The Best Technology. The Best People. The Best Trading Results.

Since the Nirvana Club was founded in 1996 it has grown into one of the most powerful and valuable trading

organizations the world has ever seen.

Each year since the Club’s founding we have been working with Nirvana Club Members to push the envelope and make the dream of profitable, fully-automated trading a reality (see Mission Possible on page 5). We are now reaching the goal I set out to accomplish nearly twenty years ago—thanks to the Nirvana Club.

The Nirvana Club is all about Artificial Intelligence (A.I.) for Traders. But in addition to the advanced A.I. products, we have continuously released new trading technologies that have dramatically improved Strategy performance and solidified our lead in Automated Trading System Technology.

The list of Club advances is long, including such landmark products as Valid Trend Lines, A.I. on Chart Patterns, and Trade Plans with intelligent exits. In 2016 we developed new A.I. Technology that have moved us dramatically closer to releasing the Ultimate Trading Machine.

We have improved the Genetic Algorithm (GA) with multiple features that have not only already led to superior Trading Strategies, but they also make creating high performance strategies easier than ever before! Read more about this ground breaking advancement on page 8.

I am tremendously proud of the Nirvana Club. Not only do we have the best Artificial Intelligence and trading tools in the world, the Nirvana Club itself is an amazing group of over 2,900 people who are dedicated to the development and advancement of automated trading technology. The forums are very active and members are always sharing new ideas that benefit everyone else.

I want every OmniTrader and VisualTrader user who shares my passion for automation to benefit from all that the Nirvana Club has to offer. As the technology matures, it will obviously become important for us to restrict access to it. I don’t want any of our loyal customers to be left behind.

When you join the Club, you will receive the many benefits listed in this mailer, plus more added each year. But more importantly, you will be able to participate in what could easily be the final leg of our journey. The time to join The Nirvana Club is now!

Sincerely,

Ed DownsCEO & FounderNirvana Systems, Inc.

The Nirvana Club is a continuing evolution of products, people, and technology. Every year, our researchers work to improve Nirvana Club deliverables to the next level—just one of the reasons members continually tell us that their Nirvana Club Membership is, by far, the best investment they ever made.

Major Advancements in 2016

The Nirvana Club continues to develop profitable, fully automated Strategies with low draw downs. This year, we focused on the Genetic Algorithm to create several great Strategies, including the ARM5 Stocks RTM shown here. This new technology is putting us within striking distance of The Ultimate Trading Machine goal (see page 4)!

When you Join the Club, you get the best A.I. powered Strategies available to investors. But you also have access to the base technology so you can apply it to your symbols and your markets if you want to.

Since the Club was launched in 1996, the membership has grown to include nearly 3,000 savvy investors, who are winning in the markets with our technology.

Prepare to discover the awesome power of Artificial Intelligence for Traders. And, Welcome to The Nirvana Club!

The Awesome Power of ARM5. This year, we created the new ARM5 version through major advancements made to our Genetic Algorithm. Get the whole story on page 10!

Istarted Nirvana Systems to develop a fully automated Trading System—a system so accurate, you could turn it loose to trade the markets or have it alert you by cell phone to

interactively place and manage trades. I would call such a system The Ultimate Trading Machine.

The “Software Robot” In 1989 Frank Taucher, author of The SuperTrader’s Almanac, conferred his Product of the Year Award to our Software Robot called KLATU. It had the ability to run other software from the outside, just like a person would do. Rather than reinvent the wheel, I decided to harness the analysis power of programs like MetaStock™ and TBSP™. In other words, I used these programs to find signals and then automated everything else.

The OmniTrader ProjectThe only problem was the programs we were automating weren’t powerful enough. We soon realized we were going to have to create our own trading technology. In 1993 we started the OmniTrader project, based on the Adaptive Reasoning Model (ARM).

OmniTrader is a giant leap forward in automated trading technology. I continue to get letters from customers who are amazed at how much it does and how little we charge for it! But this first version of ARM still wasn’t quite powerful enough for a fully automated Trading System.

I was able to run some experiments and concluded that by applying specific market measurements and building rules using a Genetic Algorithm, it should be possible to determine the probability of a given signal being correct based on specific combinations. We just needed resources to devote to the research.

The Nirvana Club is Born Then an idea occurred to me, “Would our customers be willing to partner with us?” We could create a club, charge a membership fee, and apply the new funding to the development of these advanced trading technologies. The members would receive the products as they were created, and the company would continue on the mission until a fully automated Trading System called The Ultimate Trading Machine was realized.

Since the Club was originally founded, we have enjoyed many successes, with each building on the last. We have applied significant resources to the very difficult problem of finding Trading Systems that consistently beat the market (milestone synopsis presented below). And I am proud of the fact that we are now delivering profitable mechanical Trading Systems to our members.

The Power of ARMOur ARM technology is second to none in the trading community. As the product has advanced, we have continued to release new and more powerful Strategies to our members. We also provide the same tools we use for our members to experiment with. Many members have taken this technology and either created their own Strategies or significantly enhanced existing ones. Granted, not all members want to do this, but the fact that the tools are open to all 2700+ members means our research can move forward that much faster. We have some very savvy people in the Nirvana Club.

Every year, we work to improve our ARM technology. Recently, we added “Dynamic Training” so our Neural Networks could be trained, validated, and tested over very large amounts of data. This year, we unveiled Neural Networks based Multiple Timeframe Confirmation. We have also made many technical advancements, such as the addition of cross-validation network training. The resulting performance gains have been phenomenal!

Closing in on UTM In the graph below, we show Profit per Trade for various values of Signal Score for one of our recently trained Neural Networks, demonstrating the fact that higher Signal Scores generate higher profit! It’s a simple task to tell OmniTrader to only trade signals with the highest scores. Hit rates for the highest score values are above 80%—our first criteria for The Ultimate Trading Machine.

Now is the TimeMembers will tell you the Club has significantly exceeded their expectations—not just in terms of trading technology, but in terms of the many additional benefits of membership. I want to encourage you to join while the membership window is open so you don’t miss out on the release of the Ultimate Trading Machine. There has never been a better time to join the Nirvana Club.

For performance statistics, charts, and other information on our recent ARM4 developments, visit www.nirvanasystems.com/nirvanaclub/ARM4.

ULTIMATE Trading MachineMISSION:POSSIBLEThe Ultimate Trading Machine is defined as a Trading System with 80% accuracy and a Reward:Risk Ratio or “R” of 3:1.* While such performance is not required to make money in the markets, we believe these numbers are achievable through the use of Artificial Intelligence applied to Trading Systems.

When members join the Nirvana Club, they enter into a Nirvana Club Agreement with us. The agreement states that if and when released, the Ultimate Trading Machine will ONLY be made available to Club members. The membership and I look forward to wearing a button that says...

“I don’t work. My computer supports me!”

* In his book, Trade Your Way to Financial Freedom, Van K. Tharp defines R as the expected profit divided by the maximum loss. Consistently high R values mean higher profits because losses are kept much smaller than gains.Signal Score

Artificial Intelligence has been used to improve investment returns by hedge funds and proprietary trading shops for years. But before the Nirvana Club this kind of technology had never before been available to individual traders.

The Club has developed two powerful types of Artificial Intelligence Technology, the Neural Network (ARM4) and Genetic Algorithms (ARM5, which is discussed on page 8). Both are important – let’s expand on the Neural Network first.

Our Neural Network technology was first released to the Club in 1998 and is the cornerstone of our A.I. capabilities. Its primary strength is in finding relationships between indicators that can predict chart movement in the future.

In live trading, the predictions from the Neural Network can be used to identify those Signals that have the highest probability for success. An example of this filtering process is shown to the right.

Our Neural Network technology has continued to improve year after year. We provide a powerful selection of “canned” ARM4 Strategies that can be used “out of the box”. Members can also easily customize any Neural Network by re-training on their own symbols.

Case Study: T3 Power The T3 Power Suite is based on the “Reversion to Mean” concept, generating consistent profits by trading Reversal Signals in pull-backs.

We were able to dramatically improve T3 just by adding a Neural Network from an existing strategy that was trained on the same kind of signal. The first chart shown to the right is for Google running on T3 without ARM4, the second chart has ARM4 applied. You can see how ARM4 only allowed the best signals to get through.

But the real story is in the graph below the charts, which shows how profit per trade increased as the Neural Network Score Cutoff was increased on a list of symbols. Profit per trade went from 0.81% to 2.64% as the NN Score was increased from 55 to 70. This is clear proof that the Neural Network is doing exactly what it is supposed to do—assigning the higher scores to the best trades.

Neural Networks from any of our ARM4 Strategies can easily be “dropped into” any other strategy with a simple copy- paste process. In this way, members are applying ARM4 to enhance plug-ins and other strategies.

In addition to the Neural Network, another powerful tool developed in the Nirvana Club is our Genetic Algorithm.

Neural Networks combines inputs in a “fluid” way, a Genetic Algorithm is based on RULES. A Rule is a collection of factors (inputs) which indicate a strong profit when present together.

As traders, we would like to evaluate 50, 100 or even 200 different indicators to “figure out” which ones combine to create a profitable outcome. That’s a VERY large problem and it’s what the G.A. excels at!

The example to the right is an actual Rule in our GA Funds Strategy. This rule was 81% Accurate with 2.84% Profit per Trade with 148 occurrences over historical data. The Knowledge Base was created over about 15 hours, and has a total of 3,500 rules. And expanded chart of ETF symbol FDL is shown on the next page.

ARM5: Genetic Algorithm

You may be wondering how the Genetic Algorithm can get such great results. The picture to the right represents 6 inputs (real problems can have hundreds.) Our first step is to measure all inputs across all our data. Inputs to the GA can be:

* Technical Indicators* True/False Comparisons* System Signals Multiple inputs make up a “chromosome”. In the picture to the right, each chromosome has 6 inputs each. Each input will have a starting value, like “RSI(14) > 30 = TRUE” Some inputs are set as “X” for Don’t Care, which means their value is not used in that chromosome.

Each chromosome is then tested for profitability across ALL the data, recording average accuracy (“Hit Rate”), average profit per trade (“PPT”), and other statistics for each “match”.

Now we start a “genetic” process of crossover and mutation to hopefully find better results, and the process is repeated many times. Finally, the best Rules are saved to the Knowledge Base.

Over 80% Accurate!

All Nirvana Club Members have access to the ARM5 Strategies listed on our web site, including the one shown here, called “GA Funds”. This Strategy, developed for trading Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs), is showing 80% accuracy in out-of-sample data. This is just one of several breakthrough Strategies developed with the G.A. in 2016.

A New Level of Profitability

In 2016, we dramatically improved our Genetic Algorithm using techniques described on the next page.

These advances have made it possible for us to build several outstanding new Strategies that shatter prior records, including GA Stocks RTM, shown on this page.

This Strategy has dramatically out-performed the market for the past 13 years, making an incredible 30% per year on average. Strategies this powerful are not available anywhere else.

And it gets better...

This is just one of the Strategies we released with the latest version of ARM5. I personally applied this technology to create an improved Secret Sauce Strategy as well as an ARM5 Liquid Stocks Strategy, the first one I’ve seen showing 85% profitability!

On the next page you will read about some of the key advances we made in 2016 to achieve these breakthrough results. To learn more about the technology and why it’s so powerful, please visit the Nirvana Club web site at:

How We Advanced The Ball in 2016 Several key improvements were developed and tested to improve the G.A. in 2016, including:

* Incremental Training* Uniqueness of Rules* Technical Filters* Group-Based G.A.’s* Boolean Inputs* And more...

Each of these advancements is described in detail on the Nirvana Club Web site. The most significant were Incremental Training and the use of Filters when training a Knowledge Base with the GA.

Incremental Training: All Trades are in “Out of Sample” Data!

When Incremental Training is applied, the program uses a prior Training Period to create a set of rules for the NEXT TRADING Period. In this way, all trades are generated in “Out of Sample” data. So every trade you see is one you

would have seen on the right edge. This was used to create the ARM5 Stocks RTM shown on page 10.

NEW Incremental Training. This chart illustrates the Incremental process. Multiple Knowledge Bases are created so all trades are “out of sample”.

Another important feature we added to the G.A. in 2016 is the concept of Filters, like the Trend Filter shown here. Rules are only be generated when the Trending Filter is True, resulting in a much better and more accurate rule set. The Filter concept was used in the creation of the GA Stocks RTM Strategy shown on page 10.

ARM5 is the result of hundreds of steady improvements made to our A.I. technology since the Nirvana Club was founded in 1996. There is no question about it, The Club has the best and most profitable Artificial Intelligence technology in the world, making a Nirvana Club Membership the best investment you can make.

NEW Filters: By restricting training to only occur in Trending Zones, the resulting Knowledge Base will be much more robust – finding trading opportunities when this specific condition exists.

Filters: Creating More Accurate Knowledge Bases
