Summary:  (from the Introduction) During the past quarter century of stock market research, this office has continuously studied methods of analysis by which Price Trends could be projected in advance. Such efforts have for the most part fallen into the categories of Time, Price and Volume. This particular study shows how the rise and fall of stock market trends conform to a rhythmic series of Price Patterns. The following charts and pages disclose the conclusions to which we came in regard to our measurements under The Wave Theory, and depict the manner in which the market has responded to our calculations.

S/D 3 Formula 3-81 Trading System (1940s – 1964) by Henry Wheeler Chase

S/D 3 Formula 3-81 Trading System (1940s – 1964) by Henry Wheeler Chase

Alanpuri Trading, Los Angeles, CA, 2022, Hardcover, Reprint, 60 pp., An exact facsimile of this original course material and update bulletins privately published by Henry Wheeler Chase sometime between the mid 1940s and early 1960s.  The last update bulletin included in this title is dated December 1963. There are 130 numbered instructions, about 25 pages long, that make up the bulk of the system. Additionally there are 12 pages of “codes” to decipher in order to correctly execute the system. This edition also includes 6 different update bulletins totaling 16 pages. Extremely Scarce Content.

Contents: The S/D 3 Formula 3-81 (Tr. Mk. Reg. U.S. Pat. Off.), The Weekly S/D 3 Record, Preparation of the Weekly S/D 3-81 Record, SECTION 1, Factor One, Factor Two, Factor Three, Factor Four, Factor Five, SECTON 2, Factor Six, Factor Seven, CODE CP Factors 4 and 5 Revised 1963, Examples, CODE CK (re-issued 1964), FACTOR EIGHT, IMPORTANT (Z) POSITION, Measuring Periods, Position Diagrams, RED Position Diagram, BLUE Position Diagram, RELATIVE POSITION KEYS, COMBINATION KEYS, Factor Eight Answer, FACTOR 9, S/D 3-81 ACTION SIGNALS, EXECUTIONS, SUGGESTIONS, CODE PD Position Diagrams for RED and BLUE,  CODE PK, CODE PK -0- RED, CODE PK -1- RED, CODE PK -2- RED, CODE PK -3- RED, CODE PK -4- RED, CODE PK -5- BLUE Z, CODE PK -6- BLUE Z, CODE PK -7- BLUE Z, CODE PK -8- BLUE Z, CODE PK -9- BLUE Z, Bulletin #4 BY-PASSING 1957, CODE PK – Bulletin #1 Revised May 1962 (11 pp.), PROTECTIVE STOP BULLETIN #3 Special BUY-STOP (weekly record) June 22, 1962, PROTECTIVE STOP BULLETIN #4 Special SELL-STOP (weekly record) June 22, 1962, PROTECTIVE STOP BULLETIN #5 Arbitrary BS and SS (no date), USE OF THE S/D 3-31 TRADING CONTROL (no date), 3-36 Trading Control Blank Worksheet, Formula S/D 3-81 Computation Blank Worksheet, Instructions, CODE CC-E / CODE VP (SD Formulae), CODE VP December 1963 — end.

Summary: Because Chase never published his work publicly, it is near impossible to find any of his writings although his name is widely know in the trading community. This is the first time this title has been published to the public.  It’s extremely rare and multilayered trading system written and updated over the course of many years.  We are uncertain if this particular S/D 3 Formula 3-81 system is complete or if there were other update bulletins that we simply don’t have. We’ve done our best to piece it all together.  While we can’t imagine anyone using a system like this off-the-shelf, for students of the markets and bored quants this might be a very fun puzzle to play with.
