COMPRISED of 7 Phases:

• PHASE 1 - Trading Concepts and Pyschology.      
•  Do I fit? If not, am I willing to change? or lose?
• PHASE 2 - The Trading Markets.
• Their relationships, variances, how, why and when? What are their cycles? Which are good for me? Which are bad for me? When should I                     move from one to the other? 
• PHASE 3 - The Markets, dissected.
• What are investment requirements? How risky is it relative to others? How frequently do I need to 'plan' and work my plan? What timeframes   (day,    time of day, months, etc.) do I need to be active? How will I test a plan, when I make one? How will I know if this market no longer works for me? Who are the brokers? the regulators? What are the exchanges? fees? etc.? Do I fit? If not, am I willing to change? or lose? PICK ONE(or more) and MAP their relationship to YOU and YOUR needs!
• PHASE 4 - STRATEGIES
• Which ones apply to which markets? Learn the ones for your choice, in depth! Learn, know, live, breathe and anticipate what they mean, how to spot them, when to listen and when to ignore them. Which are leading and which are confirming? How many of each do I want and for what purpose?
• PHASE 5 - PLATFORMS (if I am using Technical Analysis) Which ones process and support the markets I choose? What are their variances, costs, benefits, drawbacks, security and support issues, etc? Which one shall I use? (Take a test drive on CIN-D, with the dual-screen monitors and loaded with numerous full platforms for your review and consideration.) See how you like the feel and support. Talk to other members. REMEMBER: It's the DATA that really matters! With the data you want, all platforms can calculate a MACD, ATR, BOP, etc....with the proper coder. At CIN-SoCal (and later in the TLC) we'll guide you to those coders for the strategies you want on YOUR platform, if they're not there!!! Plus we'll have a library of reference material to help you!
• PHASE 6 - CUSTOMIZATIONS PLAN YOUR TRADE and TRADE YOUR PLANS! Here's where all of the discipline, backtesting to determine optimal exit strategies, money and portfolio management come to play! Here is where finding the right brokers, using the right order types, knowing the rules for order fillment and sizing all come together. THIS is where the money is MADE...or NOT!!!
• PHASE 7 - Accessories   workstations/ Accounting & Taxes/ etc..  

As we proceed, all products, services, providers, etc. will be placed into appropriate categories, reviews provided, etc. Contributors welcomed...
