Тунел през въздуха
Милионерите не използват астрология, милиардерите го правят!
Тези думи, приписвани на Дж. П. Морган, се отнасят с най-голяма сила за Уилям Ган, наричан Прорицателя от Уолстрийт. Смятан за един от най-великите борсови играчи и финансови анализатори на всички времена, Ган дори не е завършил гимназия. Въпреки това създава легендарен метод за прогнозиране на борсовите котировки, който съчетава геометрия, астрономия, астрология и древна математика.
„Тунел през въздуха“ е най-прочутото и най-загадъчното произведение на Уилям Ган. Едни виждат в него вдъхновяваща история за мястото на човека във Вселената, други смятат, че тук Ган е разкодирал послания, скрити в Библията, трети са убедени, че книгата крие тайните на борсовата астрология и феноменалните успехи на Ган.
Самият Ган определя „Тунел през въздуха“ като „мистичен роман, който съдържа безценна тайна, забулена с воала на словото. Някои ще я разкрият още с първия прочит, други с втория, но повечето ще разбулят тайната едва когато прочетат книгата за трети път.“

This is probably one of the most intensely studied works of fantasy of which you've never heard. Why? Because supposedly this book has encoded secrets contained within that will enhance your life and unlock your ability to predict human behavior in the seemingly chaotic world of investment. Can you solve the puzzle and become the next George Soros or Paul Tudor Jones? Well, buckle up, my would-be tycoons, because we're going to explore W.D. Gann's mysterious 1927 science fiction romance "The Tunnel Thru the Air."
What we have here is a novel that can be read on multiple levels. There's the first-level speculative fiction narrative that can be read for pure entertainment. Then the novel explores Biblical themes that are designed to inspire the reader and which can be applied to improve lives. The third level involves unlocking secret mathematical patterns found in astronomy and nature that can be used to calculate with accuracy variabilities in systems, secrets that the author claims to have employed throughout his successful career as a trader. Well, with such a strong claim, you'd think this book would be selling more copies than "The Lord of the Rings" and "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" combined.
But to be honest, most people likely can't get past the first level. As a science fiction novel, it is written in an overly simplistic yet preachy manner. Our main character is Robert (yes, we have another "Bob" here, my friends!) and we are introduced to him from birth. As he grows up, we learn that he's a Mama's boy and an engineering savant. It is not much of a story. The author just gives us a list of dates and tells us that such-and-such happened at such-and-such time. But what exactly does happen?
Bob goes to Sunday school and is read the Bible by preachers. We are quoted verse after verse from Thessalonians and Corinthians, and when Bob asks his mother what they mean, we get her fundamentalist interpretation of the same verses.
Bob falls in love with a rich girl, but for some reason Bob thinks she is cheating on him and he sends her all kinds of accusatory letters and morose poems like some histrionic incel.
Then we get almost the entire book of Ezekiel quoted in Chapter 5, complete with Gann's, er, I mean, Bob's idiotic interpretations full of American nationalism and egocentrism. Because when the Old Testament talks about Israel, it's REALLY talking about the United States, you see, and the Bible predicts North America will win supremacy over the entire world. For freedom! And stuff.
Starting to get the picture? The more you read his book, the more you realize Gann was seeing hidden meanings all over the Bible based on what was going on in his own strange little mind. If this was Gann's idea of how "coded secrets" work in the Bible, then so far it's not looking good for there being any actual secrets in "The Tunnel" either. Oh, but we're only at Chapter 6 at this point. We still have 380 more pages to go!
It isn't until almost the halfway point that we get any kind of plot. Bob and his fiancee get on an overnight train bound for St. Louis, where they plan to get married. Before they retire for the night, she has a premonition that the train will crash or that something tragic will separate them. The next morning, the girl has disappeared from the train. Nobody can recall seeing her. Her luggage is missing. Did she get cold feet and decide to leave Bob high and dry? Or is something more nefarious at work?
Some codebreakers believe the date given for this disappearance is one of the clues to the secrets in this book involving lunar cycles. In fact, a man named Petter Amundsen has argued that the title of the book is an anagram that stands for "From the Lunar Return, Looking Back to His Mother."
Interesting, but even if Gann was a brilliant puzzle maker, it's obvious that he was not a good writer of fiction. His writing frankly stinks, and his plot is nonsensical when it exists. For example, Bob's fiancee disappears under very suspicious circumstances while eloping with Bob, yet there's no police investigation or even concern on the part of her family. Everybody seems more worried about Bob, trying to cheer him up by saying she'll turn up someday, even her parents. But she has literally vanished! Nobody suspects foul play? Bob is not a witness, or even a suspect, to a crime?
Gann may have been a financial genius, but he was an overindulged child in many ways, because a man of his intellect should have had the self-awareness to know that his writing was beneath the quality of a fifth grader. And if an editor had told him so, he clearly didn't listen.
I hope he was much better at writing instruction books, of which he has multiple published courses to his credit on how to navigate the stock market. Day traders and investors across the world have studied the "Gann Method" in the hopes of finding some science behind Wall Street. Gann promises them that trading is not just gambling, but science! So let's explore what we do know about the man's thinking from this book:
Gann believed that there is a strength to the number 360. A 360 degree angle closes the circle, bringing you back where you started, while half of that puts you in the opposite direction by completing only half the circle. Thus, the ups and downs of the stock market is as "simple" as winter being the cold extreme to warm summers 182 days later. As a Christian, Gann may not have agreed entirely with the idea that there is an afterlife in heaven and hell, but he thought that there was a literal reason for all the numerology in the Bible, like the frequent use of the number 7 or the number 40 to measure cycles (i.e. 7 days of creation, or 7 years of famine followed by 7 years of plenty, or the 40 days and 40 nights of floods).
From this Biblical inspiration, he started looking for cycles in the zodiac clock that had been used for centuries to predict the ebb and flow of tides and to navigate the seas. He saw that it took 4 minutes for the Earth to rotate 1 degree, 24 hours to make a full rotation, etc. He extrapolated that there were minor and major cycles where events repeated in history. "There is nothing new under the sun," the Bible says, so he started taking this literally. For example, he believed that ancient Atlantis really existed and had advanced technologies, like air travel, that were lost, but which were fated to cycle back again in future civilizations. If airplanes existed in the time of the Old Testament, through huge leaps in logic, he thought the technology would return because major technological advances in transportation occurred every 100 years. By this reasoning, he predicted airplanes would be the major form of travel by the 1930s and could fly at speeds of 1000 miles per hour. If he were alive today, Gann would probably say that the flu epidemic from 1918-1919 should have predicted the COVID outbreak 100 years (or so) later.
So he tried to apply his version of the zodiac clock to navigating the markets. It has become known as Gann's Square-of-9 theory or simply as the Gann Theory. Gann created a 9x9 spiral grid from a geometrical pattern that he felt represented the supports and resistances in the market. The grid is divided into angles with four cardinal crosses at 90, 180, 270, and 360 degrees. Enter the current market price or the average trading price of any security into the starting square and you can calculate the relative levels of when to buy or to sell short. However, knowing the "time factor" of the ups and downs of that security or commodity price determines what axis (or cycle) you are dealing with, allowing future performance predictions. Nowadays, there are online programs where you can just enter in a price and the Gann calculations are done for you.
It has been assumed that Gann was trying to demonstrate the use of this technique during a section of the novel where Bob is an adult and trading in cotton commodities. The reader is given detailed data of Bob's cotton trading activity. However, analysts say that the data here is not sufficient to detail the mechanism of the behavior of the markets, and that nowhere can there be found anything encoded in the rest of the novel to betray how it all works. In fact, Gann even says in the book that the world wasn't ready to understand the reasons why it works and so he wasn't going to bother explaining it.
Still, readers continue to try to find secrets hidden in page numbers, repeated words, significant dates, and all kinds of other possible clues in the physical text. The internet is full of published "findings" from faithful Gann readers over the years. The significance, if there is any, of these findings is still not explained, and I suspect will mean nothing unless you are a familiar with astrology. But as a student of the mind, I have my own means of studying patterns of human behavior, and when I look at the spread and variety of the "findings," it appears that no one seems to have found anything that isn't the equivalent of seeing faces in the clouds.
The rest of the novel concerns how Bob is convinced that the great prophets like Ezekiel ascended to heaven by airplane. He uses the monies earned from his stock market trades to build an invisible airship based on "plans laid down in the Bible" that he hopes will lead to American victory in a second global conflict, which eventually happens in the book when Japan attacks the United States. Remember that this book was written in 1927, so as goofy as all this sounds, Gann does show some foresight in predicting World War II. Unfortunately, he got the dates wrong. But that doesn't discourage Gann believers. Because, you see, when Gann talked about a second world war in this book, he REALLY meant it to be an allegory for the Great Depression!
So what we have here is a lackluster work of fantasy that appears to defy full revelation of wisdom promised, or perhaps never contained any secrets in the first place beyond his forecasting theories which he had already been writing about in textbooks.
The only reason people keep trying to find the ghost of Gann winking at them behind every number and date in "The Tunnel" is because Gann said there were secrets... repeatedly. Perhaps the whole thing was a clever marketing strategy to sell an otherwise dry work of fiction. Now, he WAS a 33rd degree Freemason, and depending on what you think you know about that society, any secrets that they have regarding ancient mathematics would need to remain secret. So it is possible he never intended to spell any of his wisdom out even if he had it to give.
But I think an examination of his writing indicates that Gann was likely a high functioning borderline psychotic. He was a wiz with numbers, but his digital brain fixated on patterns that weren't there, fed by his interest in astrology and whatever stuff the Freemasons were teaching him, and he applied his own confabulated significance to these patterns with the deep conviction of a schizophrenic who swears the president is really an alien humanoid lizard disguised using advanced cloaking technology.
But even if it were true that Gann fell on the psychotic spectrum, history has shown that he DID make some stunning predictions in the market. The man clearly had a gift, even if he couldn't articulate it in a work of science fiction. I think what we have here is a case that demonstrates the still unexplored borderland of "madness and genius," ranking up there with the biographies of people like Bobby Fischer and John Nash. Gann's Square-of-9 and Master Charts, Gann angles, time factors, and planetary configurations are still utilized, even if people don't fully understand the supposed astronomical and Biblical mathematics that he thought governs patterns of market behavior. There also continues to be an entire subculture that revolves around astrological finance forecasting. A quick internet search will bring up lots of eye-catching ads: "And you too, for just $495, can join my seminar and learn how to make the stars work for your pocketbook! Register TODAY!"
In conclusion, as a work of science fiction, this story is almost skippable. The whole thing feels like the ravings of a manic Sunday morning televangelist making shit up in a brain inflamed with seizures, and claiming it's all in the Bible. I didn't learn anything that would change my life. Well, that's not entirely true. I was inspired to do more of my own careful exploration of the Bible, I learned a bit about how astrologers think, and I actually may do some trial runs on paper with a Gann calculator to see what I think of its utility.
But I can't in good conscience rate the novel itself more than one star. The book as a whole gets 3 stars for its cultural significance, and thus I give "Tunnel Thru the Air" an average of 2 stars. It mostly serves as a curiosity for fans of early science fiction and a legendary quasi-mystical tome for investment strategists and market forecasters.

This book is not what it appears. It could easily be a lifetime's work analysing it.

This is an absolutely bonkers book - complete fantasy and nonsense from start to finish. Supposedly, W.D. Gann wrote this as some kind of parable or teaching material about trading. You're supposed to read it three times before you understand it. Frankly, it was enough to read it the once. Despite what other reviewers might say, it's not a compelling story as a romance or adventure. It's about an unquestioningly loyal, hard-working protagonist who wants to serve his country and pretty much saves it all by himself. Sure, there are some trading lessons in there, but you'd be better off finding them elsewhere.

This book was written not for your everyday Joe for the lack of a better phrase. Whoever gets to the point of reading this book is definitely looking for an answer and key that can enrich them in all spheres of all life. I mean think about it, someone that has the guts to claim their book holds a valuable secret is no damn idiot as I have seen some people claim. I have followed Gann's writings and not for the purpose of becoming a millionaire or billionaire if you may like but because I knew this man was driving at something so powerful that it's hard to believe even when you think about it but it is the truest thing that there is and that there will ever be. Perhaps to encourage real believers in the word of God, Gann hid a powerful secret in this book and there are not that many secrets as most people that have read this book believe. He didn't encode too many secrets but one and it's so obvious but because man doesn't Trust in a higher power, they indeed write off books like this as nonsensical; I am speaking as one that has reaped in my own ways by following the secret and boy is it a damn good secret. Whoever finds it shall actually cry tears of joy and shall honor God and thank Gann for guiding them. And not to scare anyone, back in my teenage years I always knew there was someone out there who was trying to reveal the most beautiful secret powered by the Holy Bible and the day I got a copy of Tunnel thru the Air, I knew this was it. So, if you find someone that has doubts, that's their business; As the man himself said "Don't mind the busy bodies" and you shall find that which you seek. I am a believer in the Word of God and I respect those that actually know how to interpret the Greatest Book ever given to Man. Proverbs 3:13 "Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding.

Прочетох книгата за две седмици.
Книгата е доста интересна, специално за хора, които се занимават с търговия или работят в бранша. Тъй като работя с финансови инвестиции или финансови пазари, открих, че това е интригуваща книга, с много любопитни неща и исторически данни, които не знаех.
Идеята за предотвратяване на бъдещето чрез религията е нещо ново за мен и въпреки че не съм много религиозен, гo намирам за приемливo, и не за досаднo.
Благодаря на Христо Христов от Варна за този подарък.

Not just read the romance or war story. I gained positive foundation about the influence of astrology in financial market. But to understand the knowledge hidden by Gann, should read this book at least 3 times, Gann said. But even I read this book 3 times I still cant understand without reading other books explained about what its written on this book.

This book is complete nonsense from start to finish. The myth is that W. D. Gann has hidden his secrets to trading in this book. Apparently, the secrets would be unveiled when you read it three times. I know people who have come up with 'trading techniques' based on the page numbers, chapter numbers, number of words on a page, number of times a particular word is mentioned in the book etc. There are people who have tried to connect every single date in the book to the Dow in an attempt to discover the trading secrets. There are a lot of Youtube videos with such nonsensical techniques. Most of what I have learned from/about TTTA is either BS or too random. Some of these techniques may work occasionally, but even a broken clock is correct two times a day.
In Face Facts America (written by W. D. Gann and published after The Tunnel Through The Air), Gann has mentioned that The Tunnel Thru The Air was a prediction about the World War. While Gann mentions speculation in Face Facts America, no mention is made about any market predictions or trading secrets hidden in the Tunnel. I hope this puts to rest any theories about trading secrets that are hidden in this book.
The real secret of Gann was that there was no secret. It was merely false advertising to sell more courses.
In Face Facts America (written by W. D. Gann and published after The Tunnel Through The Air), Gann has mentioned that The Tunnel Thru The Air was a prediction about the World War. While Gann mentions speculation in Face Facts America, no mention is made about any market predictions or trading secrets hidden in the Tunnel. I hope this puts to rest any theories about trading secrets that are hidden in this book.

Treasures revealed by the scriptures
Revelation from unexpected places.
Personal experience is empirical and necessary for growth for us all.
The investment world is tied to Divine resources if one is patient and willing to do the research and reap the benefits by curbing one’s greed and expectations.
