You could add a using Walker’s alleged extension of Gann: a “Volume-Time Resonance” meter. It measures whether volume confirms the time factor (increasing into a harmonic turn) or contradicts it (early warning of cycle extension).
Walker has produced several significant works, each offering a unique lens into Gann's system. Together, they form a comprehensive curriculum for the dedicated Gann student.
This feature transforms Gann’s esoteric “Master Time Factor” from a guess into a back-testable, algorithmic timing matrix — while keeping the mystique and geometric elegance that Gann traders expect. Myles Wilson Walker WD Ganns Master Time Factor
The legacy of William Delbert Gann (1878–1955) is shrouded in a unique blend of rigorous financial analysis and esoteric mysticism. While Gann is celebrated for his uncanny market predictions and legendary trading track record, his methodology has often been described as impenetrable by modern analysts. Among the various concepts Gann introduced—such as the Square of Nine, geometric angles, and the Hexagon—the "Master Time Factor" (MTF) stands as perhaps his most significant yet least understood contribution. It was not until researchers like Myles Wilson Walker began to systematically deconstruct Gann’s work that the practical applications of the Master Time Factor became accessible to the modern trader. Walker’s work serves as a crucial bridge, translating Gann’s cryptic numerology into a actionable methodology for identifying market cycles.
While highly controversial in mainstream finance, Gann openly used planetary cycles to calculate time parameters. Walker’s research details how Gann used the synodic periods of planets (the time it takes for two planets to align from the Earth's perspective) to find hidden market rhythms. Walker provides practical methods to apply these planetary aspects to modern charting software without needing a degree in astrology.

Myles Wilson Walker has done the trading community a great service by writing this book. It is arguably the most coherent explanation of the Master Time Factor available to the public. He proves that Gann was not a magician, but a meticulous historian of market data. Together, they form a comprehensive curriculum for the
For the believer, Walker holds the key to the universe. For the skeptic, he is a brilliant cartographer of a country that does not exist. For the serious student of markets, his work is a challenging, frustrating, and intellectually dazzling labyrinth—which is precisely how W.D. Gann would have wanted it.
A significant portion of My Story deals with the mental fortitude required to study Gann's methods. Walker describes the process as a "painstaking quest", highlighting that the secret isn't just in a formula, but in understanding the underlying, almost mystical, order of the market. 3.
