There are few examples of really interesting software created by one-person. One the most famous examples is the creation of the Linux operating system by Linus Torvalds. He created Linux as a personal project, and now, it is a cornerstone of modern computing.

NexusTrade is another example of a great software system developed by one person, me, Austin Starks. When compared to other trading platforms, it is one of the most powerful algorithmic trading platforms out there, offering features that other platforms simply don’t. Today, I’m going to do a (mostly) unbiased comparison between NexusTrade and 2 other trading platforms: Robinhood and Composor. With this comparison, you can make the decision yourself on whether or not NexusTrade is an impressive software system.

In addition to creating strategies, the platform allows non-technical users to optimize their strategy using genetic algorithms. These algorithms modify the original parameters of a strategy to improve the performance of the portfolios based on past historical data. This feature is fairly unique, and no other trading platform has a genetic optimization engine baked into its UI.

Moreover, users can use the platform to perform financial research and analyze any company’s financials. I will talk more about this in the following section.
