Tom has spent many years refining the signals in his flagship product, VSA (The forerunner to TradeGuider). Apart from his own expertise, the company also relies heavily on customer feedback to enhance and develop its products. Tom is the author of  the book "Master the Markets" that reveals how "Smart Money" influences the markets.  Tom's principles are heavily based on the teachings of renowned trader Richard D. Wyckoff. Imagine you could know in advance which way the market was going to move.  You'd know in advance what the next significant market move was going to be. With this knowledge you'd be able to predict the ups and downs and profit accordingly. It's every trader's dream ...  The ability to buy at the bottom of the market and sell at the top.   Would you use it? Of course you would!
