Sacredscience – The Seeker – A Search for W.D. Gann’s Master Time Factor

The Master Time Factor (MTF) is a cycle method developed by W.D. Gann. The MTF is used to forecast the markets by finding the historical cycle that is repeating in the markets at the current time. The most famous use of the MTF was W.D. Gann’s annual forecasts.  W.D. Gann had a forecasting and advisory service from which he would sell an annual market forecast which would cover the next 9 to 12 months. W.D. Gann did not intend the annual forecasts to be a standalone product; they were supplemented by monthly updates and there was the option of a weekly update provided by telegraph service.

Today Mikula Forecasting Service uses W.D. Gann’s Master Time Factor to forecast to eight markets. The DJIA, the interest rate on the US 10 year T-Note, Soybean, Gold, Silver, Rough Rice and the China/Hong Kong Hang Seng Index. The picture below shows one of our Master Time Factor Charts for the DJIA from 2013. The orange bars are the DJIA. The green line is the 2013 percent change line. The light blue line is the historical cycle identified by the Master Time Factor. This historical cycle help us to forecast the DJIA for over six months. When the Master Time Factor identifies a historical cycle that can be used for forecasting, the cycle will usually work as a forecasting tool for six to eighteen months.
