I SUBMIT TO YOU THAT THE PYRAPOINT SYSTEM IS THE PRINCIPLE WHICH W.D. GANN USED. We can prove it, I feel. But if you will accept our point, we intend to spend our time with "hands-on" proof so that WE CAN LEARN THE TRUE AND FULL POTENTIAL OF THE SYSTEM. THIS IS WHY WE GO TO A SEMINAR AND WHY WE STUDY THIS MANUAL. Incidentally, we should have no copyright infringements because, to our knowledge and research, Mr. Gann never taught this in any of his seminars. I had the privilege to personally know, for some seven years, Gann's assistant, Mr. Renato Alghini. "Reno" was with Gann for six years, actually sharing close trading desks. Reno confirmed the extremely private personality of his friend, shown in most of Gann's writings and seminars. Reno passed away a few years ago. However, during the author's years of acquaintance with him, he shared a few facts that made the direction of our efforts truly appear validated. One of the confirmation factors seemed especially worthwhile in the revelation that Gann carried a small paper in hand when in the "pit" for his most successfully recorded trades. This paper, Reno related, was a miniature Pythagorean Cube. One more reason to believe that we had to unravel this mystic marvel -- and that we were on the right track for trading understanding. Mr. Gann died in 1956. It is significant to note that a favorite statement of Gann serves us well when we state that we believe that EVERY TOP AND EVERY BOTTOM in the markets have CALCULABLE counterpart -- a formula for projections and targets for both PRICE and for TIME. His quotes included that of the noted mathematician Faraday. Mr. Gann said, "If we wish to avert failure in speculation, we must deal with causes. Everything in existence is based on exact proportion and perfect relationship. There is no chance in nature, because mathematical principles of the highest order lie at the foundation of all things. Faraday said. There is nothing in the Universe but mathematical points of force.
