I don't believe there is better value…
I don't believe there is better value out there for guidance concerning the markets. Kevin and Patrick provide comprehensive charts and reasoning to support their positions when taken. And there is a market round-up at the end of the week covering commodities, precious metals and US markets which is worth your subscription alone.

I've been a member almost since the website opened
I've been a member of Northstarbadcharts almost since they began as a website. I can say nothing but good about Kevin and Patricks work. They've helped me make evidenced based decisions when investing. Overall I'm up more than 100%.

Best technical analysis and insight webservice !
Both Kevin and Pat are very sharp in making the technical analysis. They continued to broaden and expand their view on how to keep improving in identifying the key moments for technical breakouts.
They provide not only the fish, but are trying to learn you to fish yourself along the way. This is very well received and invaluable.

Great investing service
Knowledgeable and usually dead accurate with stock and sector stock market forecasts

A solid approach to investing
A solid approach to investing using multiple data sources as evidence and a clearly articulated approach to risk management. So much better than many of the share tipping services which are a subjective lottery.

Great reliable service for steadily increasing your net asset value
Patrick and Kevin are great long term chartists. They help me prevent fomo'ing into any asset that has good long term outlooks. They helped me stay out of the gold and silver miners the past few years, even though the fundamental outlook for this sector is great: the charts showed the time for investments was not ready yet. I believe they will help their members navigate through upcoming market turmoil whenever that hits, and keep on the good work showing us as members the right investment vehicles when great risk reward setups arrive. Northstar Badcharts is a reliable service: I can definitely give them my endorsement.

NSBC - Review Mar 2024
I am relatively new to NSBC. I haven't picked up on a number of things, as much as I would have liked to. I am not sure if this is mainly on me as there is a lot of data and learning to go through.
My suggestions would be:
1) Change your email headings when you send out email update notifications to be something like "NEW post from northstarbadcharts - brief subject - yyyy-mm-dd" eg "NEW post from northstarbadcharts - Gold Update - 2024-03-14". This way I can go through previous emails and quickly find which one I want to view again.
2) In your "Start Learning" tab, if you could include a video example of going through a trade from the start through to the exit.
3) Also in the "Start Learning" tab, if you could include a video on "How To" use, read and better understand the various Trackers (Directional / Trade / Ratio and Heat Map). They are very overwhelming and I'm not sure if I am reading them properly.
Thanks, your work is top notch. I enjoy charting and am learning a lot for you guys. Unfortunately, I have not fully picked up on all the tools that you have developed, hence my suggestions above.

considered chart interpretation & trade management
Kevin & Pat helped me realise that charts are the sum of all the parts and this changed my approach from trying to invest to trading. The term trading has negative connotations, almost gambling type associations. Kevin & Pat are far from gamblers and their chart interpretation is considered.

Prior to becoming a member of NSBC
Prior to becoming a member of NSBC, my trading yielded moderate success. However, since adopting the methodologies of Pat and Kevin, my profits have been consistent. Their transparency and genuine demeanor stand out in an age where such qualities are scarce, in my view.

Great Trading Website
Pat and Kevin are very experienced technical traders who work hard to share their expertise. I've incorporated their trading strategy into my overall trading plan and am very pleased with the results.
They also share all data on their trades, so you can evaluate it yourself and see how it fits in with other strategies you use.

"I've been a longtime follower of Kevin and Patrick, initially through their individual YouTube channels and now as a duo on the NorthStar/Badcharts website. Having subscribed to numerous online analysts in the past, I can unequivocally affirm that these gentlemen excel in providing top-notch trading analytics. Their meticulous attention to detail and evidence-based approach set them miles ahead of the competition. Highly recommend!"

Successful Trading Strategy
The guys have identified through skill and diligent application of their significant knowledge and experience a high probability, low risk trading strategy that I am applying to my own investment world to deliver consistent profitable results.
They also provide an engaging and broad learning platform and are always available for queries.
Their big picture roadmaps and use of ratios and provision of heat maps are fantastic value adds that provide confidence and stimulate new ideas, helping me to spot early break outs in a diverse range of markets.
