Summary
The fifth in Phil Anderson’s series of subscriber emails on Gann resources. It introduces the work of Olga Morales and her planetary timing / astrological approach to Gann, explains why Anderson considers the study of the time axis (rather than price) to be Gann’s core contribution, and provides a recommended study path from Gann’s original books through to Olga’s more esoteric material.

- Gann compiled hand-drawn sector indexes, which Anderson argues makes him possibly the first person ever to construct market sector indexes. — confidence: medium
- Gann was the first analyst to systematically study the time axis of a bar chart; all others before and since have focused on price. — confidence: medium (Anderson’s interpretive claim)

- Anderson’s PSE Gann class attendees introduced Olga Morales to Gann’s work around 2003. — confidence: medium
- Studying “time” as Gann did will provide a measurable edge in markets. — confidence: medium (Anderson’s opinion)
