Here is a list of some W.D. Gann books at Amazon.com. The list is a computer search so notice that not everybody named W.D. Gann is a trader.



How to Make Profits In Commodities
Amazon Price: $32.34


Customer Review: WD Gann wrote this updated version of the book in 1951. Yes, 1951. His methodologies and style, as well as his world view, are so….well 1950’s. However, what he provides to those of us who want to be successful in trading commodites is a broad set of ‘do’s and dont’s’ that you can find in nearly every trading book written today. You know, “stop loss orders”, “dont over trade”, “never risk more than X%” of your capital on a given trade, “let your winning trade’s ride”, “get out of a bad trade immediately”, “when in…


45 Years in Wall Street
Amazon Price: $13.59


Customer Review: I dont know if Gann is so bad as Larry Williams says in his book The Right Stock at the right time and in his site, but I agree that this book is extremely boring. It has time series descriptions as: Monday 10.8, tuesday 9.5, wednesday 9.7, thursday 10.2, friday holiday etc… that could be better presented by a chart. Also his 3 point rule is poorly described. The paper quality is also poor. Only the first chapter is interesting because of the rules (some advice) that you can read cheaply on one of the book reviews.


New Stock Trend Detector: A Review of the 1929-1932 Panic and the 1932-1935 B…
Amazon Price: $10.19


Customer Review: In my opinion, this is probably the most important book written
by W.D. Gann. I usually listen many comments from other Gann
student who consider ‘45 years in Wall Street’ as the best book
of this author, but this is better. I think that if you read many times ‘New stock trend detector’ you will find hidden some very important trading techniques that will help you to keep a good track record in your future operations. Naturally, the work for ‘decode’ this techniques among the examples made by Gann,is hard but i…


Tunnel Thru the Air or Looking Back from 1940
Amazon Price: $24.39


Customer Review: The book arrived in very good time but I was not expecting it in the format it is in - large, A4 style. While this isn’t exactly bad it was a surprise but when I look back and read the details the information was always there. It would be good to have this pointed out in plain English ie. copy of original hardback as A4 paperback.


Options Made Easy: How to Make Profits Trading in Puts and Calls
Amazon Price: $9.99


W. D. Gann Treasure Discovered: Simple Trading Plans for Stocks & Commodities…
Amazon Price: $199.00


Customer Review: My title is given after the fact that this book is different from others that I have been reading. The reason why it is different is because this book contains much more graphics then text for reading. Basically this book has 3 different parts: The first introductory (using simple basic tools), than the second part with more advanced rules (this part the author doubles the amount of rules to run the trades) and finally a third part where the author just mention some more advanced rules to manage your trading skills. The…


The W.D. Gann Method of Trading: A Simplified, Clear Approach
Amazon Price: $34.00


Customer Review: …about 5 years ago in IBD there was an ad for this

book in which the book seller said this book was full

top secret info never before available and only available

for the next 2 or 3 days, then the offer is gone forever.

I panic bought. I feel like a total fool.

This book is worthless.


Investment Digest and Annual Stock Forecast
Amazon Price: $13.56


Customer Review: If you want to buy the book, go ahead, just be careful of superbookdeals, they take you money but don’t deliver and don’t answer emails. Caveat Emptor.


The Clinical Handbook for Surgical Critical Care (Clinical Handbook)
Amazon Price: $62.97


Definitive Guide to Forecasting Using W.D. Gann’s Square of Nine
Amazon Price:


Customer Review: Very good book on ALL the ways to use the square of 9 this book is definatly better than his other book about trendlines. This book has helped my trading allot.

Lower looks more likely than not after a consolidation period. It would take a strong rally to change this outlook.
