LOOK PAST THE BEST BACKTEST
A good backtest
isn’t enough.
Aurora compared 96 configurations and ranked them on the training period. These six leading candidates then faced an unseen validation period. The encouraging results still need a rolling walk-forward test.

Sortino measures return relative to downside volatility; higher is better. Six displayed candidates from a 25-row leaderboard, ranked on the training period, rather than validation. Every candidate's validation Sortino is higher than its training Sortino. One later window can do that when the market is easier, so the gap is not proof the strategy improved.
Inspect the experiment details
Training: Jan 1, 2021–Apr 19, 2025. Validation: Apr 20, 2025–May 17, 2026. Each candidate varies the lookback, entry cooldown, and position allocation. This is a historical research example, not a live bot record or a forecast.
Candidate 01: 60-day lookback · 60-day cooldown · 15% allocation
Candidate 02: 90-day lookback · 45-day cooldown · 10% allocation
Candidate 03: 90-day lookback · 60-day cooldown · 20% allocation
Candidate 04: 120-day lookback · 30-day cooldown · 10% allocation
Candidate 05: 60-day lookback · 21-day cooldown · 15% allocation
Candidate 06: 90-day lookback · 45-day cooldown · 20% allocation

FROM THE PEOPLE USING IT
Different backgrounds.
The same curiosity.
You did an excellent job of considering all aspects of trading and research which made the application smartly transition from research to strategy, to watchlist, to trade… very nicely done.

Do I need to code or already have a strategy?
No. The three-question start asks about your experience, priorities, and interests, then suggests ideas to test. Choose one or bring your own. Aurora works in plain English, and you can also build rules manually.
Can I trade real money with NexusTrade?
Yes, if you choose to. Paper trading needs no brokerage. Live trading connects to Alpaca, Public, TradeStation, or Tradier. Stocks, options, and crypto are supported. The brokerage decides which of those you can trade. Automated live trading requires approval, current consent, and automation you explicitly enable.
What’s free, and when do I pay?
You can explore bots and build strategies manually. The free workspace includes 2 paper portfolios with up to 10 strategies each. Aurora research uses tokens: paid plans include a recurring allowance, and you can also buy tokens without changing your plan.
Are the results shown here real money or simulations?
The founder’s Public Portfolio Challenge uses real capital. Marketplace records are labeled as paper or live trading; the Buffett sweep is historical backtest research. These are different kinds of evidence, and none guarantees your future returns.
Why does an annual plan show a monthly price?
It’s a monthly equivalent for comparison, not monthly installments. For example, the Investor annual plan shows $41.67 per month, but charges $499.99 once per year. Choose Weekly or Monthly for those billing periods instead.
Does a paid platform plan include every bot?
No. Some marketplace bots are free; others have their own subscription price. A platform plan covers its research allowance and platform limits. A paid bot subscription unlocks that bot only. It does not include Aurora access or upgrade your platform plan.
