April 29, 2025

Nirvana has always been on the cutting edge of integrating trading ideas into their various platforms. This has included common indicators, timing approaches, trading block approach to strategies, and innovative technical approaches like AI with neural nets, genetic algorithms, and ATM. Coupled with their comprehensive OmniLanguage, and OmniTrader and Visual Trader platforms, tremendous technical trading capability is available. Recently I have personally been motivated to use Nirvana’s Omnifunds approach for automated trading successful strategies incorporating ranking and filtering targeted portfolios. In short there are many ways to utilize Nirvana’s products to become a better and successful investor and trader. I remain a dedicated long term customer of Nirvana because of all of the above, and continue to look forward to their continued innovations in the marketplace of trading and investment.

Absolutely loved the entire Power Trading Summit program. I’m an old dog and have a tough time changing my trend trading process. But this is the biggest game changer of all the great things you have produced through the years. I’m ready to cancel the myriad outside resources I subscribe to and focus exclusively on this process for trading.

March 27, 2025

I have been a Nirvana customer and a lifetime member since ED’s earliest days and before Omnitrader – I believe about 1987. I was impressed with the many platform features and those features have blossomed. When Visual Trader was introduced I jumped on board immediately. I knew it would be a winner and was it ever. With OT and VT am able to have great success and money. I’ve chosen to use OT for long term trading and VT for short term trading. After much experimenting, I’ve was able to create my own strategies and in combin ation with indicators and systems, e.g., DMI (my favorite), , CCI, ADX, Williams %R,trend intensity, and others CCI, multiple trend lines. Of particular benefit has been my ability to superimpose color backgrounds on the chart and the indicators/systems to provide a quick snapshot for trades. These color charts are extremely useful in Visual Trader and short term trading. They provide as they make it possible to easily manage 20 to 50 trades making accurate buy sell decisions in seconds. Omnitrader, has yet another important feature, fundamental data. A wealth of fundamental data is provided, at no charge, by Zack and Marketwatch providing an opportunity to load only the best securities in my trading porfolios which are loaded into both OT and VT. In summaary, the fantastic features in these to trading platforms are the ability to create successful strategies, chart the winners with multiple color coded trendlines, test using many indicators and systems, and color code these charts, indicators and systems. The fundamental data is especially important when creating profiles. This combination of features makes OT and VT extremely successful. One last word re: Nathan. Nathan is the very best. Nathan has never failed resolve any issues. He is an expert. Best of all he is so easy, pleasant, to talk too. I would be lost without his support.

March 11, 2025

You’re really on to something with your Relative Strength strategy and profile. I honestly think it’s the best strategy to focus on in these uncertain times. Finding both strength and weakness opportunities and having positions on both sides to manage risk makes perfect sense to me. My ultimate interest is in fully automatic trading with the best returns in all markets with the lowest risk possible. Hence the new upcoming Omnifunds strategies.

I have been a customer of Nirvana since 1999, I believe. That would be 25 years now. I have enjoyed working with the many products put out by the amazing team Ed has put together. However, I’ve had only moderate success with these trading systems and strategies. Still looking for the UTM!

I’m engaging the market EVERY Day and have grown my account from 77K to 92K (as of this evening) in 3 months! Thank you so much for this amazing method! I was originally calling this morning because I didn’t understand how long I should stay in when I’ve got winners and when to harvest them.

February 7, 2025

I am honored to be with Nirvana for more than twenty years. There are many great service and service companies for traders, but Nirvana Systems is more than a successful company. Nirvana Systems is a family. I flew across the Atlantic Ocean many years ago, so getting to know this family and this experience is unique. Everywhere and always I feel support and goodwill from Nirvana. Nirvana Systems products are exceptionally good. They are created by traders for traders.

February 3, 2025

Dear Ed Even though I may not have had the opportunity to spend much time directly with the individuals at Nirvana Systems, their impact on my life has been profound. Through their exceptional products and the support of their dedicated team, I have felt a sense of belonging and support that is akin to being part of a family. Over the span of 25 years, I have witnessed the incredible journey of Nirvana Systems, from the early days of eagerly watching Eds and Jeffs product presentations to witnessing their evolution into the exceptional company they are today. At the heart of Nirvana Systems is Ed Downs, the visionary founder who has guided the company for over three decades. His leadership and expertise have laid the foundation for their success, and his unwavering commitment to excellence shines through in every aspect of their operations. The exceptional support team at Nirvana Systems, including individuals like Scott, Nathan, Ryan, and many others, sets them apart from the rest. Their unwavering dedication and commitment to customer satisfaction are evident in every interaction. Interacting with them through the years has been a pleasure, and they have consistently gone above and beyond to ensure my needs are met. Nirvana Systems’ outstanding products, such as the groundbreaking Onmifund2 auto trade platform, have consistently surpassed my expectations. The platform’s remarkable features and user-friendly interface have revolutionized my auto trading experience, enabling me to achieve remarkable success while also affording me more time to pursue my personal endeavors. As I reflect on the growth, innovation, and unwavering support I have experienced with Nirvana Systems, I am reminded of the advice my father once gave me: “Stick with Nirvana Systems, for they will one day help you retire early in life.” Those words have proven to be true as I look back on the exceptional journey I have embarked upon with this remarkable company. I am filled with gratitude to their outstanding products, exceptional support, and unwavering commitment to excellence. I am proud to be a part of the Nirvana Systems community through the years and grateful for the opportunities they have provided me.

January 26, 2025

The concept of remaining fully invested is a GREAT first for Nirvana as far as I am concerned. With gxtrader’s low trade cost and Trade Processor automation I intend to remain fully invested in my account without a lot of personal interaction with the Broker in the process.

December 28, 2024

I am using Omnitrader now for about 5 years, over time I always received good feedback, clear explanations and really value add into the answers and advise. When more support was needed the Nirvana staff members could take over my screeen and show how to solve the issue. They explain the how in a way that when this issue occurs next time I was able to solve it myself. Summarizing, support in a way as support is ment to be!

December 23, 2024

I have been with Nirvana for more than 20 years and OT and VT are my main platforms for trading. I do like the fact that they do update their products regularly and all the staff(including Mr. Moore) are premier. In addition everyone at Nirvana have always been so willing to assist one with any issues in a most professional manner.

December 22, 2024

I was first exposed to market trading in undergraduate school. Part of the class assignment was to trade. The only tool we had to trade was a printout of price of the previous day quotes. In 1994, I had brain surgery using one of the first 3D mapping brain surgery. It left me with problems with the left and right part of my brain to communicate with each other. In 2002, the medical team informed me that I could no longer work in a full-time environment. Research led me to Nirvana. I wanted to have the tools like the large Hedge Fund had, but I did not have the billion-dollar budget. Nirvana Systems gave me the tools. As I started to use the tools developed. I learned that I could improve my performance by incorporating ARM2, Generic Algorithms and Neural Networks. The plugins and the ability to place and manage the trade was a game changer for me. Nirvana System is the pioneer in robot trading for the individual. Nirvana’s customer service always is second to no one. They are always a phone call away.

December 18, 2024

Around 2000, I was looking for a good charting system. I found OmniTrader. Although I did not initially appreciate the power of the tool, I slowly realized that it was truly the Swiss Army Knife I had been seeking. Although there have been interruptions and delays over the years owing to family and medical emergencies, I have become an active student and user. OmniTrader is my “go-to” resource for trading, and the support I have received from Nirvana has never been other than exceptional. It is a pleasure to work with people who have become like family and who share the same goals for the tools they produce.

December 4, 2024

The longer I chase the rabbit, the more I come to appreciate that a common sense approach to watching and adapting to the quirks of the market is paramount to success. Following black boxes or countless complex indicators is not the key to success. Bravo for cutting to the crux of finding winning trades.

November 21, 2024

I’ve been with Nirvana for close to 30 years and would be lost without their trading software. I have found that Nirvana offers virtually anything you need to trade the markets. As Nirvana has developed products throughout the years, I have evaluated each one and incorporated it if it fits with and enhances my particular trading style. I have also created my own scans, indicators and strategies with their software. I have settled on trading stocks and ETF’s end of day. I run multiple stock/ETF scans along with six trading strategies each day. These all run automated. I then view the strategy signals and place my trades with multiple personal and family accounts. Nirvana is becoming a leader in the field of automated trading, and I also have one automated trading account with them. I would not be with Nirvana all these years if I have not found them to have excellent products, high integrity leadership and staff and great customer support.

November 2, 2024

My introduction to Nirvana started several years ago when I decided to learn more about investing and take over that function for myself. That decision found me in San Francisco attending a presentation given by Nirvana. I flew down for from Montreal. Ed was the only face I remember and when I returned to Montreal I decided to become a lifetime member of Nirvana and from there it was a great experience and a well done decision on my part. I have Involved myself in Almost all of Nirvana’s tools omnitrader Omniview Omnivest ATM, ARM trade noses et cetera et cetera. It’s been a long haul and has pushed me to try my best which without twe help of Nirvanas team of supporters, the forums, the bash would have been so much more difficult. I have had support from all of the above referenced people but want to add a kudo to Nathan who has been my main contact over the years.

September 27, 2024

I ‘ve used OmniTrader for more than 20 years. I’ve made my own strategy that buys puts and calls on stocks in the S&P 100. This allows me to identify stocks likely to make a strong move and capture huge profits. The best thing is that I can profit when a stock goes up or down. I’m up 22.1% in 3 days this week, 60.1% last week, and 23.0 % the week before.

August 17, 2024

It was Nirvana amongst several other cos. which I chose. What attracted me were the ease of the chart’s construction and its manipulation to suit my needs. And also, it was not too long before I realized My choice of nirvana was excellent when problems or questions have arisen. The communication of the technical staff then and now is simply exemplary: clear, precise and when necessary, full guidance when required.

Relative Strength is a winner!! With my lung problem, it’s sometimes difficult to get out of bed at 0600 for a 0630 start. If we can get either an ATM solution or something similar like the slide bar trader in VT, where you can pick how much you want to be long and/or short in the market, and automate it to go MOC or MOO. Should also have buttons for no long or short trades.

I'm an architect, as such, I'm graphically inclined

August 1, 2024

I’m an architect, as such, I’m graphically inclined. I can see patterns, but in the beginning, I did not understand them. My relationship with Nirvana was originally formed with an education series on technical analysis. During that time, Ed explained that his primary goal was to create an automated trading tool, “The Ultimate Trading Machine”. (UTM) As an architect, my life is very busy, and the idea of an automated trading machine was, and is, very attractive to me. At the time, only those who were in the Nirvana Club would have access to the UTM. That is when I signed up. Over the years, I’ve found that the education and willingness of Club members to help one another has been the greatest value. There are so many extremely talented and creative individuals in the Nirvana Club that have helped to shape and make Nirvana Systems what it is today. It has been a journey made “together”. Presently, I’m most interested in the Nirvana products that do not depend on my personal computer to operate, so I’m most interested in Omnivest and Omnifund products. Of those, it seems like the Omnifund platform is less susceptible to “curve fitting”. I’m very pleased with the results that I am seeing in both Omnifund, and Omnifund 2. I have accounts trading in both platforms that are performing well.

July 22, 2024

I have been with Nirvana Systems since 2000 and am now a Lifetime Member. I’ve traded stocks since 1982 with varying levels of success. In time, I realized that my emotions were not good to trade the market, i.e. I was cautious when I needed to be brave and brave when I needed to be cautious. So, I set about to develop a mechanical trading system using the Nirvana tools that eventually resulted in a Model Portfolio consisting mostly of stocks from the major indexes that I post online for others to use. This Model Portfolio’s (seen at www.LTStockPicks.com) performance for all Closed Positions between 3 Jan 2017 and today is 20.3% while the currently Open Positions of 93 stocks have a Portfolio Annualized Return of 45.0% (excluding dividends). The S&P 500 during this time has returned only 12.9% annually (excluding dividends). This is a Long-Term Model Portfolio and new positions (open or closed) are infrequent. It only takes me 15 minutes a day to update it and keep my webpage updated. Everything on the website is FREE, except for the 10 most recently traded positions and email/text alerts. While continuing to maintain this Model Portfolio, I became intrigued by the new Omnifunds2 Opportunities that would trade a proprietary algorithm using Nirvana’s tools that would also allow the fund to go to cash as needed. I recently subscribed to the Premium Omnifund “Safe Harbor Diversified” that invests in only a few stocks at a time with no more than 50% allocated to any one stock. Margin is allowed and all trade updates are entered automatically as Market on Close. I am VERY PLEASED with how it has performed for me so far as my IRR is 85.1 % since 1 Sept 2024, I also am comfortable knowing that if I am away from my PC or even out of the country, my trading portfolio will be handled appropriately based on the market signals generated, AND should conditions warrant (based on the algorithm), my portfolio will be automatically taken to 100% cash. [NOTE: Now that I am retired, I do not want to sit behind my computer trading stocks all day long anymore.]

July 20, 2024

My story is probably a bit different than most of your other customers who use your products. I started with the Omnitrader platform to familiarize myself with the underlying workings of the technology to determine if the basic platform would allow me to do all of the functions I needed independent of any specific trading rules. Early on I performed some non-complex trading to specifically exercise the platform for functionality, ease of use and dependability. I also spent time on the forum pages to ensure that Nirvana was committed to continued development of the platform and to see what other users were experiencing with the product. I was sold on Omnitrader. I had performed this exercise on a number of other trading platforms and came away disappointed. Once I determined that Omnitrader was the platform that I could work with, I researched a number of the plugin software modules to see if any of the products inspired a trading approach I could be comfortable with. I bought several modules and again tested them for functionality and ease of use. What this exercise led to was a lot of in depth research and testing on the underlying philosophy of each of the specific trading methodologies. Over time, using my understanding of the methodologies of these modules, I developed a set of trading rules that I became comfortable with. The GANN trading module served as the basis of my trading approach that I use today. I’ve made some additions in the area of scans that have personalized it more for me and now have a trading platform and trading approach I am comfortable and pleased with. The other area of the business I would mention and it is just as important as the software is customer support. As a past executive manager in the software industry, I am well aware of the importance of customer support. You learn very quickly that even though you may have industry leading software products, the lack of excellent customer support will negate any good will in almost every case. I will commend Nirvana’s customer services and specifically note Nathan Dunham who has always done an excellent job and represents your firm well.

July 19, 2024

As an engineer approaching retirement in a couple years I became interested in the stock market around 1996. I read a book on chart patterns written by Ed Downs. I was impressed since the book made a lot of sense. Later, when wanting to trade the market I gravitated to Nirvana whose president was Ed Downs. That became a long term relationship with Nirvana. It’s been at least 26 years and many manuals, DVDs, reports and studies and Bash meetings about trading the market. Even though I have not become a millionaire, I respect and admire Nirvana and their support staff for my market education and friendships developed over the years.
