The Lost Science: Esoteric Math and Astrology Techniques for the Market Trader

The Lost Science: Esoteric Math and Astrology Techniques for the Market Trader by M. G. Bucholtz explores an unconventional framework for understanding financial markets—one grounded in mathematical patterns and celestial cycles rather than traditional economic theory. Drawing from disciplines such as astronomy, geometry, and ancient mathematical principles, the book argues that market movements are deeply connected to human emotion, which in turn is influenced by cosmic forces.

The author, a former investment advisor, challenges the dominant “buy and hold” philosophy and instead presents a systematic approach to anticipating market turning points. Through detailed explanations of concepts like the Golden Mean, planetary transits, lunar cycles, and Gann techniques, the book positions these phenomena as part of a coherent “lost science” that can enhance trading precision and timing.

What makes this work distinctive is its integration of historical scientific thought—from Fibonacci and Kepler to Newton—with practical trading applications. It is not merely theoretical; it provides structured methods, numerical examples, and chart-based analysis to demonstrate how these esoteric tools can align with real market behavior.
