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.

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.

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.

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.
