capture trading opportunities you would never have seen before, wouldn't you do what's necessary to add that weapon to your trading arsenal?

Just think how you will feel when you start seeing NEW trading opportunities where you never looked before.
