Remote Viewing the Financial Markets - Preview

So there are a few of you who have asked for some guidance on the RVFM process. Unfortunately, I really can't discuss the contents of the LearnRV RVFM DVD; Major Ed Dames and his team has spent too much blood and treasure establishing these processes to be just givin' them away here.

However, I can post some material on the mechanics of the RVFM process. The DVD actually does a decent job of introducing the subject, and a little (or probably a lot) of reading and making use of the on-line market trading tools, especially the market tradnig simulators, can get you most of the way.

I'm an engineer, computer scientist, and mathematician, and so the use of many of these tools is fairly obvious to me, but for others it might not be so clear. What I promised was to post some material here to help those folks along.

Darling Wife and I trade using the TD Ameritrade ThinkOrSwim platform. We originally took market trading training from a company called InvesTools which acquired ThinkOrSwim, which was subsequently acquired by TD (Toronto Dominion) Ameritrade. The ThinkOrSwim, or ToS, platform was built by traders at the Chicago Merchantile Exchange to provide a better, faster, smarter interactive platform for trading derivatives (equities options and futures). The tool supports trading these derivatives as well as trading the equities (aka stocks) and  The tool can be quite intimidating, and there are a variety of materials available on the site.

And the best feature is that you can get started for FREE; sign up for the PaperMoney trading simulator and try your hand without committing a dime to the process. You really don't want to get into the market until you've established a set of trading rules for yourself (see: Turtle Traders) and have had success trading without the emotion attached to your hard-earned money being AT RISK... AND ITS ALL AT RISK!

Here is a screen-shot of the top-level screen in PaperMoney... it looks just like the live money site (borders and such are in different colors to keep one from trading the wrong account).

To get started, sign up and just play with it. You can't break anything (and if you do, post to these guys 'cuz they love to know what on the platform doesn't work...)

To be continued...
