The International Skool of Forecasting.
The International Skool of Forecasting teaches market timing, long-range economic cycle analysis, and weather timing. Learn how to map market turning points weeks and months before they happen using objective historical cycle models.
Jonathan Evans has published a dated forecast on record every year since 2018. He named the 2020 COVID crash bottom, predicted the 2023 recovery, and flagged key market turning dates with proven accuracy. Our courses teach the exact methods behind these calls.
The Record
Every forecast below was published before the period it covers. Read them against what happened. Judge it for yourself.
A market low, named before the crash.
The February 2020 forecast named a mid-March low before the COVID crash. The market bottomed on March 23.

An early-2023 recovery was called against the consensus. The S&P 500 went on to new highs.

A 120-year cycle lookback put systemic aviation failure on the 2024 forecast — twelve months before the Boeing crisis defined the year.

01 · PROPRIETARY MECHANISMS & INSTITUTIONAL TIME-CYCLES
A century of cycle forecasting sits inside rare historical texts written by master researchers who mapped market trends before computers existed. Calling a market low before a crash happens is not luck. It comes from measuring time with fixed, repeating cycles.
Inside Our Proprietary Framework You Will Discover:
- ✦ The Sovereign Liquidity Clock™: The 18.6-year macro wave that dictates major credit expansions and liquidity panics since 1792.
- ✦ The Solar Calibration Pulse™: How to pinpoint the exact 3-day calendar window where smart money shifts from distribution to accumulation.
- ✦ The Wall Street Lunar Anomaly™: The 1937 McWhirter index rhythm that isolates monthly sentiment tops and bottoms before chart breakouts occur.
- ✦ The Master Calibrated Anchor™: The crucial recalibration step Gann used to correct timing drift and lock in structural pivot dates.
Panics, market peaks, wars, and weather follow the same cycle lengths, decade after decade. Our method finds those cycle lengths, lines them up, and identifies where they overlap. The tools use planetary cycles — McWhirter tied business activity to the lunar cycle, and Bayer timed commodities by planetary motion. The core test of any method is its record. We published a 2024 forecast naming aviation disruptions a year before the Boeing crisis, and we called the COVID market bottom in advance. Those specific, dated forecasts set this research apart.
It does not forecast everything, and it is honest about where the intervals stop. The full record — hits and misses both — is open. Decide on the evidence, not theories.
The Tradition
The researchers who developed these methods spent their lives testing them. Much of their original work was left unexplained, leaving their books open to debate for generations.
-
W.D. Gann
1878 – 1955 The originatorTraded on the idea that price and time are the same measurement seen from two angles — and left behind a geometry of the market that traders still argue over a century later.
-
Louise McWhirter
fl. 1930s – 1940s Specialist · the indexTied the rise and fall of business activity to a lunar cycle of just under nineteen years, and published a calendar for reading it — one of the few methods written plainly enough to test.
-
George Bayer
1894 – 1957 Specialist · commoditiesTimed wheat and the grain markets by the precise motion of the planets, in work so dense and guarded that most who own his books have never finished one.
-
Sepharial
1864 – 1929 Context · world eventsRead wars, weather, and major national events through long planetary cycles and historical charts — bridging market timing with world event analysis.
-
Samuel Benner
1832 – 1913 Context · the long waveA ruined Ohio farmer who, in 1875, charted the iron and corn price cycle decades ahead. The pattern he drew is still visible in modern markets.
“I spent years reading the original texts so you don’t have to spend years getting lost in them. Every year since 2018 I have published a dated forecast to test what I learned. The courses are the path I built from that.”
Read Jonathan’s storyWhere to Begin
Reading a plate like the one above is a skill, and it is taught in order. Most students take the same route — ground themselves in the free reading, set the foundation, then specialise.
-
Step I
Read the free library
Start here — the essays are free and cover the method honestly, including where it fails.
-
Step II
Set the foundation
The Financial Time Table teaches the long market cycle first — the sixteen-to-eighteen-year rhythm that governs every shorter move. Everything else is read against it. See the foundation course.
-
Step III
Specialise — or take the whole method
From there the specialist courses open up McWhirter's index method, timing by solar degrees, world-event forecasting, and Gann's master annual methodology. Or take The Market Forecaster — every course, plus a year of live forecasts written alongside yours.
The Library
Read before you spend anything.
All essaysThese essays are free. They cover what the method can and cannot do, and they are written in the same voice as the courses. If Jonathan Evans’s thinking is not for you, you will know before you spend a cent.

Then specialise, one method at a time
From the foundation, the specialist courses open the method up — McWhirter’s lunar index, timing by solar degrees, world-event forecasting, several cycles read at once, and Gann’s full annual methodology. Each stands on its own.
