Yesterday, we launched one of the biggest updates to NexusTrade’s AI Chat, Aurora – now bringing backtest results right into your conversations, making financial research even smoother!

Today, we’re thrilled to announce another MAJOR feature: additional configuration for the savvy algorithmic trader. Here's the scoop.

Previously, backtests in chat from portfolios and strategies automatically started from one year ago – a solid way to get recent performance insights on your portfolios and strategies.

But we know every trader has unique goals. If you’re aiming for quick research without lookahead bias, you might want to focus on a specific timeframe, like 2023 or even earlier.

Now, you’re in control. You can set the default backtest period in two ways:

1. Relative dates: Set the start date to a fixed number of days in the past.
2. Static dates: Choose exact start and end dates to fit your needs.

This enhancement is small, but extremely important for the savvy algorithmic trader. You can spend less time waiting (and wasting chat credits for custom backtests) and more time performing research and testing different strategies.

I'm excited to continuously improve the NexusTrade platform for my users. If you have any questions or feedback, please let me know!

Best Regards,

Austin Starks
