How it works

Three steps. Every trade.

See how it works
  1. 01

    We trade

    We pick the trade and set the Stop The price where you get out if the trade goes against you. It caps how much you can lose on that trade, as long as the price doesn't jump past it. More plain-English terms first.

  2. 02

    We post it

    Why, entry, stop, exit, result — as it happens.

  3. 03

    We keep score

    Every close goes on the record. Win or lose.

// the wall

You've been told retail trading is a feeling.
We disagree.

Retail platforms sell you tools. We teach a method and show our trades. Below: three common ways retail traders go wrong — and what we built instead.

fail.mode_01

"I have a dozen indicators and still don't know if my edge is real."

→Our system's trade ideas are scored in public — entry, stop, and result — with the losers kept on the record. (Hypothetical: nobody traded them.)

"My system worked in backtest. Live? It bled out."

// the loop

One loop. Four stations.
Learn, watch, check, then automate.

Most retail platforms hand you a chart and wish you luck. Nexural teaches the method, shows you our trades as we take them, and keeps score in public. Pro also includes Automation (beta): our bots, on paper trading first.

// pro · automation (beta)

Automation (beta): included with Pro, paper trading first.

Our trading bots are in beta and included with Pro. They run on paper trading while we test them together, and the results get published. Real money comes later, only after the bots prove out — and it would run in your own broker account, which you control.

  • Paper first

    Every strategy is tested on paper before any real money, and the results are published.

  • Risk gates first

    Position size and a daily loss limit are checked before every order.

  • Included with Pro

    No extra cost while it's in beta. Real money comes later, only after the bots prove out.

Free tools

Try the stack before you pay for it.

Free zero-friction tools that show what the rest of the platform feels like. The regime model is the same one running under the Swing Desk. The audit uses the same checklist we run on our own trading.

Free tool · No signup

Regime Detector

Type a ticker. Get trend / balance / volatile in under a second, from a simple read of recent daily closes. A quick sanity check on your own setups before you size. Educational, not a trade signal.

Run the detector
Free calculator · No signup

Drawdown Recovery Calculator

Enter a drawdown and see the gain it takes to get back to even. A 50% loss needs a 100% gain. The math is shown on the page.

Run the math
Free calculator

R-Multiple Calculator

Grade a trade by risk unit instead of dollars. Entry, stop, exit, direction: the calculator returns the R-multiple to record.

Calculate R
Free calculator

Position Size Calculator

Turn account equity, stop distance, point value, and risk percentage into max futures contracts before the trade gets emotional.

Size the trade

These tools stay free. No funnel tricks, no forced upgrade pop-up. If your stack scores well, the honest answer is “you don’t need us yet.”

“I have been trading with — and following — Sage for just about four years now. Sage knows so much about the markets and is an excellent teacher. I'd highly recommend tuning in to learn a thing or two. He jokes a lot and says it how it is, but at the end of the day he's all about business and making money — which is why we're here. I have learned an unfathomable amount of information from Sage over the years. 5/5.”

mentorship
“Sage is an exceptional trader and investor and an even better mentor. He has a great sense of humour, is genuinely a great guy, and teaches lessons that are easily worth thousands of dollars. His guidance has completely changed the way I approach the markets — helping me make better decisions and think like an institutional investor rather than a retail trader. One thing that truly sets Sage apart is his dedication to continuous learning. He's always discovering new strategies, concepts, and insights, and he generously shares them with everyone. Above all, he genuinely wants everyone around him to grow, learn, and improve. I'm grateful for his mentorship and highly recommend him to anyone who wants to take their trading and investing knowledge and mindset to the next level.”

mentorship
“Learning stock trading from Sage has been one of the most valuable experiences in my trading journey. His teaching style is clear, practical, and truly effective. Sage introduced me to the foundations of spread-selling strategies and taught me how to identify strong trade setups on higher timeframes using indicators like volume, TTM Squeeze, VIX, and others. He also showed me how to protect my investments through smart hedging. MarketChameleon and Finviz were additional helpful resources he walked me through. What I appreciate most is that Sage never pushed a one-size-fits-all approach. Instead, he encouraged me to think independently, understand the logic behind each setup, and develop a strategy that fits my own style and risk tolerance. He always reminded me that his strategy doesn't suit everyone, and that every trader needs to find their own comfort zone and risk-management approach. Thanks to Sage, I feel more confident, informed, and capable of navigating the markets on my own. His guidance didn't just teach me how to trade — it taught me how to think like a trader and an investor. Honestly, I've been trading for a while and could say I was an averagely experienced trader, but you opened my eyes to opportunities that I never knew existed.”

Retail trading deserves
better tools than this.

I spent years watching retail platforms ship "AI signal scanners" that hallucinated breakouts and "journals" that were glorified spreadsheets. Meanwhile, prop desks were running event-sourced order books, regime-aware risk gates, and walk-forward backtests as table stakes.

The gap was never IQ. It was access. So I built Nexural to close it.

The questions
we get most.

Don't see yours? Every answer is on the FAQ page, or drop us a line.

Nexural is a trading community. We trade US stocks (mostly leveraged ETFs), futures, and crypto: mostly day trades, plus swing trades and long-term holds. Every stock and ETF trade Sage closes is on the public trade log, win or lose; futures and crypto results aren't on our public record yet.
Free: the Discord, our TradingView indicators, the free first course How To Learn Markets, the daily market brief, free tools, and Sage's closed stock and ETF trades on the public trade log (/trade-log). Academy ($25/month) adds the full course catalog. Pro ($47/month or $470/year (2 months free)) is our trades as we take them with alerts, plus labeled system alerts and Automation (beta), and it does not include the Academy.
No. We never connect to your broker account or place orders for you. You see our trades and the reasons behind them, then you decide and place your own trades.
The /proof page scores every trade idea our system posted against real market prices, wins and losses left in. Those are hypothetical results, not trades someone actually placed, and the page says so. Sage's own trades are shown separately on the trade log, labeled as his personal account.
No. Nexural is not a broker and not an investment adviser. We don't hold your money, place orders for you, or give personal investment advice.
Yes, if you want to trade. You open and fund your own account with a broker you choose, and you place your own orders. Nexural is not a broker and never holds your money.
Paid plans are paused while we get the launch ready. Paid plans open to the founding list first, in join order. Founding members lock in the launch price for as long as they stay subscribed.
