Two minutes on what's inside The CNC.

The record, in public

Every call is on the record.

Most people selling market education hide their misses. Armando publishes his — the callouts page shows the return, the worst drawdown, and the date, for every name, updated after every close.

Members, in their own words

What members say about The CNC.

Armando Pantoja
What is The CNC?

A research desk, a room, and a system.

The CNC is where I actually do the work you see in the videos. Every Monday I'm live for sixty to ninety minutes — one lesson, then the state of the market: what's moving, why, and where I think capital goes next. Not a highlight reel. The same room, every week, for years.

The market I care about is the one being reshaped by AI, semiconductors, energy and nuclear, quantum, robotics and digital assets — structural change, not the daily noise. My callouts come from that lens, and every one of them sits on a public page with its return and its worst drawdown, because if you can't see the drawdown you can't know whether you could have held it.

What's new is where we're going next: teaching members to attach AI directly to their trading — build a strategy in plain English, backtest it against real data, and run it live with rules that protect you from yourself. That's the CNC I'm building now, and it's who this application is for.

If you already understand that markets reward patience and structure — and you're done guessing — you'll be at home here.

Here's what we help you with inside The CNC

Less noise. More structure.

Included · TradeForge

Attach AI to your trading. Without writing code.

Members get access to TradeForge, the CNC's strategy builder. You describe a strategy in plain English, TradeForge turns it into rules, backtests it against real market data with no look-ahead, then runs it — alerts, watchlists or paper trades — while you get on with your life.

WhatUniverseWhich names, or which signals — insiders, Congress, contracts.
WhenEntryMomentum, breakout, pullback, VWAP, EMA cross, golden cross.
How muchSizeFixed dollars, percent of account, or risk-based.

The three pillars

Think. Build. Run.

Step 1

Think

See the market the way the desk does: structural themes, catalysts, and what the chart is actually saying. Every Monday, live, with the reasoning shown.

Step 2

Build

Turn a view into rules. What to buy, when, how much, how to protect it, when to add, when to leave — then backtest it against real data before a dollar moves.

Step 3

Run

Let the system do the watching. Rules run, alerts come to you, and you improve the strategy from what actually happened instead of how it felt.

What's included

Everything on the desk, every week.

Live

Monday with Armando

More than stocks

Real estate. Metals. Crypto. The whole balance sheet.

Wealth isn't one asset class, so neither is The CNC. Armando brings in specialists — live at our events and inside the community — so you hear real estate from people who own doors, precious metals from people who hold ounces, crypto from people who were early, and tax and structure from people who do it for a living.

Real estate

Doors & deals

Operators and investors on cash flow, financing, and where the next markets are.

Precious metals

Gold & silver

Physical, miners and royalty plays — and when metals belong in the mix.

Crypto

Digital assets

Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP and the rails being built — from people who were early and stayed disciplined.

Live events

Future Wealth & more

Guest experts on stage at our conference and in private sessions for members.

Tax & structure

Keep more of it

Entity structure, tax strategy and estate basics from licensed professionals.

And more

Private markets, AI, energy

Deal flow, private placements, and the themes Armando is tracking next.

Is this for you?

Who this is for — and who it isn't.

This is for you if

  • You're serious about building wealth — whether you're managing a portfolio already or putting your first real capital to work — and you want structure, not noise.
  • You want to control your own money. We show the thinking and the system; you make the decisions.
  • You think in themes and years, not tips and days. No daily signals here — deliberately.
  • You want to put AI to work in your own trading — building and testing rules, not chasing alerts.
  • You can show up on Mondays, or watch the replay, and actually do the work.

This is not for you if

  • You want someone to manage your money or tell you what to buy every morning.
  • You're looking for guaranteed returns or a get-rich-quick shortcut. There aren't any, and we'll say so.
  • You want daily picks and constant notifications. We ran that model once and retired it on purpose.
  • You can't tolerate a drawdown — every callout on our record shows its worst one, and some are deep.
  • You want someone else to think for you. We show the reasoning; you make the calls.
Frequently asked questions

Straight answers, before you join.

What is The CNC?

The CNC is Armando Pantoja's private research desk and investor community. Every Monday he goes live for sixty to ninety minutes — one lesson, then the state of the market — and every name he calls sits on a public page with its return and its worst drawdown. The desk looks at the market through one lens: the next economy runs on energy, compute and data, so we follow AI, semiconductors, energy and nuclear, quantum, robotics and digital assets — the structural shift, not the daily noise.

It is not a signals service and it is not a course. It is the room where the work gets done, on the record, every week.

How do I get started?

Press JOIN THE CNC, give us your email, and pick monthly or yearly. Checkout is on Gumroad. Your access details arrive by email within a few minutes — check spam if you don't see them; the sender will be The CNC Group or Gumroad. Then sign into the CNC app (web, iPhone and Android) — that's where the Monday sessions, the callouts board and the community live. Your first Monday is the following one.

What happens every week?

Monday, live with Armando — a lesson, then what's moving, why, and where capital goes next, with the reasoning shown. The replay is in the library the same day. The callouts — every name he's watching, his take, the buy zone and the setups hitting — update after every close, so you know what to look at this week, not last year. Your questions and tickers get answered on the record in the member debriefs.

What is TradeForge?

TradeForge is the CNC's strategy builder, included with membership. You describe a strategy in plain English — what to buy, when, how much, how to protect it, when to add, when to leave. TradeForge turns it into rules, backtests it against real market data with no look-ahead, and shows the drawdown next to the return. Then it runs — alerts, watchlists or paper trades — while you get on with your life. No code. Every block reads back as a sentence you can check.

Is there an app?

Yes. The CNC runs on its own app — web, iPhone and Android — private, fast and free of the noise of social feeds. Sessions and replays, the callouts board, the reports library, the debriefs, the community and TradeForge are all inside it.

Do I get direct support?

Yes. Your questions go into the weekly debriefs and get answered on the record; the community and the CNC moderators are there between sessions; and when you want Armando one-to-one, there is a direct path to a private session for members. For anything account-related — access, billing, sign-in — write to help@thecncgroup.com.

Monthly or yearly — and can I cancel?

Both include everything on this page. Monthly is $127 a month and renews until you cancel. Yearly is $897 for the year — the best deal, saving $627 against paying monthly. You can cancel monthly at any time from your Gumroad account, and you keep access to the end of the period you've paid for.

Do you offer a money-back guarantee?

Yes — 30 days, in full. Join, get inside, come to Monday live. If The CNC isn't for you, tell us within your first 30 days at help@thecncgroup.com and we refund you in full — no questions, no forms. That goes for monthly and yearly alike.

Is this financial advice?

No. The CNC provides education, research and opinion for informational purposes only. Every callout is published with its full history — including the drawdowns — so you can judge it for yourself, and nothing here is a recommendation to buy or sell any security. Past performance is not a guarantee of future results. Do your own research and speak to a licensed adviser about your own situation. The full notice is at the bottom of this page.

Who is this for — and who is it not for?

It's for people who already understand that markets reward patience and structure, want to see the reasoning behind every call, and are done guessing. It is not for anyone looking for a get-rich-quick pick, a guaranteed weekly trade, or someone to trade their account for them. If you want to think, build and run your own approach — with the desk's work in front of you every week — you'll be at home here.
