The 400-share lot transactions were begun on June 4. 1931, and were completed on December 28, 1932. This showed a net profit of $90,570 after deduction of $5,121 for commissions and taxes.
Covering the period from April 1st to July 31st, 1933, you made a total of 344 trades in stocks, cotton, rubber and grain. 310 of these trades showed profits and 34 showed losses. Your percentage of accuracy was 89% on the total number of trades. The capital with which you operated was increased 26 ½ times. On each $1,000 capital with which you started, you made a profit of $26,500.00 net. This was after paying all taxes, interest and commissions and deductions of all losses.

I have examined the broker’s statements and trades made by W.D. Gann during the month of April, 1933.
Cotton Account $8,136.29 Rubber Account $1,387.01 Grain Account $758.30 $10,281.60 During that time there was only one loss of $39.25, and the above profits are net after payment of broker’s commissions. There were other trades in cotton, rubber and stocks at the end of the month that had not been closed out, which showed profits. When the trading on the above account was started, the greatest risk taken was $800, or in other words, if the stop loss orders had been caught, the loss would have been $800.
