In the 1920s, W.D.Gann developed the Square ‘of Nine as a financial too! for trading and forecasting. The methods for using the ‘Square of Nine were taught by W.0.Gann in his private financial seminars and later in his written trading courses. This book shows every major technique for forecasting using the Square of Nine. In referring to the Square of Nine, W.D.Gann also used the names "Odd Square" and “Master Price and Time Calculator." This book uses only the name Square of Nine. Figure 1 on the next page shows a basic Square of Nine. (On Figure 1, there are two sets of numbers. One set is on the circle around the outside of the square. The second set of numbers is on the face of the square. W.D.Gann placed the outer circle’s 0° mark at the center right and he counted the degrees counter clockwise. The numbers on the face of the square move clockwise. In this chapter, the numbers on the face of the square are explained first and then the degrees around the outside are explained.Page 2 five G Us 1s Square.

For example, on Figure 2, moving from 50 to 81 is ‘one 360° movement. Gann called this movement a square or a cycle. However, these two words have double or triple meanings which make an advanced discussion of the ‘Square of Nine confusing. Therefore, this book uses the word, “rotation” to refer to one 360° movement on the Square of Nine. On Figure 2, the background of each rotation alternates between white and gray. W.D.Gann identified a rotation by the largest number in that rotation. It is the number which always ends the rotation. For: ‘example, the rotation which runs from 82 to 121 is identified as the rotation ending on 121 or the rotation of 121. W.D.Gann made his Square on Nine on graph paper and each number was placed in @ graph square. We refer to a square that contains a single number as a cell. On the ‘Square on Nine below, the number 147 is in cell 147.

A study of W.D.Gann's private work reveals that W.D.Gann made a few Square of Nine charts which rotated counter clockwise. On this page there are two simple Square of Nine illustrations. Figure 3 on the left, shows the numbers rotating clockwise. Figure 4 on the right, shows the numbers rotating ‘counter clockwise. The majority of W.D.Gann's Square of Nine were made to rotate clockwise. I have studied the Square of Nine rotating in both directions and the results are the same, It does not matter which direction is used. This book uses only the clockwise rotation because this is the direction W.D.Gann used most frequently.

These numbers are 9, 25, 49, 81, 121 and so on. The number 9 is the square of 3, (3x3=9). The next numbers are the squares of §, 7, 9, and 11. The squares of odd numbers are always aligned through the lower left comers of each rotation. The squares of odd numbers are the last number in each rotation. After the number 9, the Square of Nine moves outward and starts a new rotation which runs from 10 to 2. After 25, the Square of Nine moves to the next larger rotation and runs from 26 to 49. The Square of Nine gets its name from the fact that the first full rotation is complete on the number 9.

Calculations on the Square of Nine are also based on the number eight (8). Each rotation on the Square of Nine contains eight more numbers than the previous rotation, The first rotation runs from 2 to 9 and has eight numbers. The second rotation has 16 numbers, 8+8=16. The third rotation has 24 numbers, 16+8=24, This is shown below for the first nine rotations on the Square of Nine. Rotation 1 has 8 numbers from 2 to 9 Rotation 2 has 16 numbers ( 8+8=16) from 10 to 25 Rotation 3 has 24 numbers (16+8=24) from 26 to 49 Rotation 4 has 32 numbers (24+8=32) from 50 to 81 Rotation 5 has 40 numbers (32+8=40) from 82 to 121 Rotation 6 has 48 numbers (40+8=48) from 122 to 169 Rotation 7 has 56 numbers (48+8=56) from 170 to 225 Rotation 8 has 64 numbers (56+8=64) from 226 to 289 Rotation 9 has 72 numbers (64+8=72) from 290 to 361 [Steps to calculate the number of celPage 13 Guido to Forecasting Using W.D.Gann's Square ofNine Page 13 Each rotation on the Square of Nine ends on an odd square number. All odd square numbers minus one, divide evenly by 8. For example, 13 x 13 = 169 and 169 - 1 = 168 and 168/ 8 = 21, Again, 97 x 97 = 8409 and 9409 - 1 = 9408 and 9408 / 8 = 1176. Here is an interesting fact about even square numbers. The number four divides all ‘even number squares exactly. For example, 16 is an even number and 16 x 16 = 256 and 256 / 4 = 64. When an even number square is divided by four, the resulting number is always another even square number. To say this another way, one fourth of an even number square is always an even square number. For example, 12x 12 = 144 and 144 / 4 = 36 and 36 is the square of 6. Another example of this is 360 x 360 = 129600 and 129600 / 4 = 32400 and 32400 is the square of 180. To calculate the number of cells across the bottom of a Square of Nine, simply take the square root of the odd square which ends the Square of Nine. For example, on the ‘Square of Nine in Figure 11, the last number on the square is 225. The square root of 225 is 15 and 16 is the number of cells across the bottom of the Square of Nine from 211 to 225. [Steps to calculate the number of cells across the bottom of a Square of Nine ‘are 18 cells across the botiom of the Square of|Page 14 The.

Seen below are the first four rotations of the Square of Nine in column form and in row form. It is easy to see that each column is larger than the previous column by the same amount.

This formula is used to calculate two technical indicators in Chapter 16 and 17. From a starting number on the face of the Square of Nine, it is possible to follow the number progression back to the same location but one rotation inward to the center or one rotation outward. For example, starting on the number 225 and moving inward, one rotation arrives at 169. To move from 225 to 169 mathematically, start with 225. Take the square root ¥" of 225 which is 15. Subtract 2 from 15 which is 13. Finally, square 13 which is 169. On the Square of Nine, each rotation has more numbers than the previous rotation, Due to this fact, most of the movements around the face of the Square of Nine do not result in a whole number. For example, the Square of Nine in Figure 11 shows the number 211 in the lower right comer. It looks like a move of one rotation inward to the center reaches 157. This is not the case. The calculation produces the number 156.89664. Only if you start on an odd square number such as 81, 121, 169 or 225 and move in increments of one-half rotation, are the results a whole number. 3S to Move around on the face of the Square of Nine is as follows. [Step 4) Finally, square the new number. The examples below can be used to develop a solid understanding of this formula. Example 1: Start on 78 and move outward one-half rotation ‘Square Root 78 = 8.8317608 Add 1 = 9.8317608 ‘Square the new number = 96.6352Page 16 The Definitve Guide to Forecasting Using W.0 Gans Square ofNine Page 16 Example 2: Start on 130 and move inward one-eight rotation ‘Square Root ¥ 130 = 11.401754 ‘Subtract 0.25 = 11.151754 ‘Square the new number = 124.36161 Example 3: Start on 201 and move inward three rotations ‘Square Root ~" 201 = 14.177446 Subtract 6 = 8.177446 ‘Square the new number = 6.870623 Example 4: Start on 74 and move outward one and one-eighth rotation ‘Square Root \” 74 = 8.6023252 add 2.25 = 10.852325 ‘Square the new number = 117.77295 When moving by a particular number of rotations from a starting number, calculate the value to add or subtract based on a full rotation equaling 2. Here are two more ‘examples that deal with custom amounts of movement. ‘To move a starting number three- fourths of one rotation, calculate the number to add or subtract by multiplying 3/4 or 0.75 by 2. This yields 1.5. Example 5: Start on 122 and move outward three- fourths of one rotation ‘Square Root V" 122 = 11.045361 add 1.5 = 12.545361 ‘Square the new number = 167.38608 ‘To move one and three-quarters rotations, which is 1.75 rotations, calculate the ‘Bumber to add or subtract by multiplying 1.75 by 2. This yields 3.5 (1.75 * 2) . Example 6; Start on 193 and move inward one and three-quarters rotations ‘Square Root y" 193 = 13.892443 Bubtract 3.5 = 10.392443 Square the new number = 108.0028Poge 17 Using WD. re.

This means the dates are not evenly divided around the square. From the Spring Equinox to the ‘Summer Solstice there are 92 days. From the Summer Solstice to the Autumnal Equinox there are 93 days. From the Autumnal Equinox to the Winter Solstice there are 90 days. From the Winter Solstice back to the Spring Equinox there are 90 days except in a leap year. This equals 365 days, (92+93+90+90). When W.D.Gann used the 24 hours of a day, he assigned 6:00 a.m. to the 0° - 360° mark. The earth rotates 1° every four minutes so the 24 hours are divided evenly into 360 four minute increments around the circle. The list below shows all 360° and the corresponding date and time. The signs of the zodiac and the compass directions are also added to the fist. 0° March21, 6:00am, Spring Equinox, East, Aries T 1° March 22, 6:04 a.m, 2° March 23, 7 3° March 24, 4° March 25, 5° March 26, eo March 27, 7° March 28, a March 29, 9° March 30, 10° March 31, 11° April 4, 12° April2, 43° Aprils, 14° April4, 16° April 5, 16° April 6, 17° April 7, 18° April8, 19° Aprilg, 20° April 10, 21° April 14,228 22.5° 23° 24° 25° 26° 2 28° 29° 30° ate 32° 33° 34° 35° 36° 37° 38° 39° ate 42° age 44° 45° 46° 47 48° 49° 51° 82° 53° 54° 85° 56° 57° 58° 59° 60° i 62° 63° Page 18 April 12, April 13, April 14, April 15, April 16, April 17, April 18, April 19, Aptil 20, April 21, April 22, April 23, April 24, April 25, April 26, April 27, April 28, April 29, April 30, May 1, May 2, May 3, May 4, May 5, May 6, May 7, May 8, May 9, May 10, May 11, May 12, May 13, May 14, May 15, May 16, May 17, May 18, May 19, May 20, May 21, May 22, May 23, May 24, Taurus & North EastPage 19 64° May 25, 85° May 26, 66° May 27, 67° May 28, 67.5° May 29, 68° May 30, 69° May31, 70° June 1, 71° June2, June 3, June 4, June 5, June 6, June 7, June 8, June 9, June 10, June 11, June 12, June 13, June 14, dune 15, June 16, June 47, June 18, June 19, June 20, June 21, June 22, June 23, June 24, June 25, June 26, June 27, 97° June 28, 98° June 29, 99° June 30, 100° July 1, 101° July2, 101.5° July 3, 102° July 4, 103° July 5, 104° July6, 10:16 am. 10:20 am. 10:24am. 10:28am. 10:30 am. 10:32 am. 10:36 a.m. 10:40. a.m. 10:44 am. 10:48 am. 10:52am. 10:56 a.m. 11:00 am, 11:04 a.m. 11:08 a.m. 1112am. 11:16 ar 11:20 am. 11:24 a.m, 11:28 am, 11:32 am. 11:36 a.m. 11:40 am. 11:44 a.m. 11:52 am. 11:56 am. 12:00 Noon, 12:04 p.m, 12:08 pm. 12:12pm. 42:16 pm, 12:20 p.m. 12:24 p.m. 12:28 pm. 12:32 p.m. 12:36 p.m, 42:40 pm. 12:44pm. 12:46 p.m. 12:48 pm. 12:52 p.m. 12:56 pm. ‘Summer Solstice, North, ‘The Definitve Guide to Forecasting Using W.0,Gann's Square ofNine Page 19 Cancer $5Page 20 fi Fe wD. it Page 20 105° July7, 1:00 p.m. 106° July 8, 1:04 p.m. 107° July 9, 4:08 p.m. 108° July 10, 4:12 p.m. 409° July 14, 4:16 p.m. 110° July 12, 4:20 p.m. 111° July 13, 1:24 p.m. 112° July 14, 4:28 p.m. 112.5° July 15, 1:30 p.m. 113° July 16, 1:32;p.m. 114° July 17, 1:36 p.m. 115° July 78, 4:40 p.m. 116° July 19, 1:44 p.m. 117° July 20, 1:48 p.m. 118° July 21, 4:52 p.m. 119° July 22, 1:56 p.m 120° July 23, 2:00 p.m., Leo ® 421° July 24, 2:04 p.m. 122° July25, 2:08 p.m. 123° duly 26, 212 pm. 424° duly27, 2:16 pm. 425° July 28, 2:20 p.m. 126° July 29, 2:24 p.m. 427° July 30, 2:28 pm. 128° July 31, 2:32 p.m. 129° August 1, 2:36 p.m. 130° August 2, 2:40 p.m. 131° August 3, 2:44 p.m. 132° August 4, 2:48 p.m. 193° August 5, 2:52 p.m. 134° August 6, 2:56 p.m. 196° August 7, 3:00 p.m. North West 196° August 8, 3:04 pm. 137° August 9, 3:08 p.m. 198° August 10, 3:12pm. 139° August 14, 3:16 p.m. 140° August 12, 3:20pm. 141° August 13, 3:24 pm. 142° August 14, 3:28 p.m. 143° August 15, 3:32 p.m. 144° August 16, 3:36 pm. 145° August 17, 3:40 p.m. 146° August 18, 3:44 p.m.147° 148° 149° 150° 151° 152° 153° 154° 155° 156° 467° 187.5° 158° 459° 160° 161° 162° 163° 164° 165° 166° 167° 168° 169° 170° 171° 172° 173° 174° 175° 176° 417° 178° 179° 180° 181° 182° 183° 184° 185° 186° 187° 188° Autumnal Equinox, West, Libra =.189° 190° 191° 192° 193° 194° 195° 196° 197° 198° 199° 200° 201° 202° 203° 204° 205° 206° 207° 208° 209° 210° ante 2iz° 213° 214° 215° 216° 27° 218° 219° 220° 221° 222° 223° 228° 225° 226° 227° 228° 229° 230° 231° Page 22 ‘The Dafntive Guide a Fomcasting Using W.D.Gonr's Square ofNine Page 22 ‘October 1, ‘October 2, ‘October 3, ‘October 4, October 6, October 7, October 8, October 9, October 10, October 11, October 12, October 13, October 14, October 15, October 16, October 17, October 18, October 19, October 21, October 22, October 23, October 24, October 25, October 26, October 27, October 28, October 29, October 30, October 31, November 1, November 2, November 3, November 4, November 5, November 6, November 7, November 8, November 9, November 10, November 11, November 12, 6:36 p.m. 6:40 p.m. 6:44 p.m. 6:48 p.m. 652 p.m. 6:56 p.m. 7:00 p.m. 7:04 p.m. 7.08 p.m. 7:12 p.m. 7:16 pm. 7:20pm. 7:24pm. 7:28 p.m. 7:32 p.m. 7:36 p.m. 7:40 p.m. 7:44 p.m. 7:48 pm. 7:52 p.m. 7:56 p.m. 8:00 p.m., 8:04 p.m. 8:08 pm.

These lines are used with several Square of Nine forecasting methods. W.D.Gann identified these lines as angles. They were designated by the degree they touched on the outer circle. For example, Figure 12 has a fine drawn from the center of the square to the 70° mark on the outer circle. This line is identified as the 70° angle. There is another line drawn from the center to the 200° mark. This line is the 200° angle. This is not the traditional geometric definition of an angle but is how W.D.Gann identified these lines so we are using his terminology.

These are named: angle overlays and shape overlays. The line diagram in Figure 15 shows the angles from the cardinal cross and diagonal cross. These are fixed angles on the Square of Nine but itis possible to draw these angles on clear plastic to make overlays. The Plastic overlay is placed on the Square of Nine and rotated over the Square of Nine. The cardinal cross and diagonal cross identify the numbers on the face of the Square of Nine which are 45° apart. By rotating the overlay, itis possible to see the numbers on the face of the Square of Nine which are 45° apart but from different starting points, ‘The overlay becomes a movable cardinal cross and diagonal cross. The overfay’s 0° angle is always drawn with a heavier line than the other angles. A line ‘on the angle overlay is identified by the number of degrees itis from the 0° angle. For ‘example the line directly opposite the 0° angle is called the overlay's 180° angle. The two lines which are 45° away from the 0° angle are named the overlay’s 45° angle and 315° angle. The two lines which are 90° away from the 0° angle are named the coverlay’s 90° angle and 270° angle.Page 29 ‘The Defintive Guide to Forecasting Using W.O.Ganr's Scuare of Ning Page 29, The overlay with angles every 45° was not the only overlay W.D.Gann used.

Geometric shapes are the basis for W.D.Gann's second type of overlays. The two shapes he used are the square and triangle. On the Square of Nine in Figure 18, there is a triangle overlay. There are two sets of lines on each shape overlay. The first set of lines forms the shape and are heavy, dark lines. The second set of lines are inside the shape and are drawn from the comer of the shape to the center of the Square of Nine.

The first method Is to align the overlay’s 0° angle with one of the degree marks on the outer circle of the ‘Square of Nine. On Figure 20, the overlay is rotated so the overtay’s 0° angle is, aligned on the Square of Nine’s outer circle 212° mark. This allows the numbers on the face of the Square of Nine to be seen in 45° increments starting from the 212° mark. For example, the overlay’s 0° angle crosses over celts 123, 83, 51-60 and 26. The overlay's 90° angle crosses over cells 159, 113, 75-74, 44 and 22. The overlay’s 315° angle crosses over cells 128, 87, 64, 29, and 11-12. This is what is meant by the overiay being a movable cardinal cross and diagonal cross. 1 5 ro" 18 1 12 * t TPAaTEREETT vv TT Tr ea TTT “Copyright © 2008 by Pabick Mica All Rights Reverved wer MbulaFerocacting com rade aoe |S fr far eavcd cy Ga ad F ‘ le cali 5 izes |= BS PP er ° 4 fee Br [a 288 isi popes rhe a fe r - 360 4 a [Po mfr 45 pasaaTagaa Ewe 340 a i pa 336 reat rae a4 "330 5 5 S10Page 34 The Definitve Guide to Forecasting Using W/D.Gonr's Square of Nine Page 34 ‘The second method for aligning an overlay on the Square of Nine is to place the overlay’s 0° angle on top of a cell. On Figure 21, there is an overlay which shows the two angles which are 144° away from the 0° angle. This overlay is aligned so the overtay's 0° angle crosses over cell 154. In this situation itis said that the overlay is aligned to cell 154.

With the first method, one of the shape’s comers is aligned to a degree mark on the outer circle of the Square of Nine.

To correctly align an overlay to a number such as 37.25 on the Square of Nine, an understanding of how the numbers fit into each cell is required. Figure 23, ‘shows only the upper right section of a Square of Nine. The heavy line is a 45° angle drawn from the center of the Square of Nine in cell 1 to the upper right comer of the ‘square. The 45° angle crosses the center of each cell through which it passes. If lines are drawn along each of the cardinal cross and diagonal cross angles, the lines also bisect each cell through which they pass. (On Figure 23, there are dots marking the prices at increments of 0.25. The prices are also marked with hash marks. A whole number, such as 36, is in the center of cell 35. Awhole number, such as 36, is in the center of cell 36. As you move from 35 to 36 the ‘number 35.50 is on the dividing line between cell 35 and cell 36. A difficult part of properly aligning an overlay to a cell, is aligning numbers which have a decimal greater than .5 because these fractions cross into the next cell. For example the price 34.75 'is in cell 35, and 35,75 is in cell 36 and so on. If you want fo align an overlay to the price 39.75, the overlay would actually be on the top portion of cell 40. cot | cons | conse i eS 28 Pak MATT Ros Figure 23Page 37 The Delve Guide to Forecasting Using W.D Gann's SquarecfNne Page 37 Figure 24 shows the same section of a Square of Nine seen in Figure 23.

Each individual trade is named a tick. Through the course of one day, there may be as few as several hundred ticks in a thinly traded market or many thousands of ticks in a heavily traded market. When making a chart of stock prices, the ticks are grouped into bars. A bar consists of the opening price, high price, low price and closing price. The left tick mark is the opening price. The top of the bar is the high price. The bottom of the bar is the low price and the right tick mark is the closing price. Figure 25 shows a price bar.

Here is an intraday example of using the Square of Nine to count time increments into the future, When using intraday charts, there are three ways to count time increments. ‘The count can be based on 24 hour time, the amount of time the market is open, or trading bars. ‘When making a count based on the full 24 hours in a day, the bar chart increments are divided by the total minutes in a day to find the number of time increments. This example uses a 15 minute bar chart and there are 1440 minutes in a day so there are 96 (1440/15), 18 minute increments in one day. Using a 15 minute bar chart, the count advances 96 cells on the Square of Nine each day. When counting time increments using the full 24 hours, the count includes the weekends. ‘The second type of time count on the Square of Nine, is to count only the time when the market is open. This is called trading session time. For example, if'a market is ‘open from 9:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., this is 330 minutes. Using a 15 minute bar chart, this equals 22 (330/15) time increments each trading day. In this case the count advances 22 cells on the Square of Nine each trading day. ‘The third way to count time on the Square of Nine, is to count only the time intervals when trading has occurred. On intraday bar charts there may be a bar intervat when no trading occurred and this interval is not counted.Poge 75 The Defntive Guide to Forecastina Using W.D Ganris Squere ofNine Page 75 The strategy for using the time counting technique in this chapter on intraday charts is, very different from the strategy used on the weekly and daily charts in the previous twa examples. This example uses a 15 minute bar chart of Honeywell stock, HON. The starting time for the time counts is from the high pivot on May 15, 2003, 15:30 p.m. The time increment per cell on the Square of Nine is 15 minutes because a 18 minute bar charts used. ‘The chart in Figure 56 shows the time counts based on 24 hour time and trading ‘session time. Figure 56 shows all the time count values from all the diagonal cross. and cardinal cross angles. When using intraday charts, the two time counts are watched for harmonization. When the 24 hour time count and trading session time count both have a value on the same bar, that bar is watched for a pivat. There are five ‘examples of this on Figure 56. They are identified with an arrow connecting the time count and the corresponding price bar. For example on Figure 56, the 24 hour count lists a value of 553 and the trading session count lists a value of 81. These two values ‘occur at the same time and the two counts harmonize, At this juncture, a bottom forms in the market. 5 PE EAT Square Stat Time wowtlsensting con 5. 18:90 (3:30pm) 25.25 ‘May/15(2003 381 463 474 553 24 Hour Count 24.95 Session Count 434649 $3 57 61 65 69 73 77.81 86 91] 24.25 737781 86 91 9861 23.95 ‘sur 2325 193.9192252891343740_15MnBar Chart TeMay May BoMay —PitiayPage 76 ‘The Definitive Guide to Forecasting Using W.D Ganr's Square ofhine Page 78 Figure 57 is a continuation of the chart in Figure 56.

The harmonization of the two time counts is used as a forecast for pivots. ‘Stop 4 For Daily or Weekly Charts: The fourth step is to use the count found in step 3 and mark the count's future dates on the chart. These future dates are pivot forecast dates.Page 81 The Definitive Guide fo Forecasting Using WD.Ganr‘s Square ofNing Page 81 CHAPTER 5: Forecasting Dates: Using Overlays and Two Historical Pivot Dates This chapter shows how to forecast pivot dates using overlays and two historical starting pivot dates 1. i in Contr ‘There are two historical dates required for this forecasting method. The first starting date must be the earlier. It is used as the starting date on the Square of Nine. Figure 61 shows a continuous contract of May Soybean futures. The significant low pivot date April 24, 2001 on Figure 61 is used as the first starting date. ‘The second starting date is used to align the overlay’s 0° angle. On Figure 61, the top pivot from July 7, 2001 is used for the second starting date. ‘The Square of Nine is setup so it advances the first starting date outward from the center. The 0° angle on the overlay is then aligned on the cell which holds the second start date. The dates which fall on the overiay's angles are then watched for future pivot dates. |535.00 [Overlay’s O° Angle Aligned |-——>] [on Julyf7/2001 Top ft p20] gerymnnnnonmme — | HLA ah comm , 466.00 is i 443.00 ha ft Figure 61 42Square of Nine Start = Date Aprivzar2001 p01 fay.

Figure 62 shows a progression based on trading days. The first starting date is April 24, 2001 and this date is written below the Square of Nine. Each cell on the Square of Nine advances one trading day. The overlay's 0° angle is aligned on the second starting date July 7, 2001, which is in cell 60. Previously in this book, it was stressed that markets tend to favor certain angles on the Square of Nine. On Figure 62 there are cells circled on the 45° angle and the 120° angle. These circled dates represent pivot dates in the Soybean market and are shown on the chart in Figure 64 and 65.Page 83 The Defiitive Guido to Forecasting Using W.0.Gann's Square ofNine Page &3 Figure 63 shows the second Square of Nine for this example. The starting date, April 24, 2001 is written below the Square of Nine. The progression is 1 calender day. The overlay’s 0° angle is again aligned on the pivot date July 7, 2001, which now is in cell 84. Notice that there are a lot of circles on the 120° angle and the 45° angle. These are all pivot dates. For both the trading day progression and the calender day progression, the Soybean market favors the overiay's 45° angle and the overlay's 120° angle. These pivot dates are shown in Figure 64 and Figure 65. Fae oe Ei SEE pp pypapeepaeE eee foe EEE ee eek Fara Pee Fob ra| re PEReyEPEEree Pee Ee REE PEe CE ee ee ca esas Soe i rea Pere!
