What's inside
Lots of good stuff. Go take a look. For example, you can see a rough transcript of recent conversations in the chat room here.
The Archive contains every Daily Trading Plan, and every Review of the outcomes from each Plan going back to 2005. The summaries are spreadsheets that allow you to slice and dice the data any way you wish.
The link under our banner explains how those results are calculated.
On the inside you'll also find learning resources, articles on trading and the psychology of trading, discussions of trading methods, seminars explaining Nat's basic trading methods, a quick-start guide to help you get started, and lots more.

About Nat's service
Nat expects every member who works diligently and treats trading as a business to become profitable. That seems obvious, but relatively few individuals can trade the futures markets successfully and fewer still can do it without help. Nat's guidance and support can make the difference between success and failure.
Nobody can promise that you will float when others fail; but a very high proportion of Nat's long-term members take money out of the markets every day. And the longer they are in the room, the more successful they become. It's not fast money; but it's pretty good money.
What's included
- access to the private chat room, where voice and written calls are given throughout the trading day, and where you can see Nat's trading charts and trading screen, updated in real time during market hours;
- the daily trading plan, a roadmap to expected market activity, available before the market opens;
- access to a community of experienced traders who can help you learn the skills and develop the judgment that will allow you to trade profitably for the rst of your life;
- and special seminars for members and guests where Nat discusses details of her trading methods, and outside experts present invaluable information that improves your chances for success.
How does it work
Nat makes three types of calls:
- scalping calls, typically four to 10 each day, that capture very short-term trading opportunities;
- intra-day position calls, or short-term swing trades which are held somewhat longer;
- method calls, based on chart patterns that develop during the day which her experience identifies as high-probability, low-risk opportunities.
Here's a chart that shows how the scalping calls worked out on one summer day. (You can see the trading plan and the review of her calls for that day in the Archive).
No positions are held overnight.
She also issues warnings to help traders recognize false signals and avoid bad trades. Nat is a conservative discretionary trader; she believes keeping members out of bad trades is at least as important as getting them into good ones.
In 2007 about 81% of her scalping calls would have resulted in winning trades. In 2007 the average winner was 3.41 points; the average loser was 1.56 points.
Her intra-day position calls are posted before the market opens each day, and may be modified as price action develops. In a typical week, two to six of those position calls would have resulted in trades.
In 2007, there were 198 position calls, and 67.5% would have been winners. The average winner was 8.05 points; the average loser was 2.26 points.
In addition, each day Nat posts method calls based on specific trading techniques she has developed over her years in the markets.
In 2007 she made 202 method calls: 77.2% would have been winners, and the average winner was 6.20 points; the average loser was 2.40 points.

Risks and rewards
Experienced traders know that the potential profits from successful trading are quite literally unlimited. If you have mastered the craft, there is no limit to the amount you can take from the market.
You have to be equally clear about the risks.
Only a small percentage of participants have the time, money or skill to trade futures markets successfully. Nat's members have a big advantage over the large majority of traders, and she expects every member who follows her methods conscientiously to be profitable. The potential rewards are high, but this is speculation, not investment, and there is a risk you will lose all the money you are using to trade.
To be clear about the risks involved in trading and the nature of the material on this site, be sure to read this disclaimer.
One last thing: The material on this site is educational. It is intended to help you understand how the markets work, and help you to profit from that knowledge. But you use it at your own risk.
