Gann Grid

William Delbert Gunn, best known worldwide as W. D. Gann, is a legend in the world of stock trading. He was one of the most successful, ever lived, stock traders. W. D. Gann was born 6 June 1878 on a farm about seven miles from Lufkin, in texas. He was the first of 11 children of Sam Huston Gunn and Susan Gunn. The Gunn family lived in a very small house without any frills. They were poor and young Willie walked seven miles to Lufkin for three years, to attend school. His father was a farmer in Angelina Country.. They were all worried about the price, which their cotton will bring. If you asked young Willie, did he want, when you get older, also cultivate the soil in East Texas, then he, probably, would say “No”, he didn't think so – he wanted to be a businessman. But work, which he could do on the farm, was more important to the family, so William never finished elementary or high school. Like the eldest son, he had a special responsibility, and those years of work on the farm, maybe, laid the foundation for his hard work habits.
