Gann...

How about Gann ? Wasn't he one of their comtemporaries ? Besides his writings, his amazing trades were verified by the Ticker magazine back in 1909. I guess nothing is popular with the TL crowd here unless it has something to do with volume ?

Actually, Wyckoff seems to have thought that Gann was pretty hot stuff, which I found surprising (and I should have included Elliott). But perhaps this could be addressed in the new Wyckoff Forum rather than the VSA thread (what you quoted was posted before the new forum was created).
I thought the above was an interesting question.

Especially since so many Gann followers seem to depart from the belief that it IS possible to predict the markets. Although I can honestly say I have not studied anything Gann related in depth, it seems like some of the foundations are similar to Wyckoff (supply, demand, support, resistance, trendlines), with one extra layer, being the 'time' factor...

OAC, Perhaps a reason why so little Gann talk is to be found, is because there are 'issues' about his 'credibility' (the use of astrology for example), where I believe there weren't any about Wyckoffs.

This might be interesting, Gann interviewed by Wyckoff:
