Methods and current readings

Every method this project has verified against its printed source, and what the implemented ones say about the market right now. Built 2026-09-18 22:23 UTC.

Status: INSUFFICIENT. Nothing on this page is a signal to trade on.
The forward record is 29 trading days (39 calendar days, 2026-08-10 to 2026-09-17), graded once. Every one of the 3524 grades below was produced on 2026-08-13, 2026-08-17, 2026-08-18, 2026-08-19, 2026-08-20, 2026-08-21, 2026-08-24, 2026-08-25, 2026-08-26, 2026-08-27, 2026-08-28, 2026-08-31, 2026-09-01, 2026-09-02, 2026-09-03, 2026-09-04, 2026-09-07, 2026-09-08, 2026-09-10, 2026-09-11, 2026-09-14, 2026-09-15, 2026-09-17, 2026-09-18, over claim windows opening 2026-08-10 and closing 2026-09-17 — 21 instruments, 438 distinct instrument‑window cells, all inside one market episode. 3524 is a count of rows, not a sample size. Instruments observed over one overlapping fortnight share the same market‑wide move, so the independent observations here number closer to one than to 3524, and every significance figure on this page inherits that.

Over that fortnight the lift was -3.44pp against the engine's own measured nulls (847 correct, 2473 incorrect, 204 non‑discriminating) — worse than chance. The bullish/bearish split inside that number is explained by a rising two‑week grading window rather than by the doctrine: a drift‑matched placebo carrying zero doctrinal content reproduces it (z = +1.03, p = 0.14), and the tape rose across the whole window — every “down” call missed (2 of 39) while “up” was the only positive cell in the table. That is one market direction refracted through five labels, not five results. An effect that survives deletion of the doctrine is not evidence of the doctrine — and eleven trading days is not evidence of anything, in either direction.
675 of 3524 grades (19%) were produced by a grader whose version was never recorded. Of the 3524 grades in this ledger, 675 carry grader_version: analytic-retired-unrecorded — the scoring rule was versioned only after they were written, and the retired rule was not stamped. Those grades are not known to be wrong. They are unattributable: the lift above cannot be assigned to a known scoring rule for 19% of the rows behind it, and neither can any defence of it. Read together with the eleven‑day span, the headline number now has two independent reasons not to be read as an edge.

Read this before the numbers above. 23,823 passages are verified, which means the exact words were found character‑for‑character on the page named. It does not mean they were tested. Only 66 rules are implemented and emitting claims. The rest is doctrine we have read exactly and turned into nothing — usually because the source withholds the operative number.

Current readings

How far each reading stands from the printed page. A rule is not the same thing as the sentence it came from. Of the 4810 live claims below, 1043 (21%) come from a rule whose implementation is verbatim — it does what the source says, in the source's own terms. 3202 come from a paraphrase, and 565 from an inference, where the implementer supplied a step the author never wrote down. Every claim below is labelled. The inferred ones are ours, not Gann's.
How old the market data behind these readings is. Every level below was computed from the price history as it stood on 2026-09-180 days ago. The windows are still open, so the claims still stand and are still gradeable; but a reading is only as current as the bars it was priced from, and this page is built more recently than the last scan. The build date at the top of this page is when the page was made, not when the market was last looked at.

4,810 claims currently in force across 21 instruments and 66 rules — every claim whose window has not yet closed, not just those recorded most recently. Newest genuine snapshot 20260918T222318Z. Each claim states a level or a date, a window it must resolve in, and the tolerance it is judged on — all fixed at emission and never adjusted afterwards.

What every implemented rule says about the market now

This section is not evidence and is never graded. The claims above were recorded before their windows opened, which is the only thing that makes them gradeable. The readings here were recomputed from the price history as it stood on 2026-08-11. Scoring them against what the market then did would be scoring a rule against the data it was calculated from — the oldest mistake in this field, and the reason the two sections are kept apart rather than added together.

821 readings from 49 rules across 22 instruments, computed over 233,845 daily bars reaching back to 1927-12-30. 743 of them resolve before the end of this year; the rest run to 2035-08-06. Every reading carries the reasoning that produced it and the page of the book it came from.

34 of the 83 implemented rules say nothing at all, on any of these 22 instruments. That is the intended behaviour and it is reported rather than hidden: a rule whose trigger condition is not met abstains, and a corpus in which two rules in five are currently silent is a corpus that is not manufacturing signal to fill a page. The silent ones include every Wyler node, Woods's demand areas, four of the five Martin trend-action rules and four Gann squaring variants — checked individually against a fully populated market view, with volume present, so they are abstaining on the market and not on a missing column.

Instruments here are the research series, not the trading universe: ^GSPC, ^DJI and ^IXIC are the indices these authors actually wrote against, and they carry the century of history the long-cycle rules need. The bars end 2026-08-11; a level is an anchor that only moves when a new pivot forms, and a projected date is computed from a pivot months or years back, so both survive that gap — but the gap is stated rather than smoothed over.

How readable is the source sentence behind each reading? This project will not let a reader quote from a page whose text scores below 0.955 on its word-recognition gate — that is how 620 pages were routed away from the text readers. Applying the same gate to the sentences that license the rules: 21 of 240 rule records are licensed by a quote that fails it, and those rules produce 745 of the 2489 claims below whose source sentence can be scored at all — and 188 of the 553 graded claims in the record above.

The worst is nirenstein.sensitive_numbers at 0.680, which alone carries 164 grades. Its licensing sentence reads, in full:
'If968 is thc high thcn pcrhaps, Thereforg Lhey &rc equal the sam: vibralioma] state summationally: These jra alsd sensitive numbers;aS thc SLIm is Uhc Smc; 896 689 698 869" I568 is Ihc Jow Ihen; perhaps, 658'. 586: 856 685 865
A damaged quote is not the same as a wrong rule — “The 10-year oyole oquals 120 months” is unambiguous once you see it. But a rule marked verbatim against a text like this is doing something weaker than the word promises, and the label has no field to say so. It does now.

How much of this could be graded at all

Of 23,823 verified passages, 428 are conditional level statements — a trigger and a target, stated forward (“crossing 56 will indicate 65”). 338 of those name an instrument. 375 give the target as a figure; 53 give it only as a direction — “much higher”, “lower prices” — and are not falsifiable as printed, however confidently they read.

The rest of the corpus is not untested because we ran out of time. It is not gradeable in principle: doctrine has nothing to check, and a procedure whose operative number the author withheld cannot be run by anyone. That is the honest denominator for every other number on this page.

None of the 428 is graded here. A regex can find a sentence that says what will happen; it cannot tell whether the sentence was written before the event or after it in a teaching example, and every row is held pending that ruling. Calling them predictions first would repeat the mistake this page already made once, when 3524 rows were read as 3524 trials.

The verified corpus

Every entry carries the author's exact words and the page they were read from. A quote that could not be found on its page, character‑for‑character after Unicode normalisation, was discarded and the method with it. Open a book to load its passages.

10,724 of these passages state a procedure — and 7,159 of those name a market instrument or a timeframe. The gap is not padding. Baumring's Gann Harmony volumes are bound anthologies: he reprinted the acoustics, geometry and number theory he taught Gann's “law of vibration” from, alongside his own seminar material. A procedure for suppressing chosen partials on a vibrating string is a procedure, and it is correctly recorded as one — it is not a trading rule. Volume 1 has 60 procedures and 6 that name an instrument; Gann's Master Stock Market Course has 653 and 629. The split below is the readers' own recorded judgement, not a classifier: they were told to fill those two fields only where the page states or demonstrates them, and to leave them blank rather than guess.
