A foundational and timeless work in commodity trading using technical analysis, market cycles, and fundamental understanding and how to utilize these concepts in a coherent, actionable framework to maximize profit. Overall Condition: VG/VG BOOK INFORMATION Published in 1951 by Lambert-Gann Publishing Co. Co. in Miami, Florida. Second revised edition, first printing.

Collated and complete: [xvi], 412, [2] pp. Illustrated with dozens of charts, graphs and tables. The book combines fundamental analysis with technical analysis. Gann stresses understanding supply and demand forces-such as crop reports, weather, and geopolitical events-while also applying his proprietary technical tools, including chart patterns, volume analysis, and his geometric/astronomical methods (e.g., Gann angles, the Square of 9, the Circle of 360). He teaches how to time entries and exits precisely, using both market fundamentals and mathematical indicators. Gann provides 'universal' rules for forecasting commodity trends, emphasizing that trading in commodities is not gambling but a disciplined, business?like profession when conducted on defined principles. ABOUT THE AUTHOR William Delbert Gann (1878-1956) was a pioneering American market technician known for his innovative market forecasting based on astrology, geometric price relationships, swing chart analysis and time cycles. He believed markets moved according to natural laws and mathematical patterns, and he applied these concepts to forecast price movements and manage risk. Gann wrote from practical application, not theory, aiming to turn speculation and investing into a 'profitable profession' through disciplined application of his methods. He believed that market movements follow predictable cycles and that traders can use these to time entries and exits. Gann's work remains a cornerstone in technical analysis, with his unique approaches to market forecasting and time analysis still studied and applied by traders today.

First edition of one of the most sought-after works in the literature of commodity trading, distilling the charts, rules, and forecasting methods of the twentieth centuryâs most famous and mysterious market operator. Octavo, original purple cloth lettered in gilt. From the library of the authorâs sister, Edna Gann Dunn. Written with the authorâs son John L. Gann and published from Gannâs own offices at 82 Wall Street. In good condition with rubbing and wear to the cloth. A desirable family-owned copy of one of Gannâs key works. William Delbert Gann (1878-1955) was among the most famous and enigmatic figures in the history of financial markets, a trader and forecaster whose methods, the Gann angles, the square of nine, and his theories linking price, time, and geometry, still command a devoted following among technical analysts. How to Make Profits Trading in Commodities was written to supply what Gann described as a universal demand for rules that would forecast the trend of commodities, the book drew on his forty years of market experience to demonstrate that speculation can be made a profitable profession when conducted on business principles and mathematical rules rather than reckless gambling, a conviction Gann advanced with the fervor and systematic thoroughness of a man who regarded market behavior as ultimately governed by natural law. The volume covers wheat, corn, cotton, soybeans, lard, and sixteen additional commodities in exhaustive detail, providing rules for identifying tops and bottoms, seasonal trends, support and resistance levels, and the precise stop-loss strategies that Gann regarded as essential to capital preservation.…

First edition of this guide by the renegade financial trader, remembered for his dubious investment advice based on geometry, astronomy, astrology, and ancient mathematics. Co-authored with his son, who later pursued a more conventional trading career, the book argues traders can earn greater profit in commodities than in stocks. Although derided by professional traders, Gann's pronouncements were eagerly followed by amateur investors during the 1920s boom, who sought meaning and strategy amid rising prices and market fever. "Gann's works are the subject of much controversy. True believers abound and still follow many of his arcane methods of forecasting, which emphasise timing, rather than price or volume, cycles, vibrations. what is evident is that, in certain circles, his work and life are as much revered today as they were fifty or more years ago" (Dennistoun, p. 128).
