I built 42 AI-generated finance videos. Here is the research behind them.
Austin Starks explains why NexusTrade now has a short-form video library, and why every video in it was generated by AI.
The reason is the feedback he cannot escape from retail investors: I don't get it, what do I do next, this is just too hard. His answer is that nobody should need a six-hour course and three blog posts before they can use an AI agent. There are 42 videos on the page now and the newer ones run about a minute each.
The part people argue with is that the content is AI-generated, and he takes that objection directly: most AI content has earned its reputation. What separates these is that each one is built on research he actually ran. One ranks 93 indicator types across 222,010 real backtests, and finds RSI placing 23rd of the 34 types with at least 500 results. Another scraped 925 videos from 24 finance hashtags on TikTok and had a video-understanding model watch the 41 most-viewed ones, finding that 14 of them are wealth-lifestyle content with no instruction in them at all. A third ranks five ways of investing in the stock market and puts day trading in F tier.
Every video also ends somewhere you can act. The call to action opens the agent with the question already typed, or a portfolio you can copy, or a backtest you can run yourself.

0:00I'm running an experiment.
0:01It either ends my small business, or every marketing team on earth copies it next year.
0:06For six years I have been building NexusTrade, a no-code agentic trading platform.
0:10Think of it as Claude Code for algorithmic trading.
0:13Every time I ask retail investors for feedback, the same three answers come back.
0:17I don't get it.
0:19What do I do next?
0:20This is just too hard.
0:21They are right about that.
0:23You should not need a six hour course and three blog posts before you can use an AI agent.
0:28Therefore I built NexusTrade shorts, a library of short finance videos you scroll instead of sit through.
0:34But every one of them was generated by AI.
0:36AI content has a reputation for being slop, and most of it earned that reputation.
0:41So mine are built on research I actually ran.
0:43One ranks ninety three indicators across two hundred twenty two thousand real backtests.
0:50Another scraped nine hundred twenty five finance TikToks to find out what the winners actually do.
0:56A third ranks five ways of investing in the stock market.
0:59Day trading landed in F tier.
1:02Every video ends somewhere you can act, on a portfolio you can copy or a backtest you can run yourself.
1:09Forty two are live right now.
1:10Scroll it for three minutes and tell me if it worked.
