Nexural Handbook

Handbook / Our philosophy

Why Nexural exists

Why Sage built Nexural, and who he is.

In one sentence

Sage built Nexural because he was tired of trading "experts" who only show their wins.

Why it matters

It helps to know who runs a group and why. That tells you what to expect.

Nexural is run by Sage (Jason Teixeira). He built it for himself first. Then he opened it to others.

“Most traders lose money their first year. I was one of them.”

— Sage

Real example

Sage has had hard stretches too. He says so plainly:

“I've had drawdowns that tested my conviction. I've made mistakes that cost real money.”

— Sage

He also wrote a book to help new traders skip some of those lessons:

“I wrote the book I wish someone had handed me when I started.”

Common mistakes

  • Thinking the founder never loses. He does. It is on the record.
  • Expecting to be told what to buy. We show what we do. You decide what you do.
  • Skipping the story. Knowing why Nexural exists makes the rest of this handbook make sense.
