What this is
Every market night after the close, I publish one real trade idea from my own trading book. The ticker, the entry, the stop, and the tested record of the system it came from. It costs nothing, ever, and there are 252 of them a year.
Who I am
Michael Nauss, CMT, CAIA, CDMS. Eighteen years across hedge funds, prop desks and fintech. Regular market analysis on TraderTV and CNBC. I trade the book I publish, with my own money.
What paid members get
The whole book. Eleven tested systems in one account, rebuilt after every close. Every card, every entry and stop, the broker-ready order basket, real-time alerts when a trigger, stop or exit fires, the model portfolio, and the trade log with the losers printed the same size as the winners. Five minutes a night.
The record
Twenty-six years of backtesting, January 2001 to August 2026, on data that still contains the companies that went to zero. 30.77% a year, maximum drawdown 14.92%, all 26 years profitable, worst year +8.57%, three of every four months green. Commissions and margin interest included. Every number is a backtest and is labelled as one. From September 7, 2026 the live ledger takes over, and it is never restated.

The rule I hold myself to
Losers get published at the same size as winners. If you ever catch the record flattering itself, cancel.
Get away from the screens, trade safe. Michael Nauss, CMT
