From about 1994 to 1996, I spent my time developing technical trading systems applied to financial derivatives markets (that's a fancy way of saying that I bet if the market is going up or down). And that's where the whole notion of psi started occurring to me. After two intense years of developing these highly technical expert computer systems designed to predict the behavior of the market I had started to realize that just perhaps it couldn't be done. I had been through everything from overly complicated self learning neural networks, to rule based, back-tested, history optimized trading systems and I had learned that nothing really works, and if it ever did, it would soon stop working.
Was the walk of the markets really random? If so, how could some beat the market with such consistency, yet the majority fail to even match the performance of a random dart throw. It just didn't make sense. There was something amiss with the statistic that ever trader knows all to well - 95% of all futures traders lose money and the remaining 5% win everything that the 95% lose. If the markets are truly random, then you would have just as many winners as losers right? I mean the chance of guessing market direction correctly is the same as the chance of guessing it incorrectly. So if that was the case, how could so many traders manage to beat the odds by such a statistically significant amount by consistently guessing wrong? And how did the elite 5% manage to win everything?
There was something else that was bothering me. Why was it that some days when I returned to my office after lunch and looked at my price screen, was I able to imagine the exact price seconds before I looked at the screen? It happened often enough that I had a sense that it couldn't be chance. At times I could imagine the exact decimals - that was just weird.
One day, just for fun - and possibly out of a bit of frustration, I decided to start trading the S&P (the general stock market) without any systems or indicators - using only my intuition. I committed myself to trading everyday for a two month period using no trading tools other than my gut instincts. It worked out VERY well. But why? What logical, technical system was my brain using that I couldn't synthesize and systemize in my computer? Well, that's what started my research into intuition - also known as psi, anomalous cognition, ESP, precognition, remote viewing, etc.
In 1997 I started this web site and kicked off my grand research project of using intuition (psi) to predict the outcome of random future events like the financial markets. The purpose of remote-viewing.com is to:
1. Share my research findings to promote the understanding of intuition (psi).
2. Educate those who are interested in learning more about intuition (psi)
3. Teach those who are interested how to utilize their own intuition (psi)
4. Act as proof to the world that the phenomenon exists by demonstrating that random events such as the activity of the financial markets can be predicted with a greater than chance probability by using ONLY intuition (psi).
