William Delbert Gann developed many technical analysis tools. His trading methods based on time and price analysis made it possible to determine not only when a trend change was imminent, but also what the best price would be to enter, or exit. In the presence of representatives of a publication, he made 286 trades in a period of 25 market days. Of these, 264 trades were profitable. His use of natural law and geometric proportions are as effective today as they were while he was alive.
