03 / Work through a lesson
Short experiments. Focused lessons.
Some walkthroughs take only a few minutes. The deeper lessons spend more time on one problem, such as evaluating an AI agent or deciding when it needs permission to act. You can also follow a whole series in order.
After the backtest
Read the results beyond the return.
Compare a strategy with its benchmark, then look at Sharpe ratio, Sortino ratio, and maximum drawdown. The evaluation lesson explains what each measure helps you see.

See how an AI agent fits together.
Tools, the ReAct loop, memory, permissions, and evaluation all have a job. This overview connects them, with individual videos in the library when you want to explore one part further.
Watch the overview ↗Want exercises and a structured sequence too? Preview Algorithmic Trading Fundamentals or AI Agents from Scratch through the opening lesson. Each video series also has an optional interactive course.
Already testing a strategy? Watch the lesson on optimization and overfitting before you keep adjusting the rules. QuantConnect's research guide is a useful companion on overfitting and look-ahead bias.
04 / The production process
How the videos get made.
I explain the production approach in why I engineer videos instead of recording every take. A reusable voice clone, an avatar, and graphics built in code let me turn a script into a video without starting the filming and editing process from scratch each time. The avatar walkthrough shows the tools.
I still develop the ideas, do the research, and decide what is ready to publish. Some videos use my AI avatar and cloned voice; others are tutorials. A polished presentation still needs a result you can inspect, especially when money is involved.
A few useful answers
Before you pick a video.
What is NexusTrade Videos?
It's a place to follow what I'm building and testing, from trading rules to the software behind the platform. Browse a short experiment or work through a longer lesson.
Where should a beginner start learning algorithmic trading?
Start with the first Algorithmic Trading Fundamentals lesson. Continue with the videos on indicators, trading rules, backtesting, and deployment as those questions come up. The strategy-building short gives you a quick overview if you want to see the process first.
Are AI trading and algorithmic trading the same thing?
They overlap, but describe different things. Algorithmic trading follows a defined computational process. AI trading uses AI somewhere in the research or trading workflow. An AI assistant can help develop a strategy whose trading rules run without AI, and a trading algorithm can operate without machine learning.
Can I search for something said inside a video?
Yes. Try a term such as "paper trading" or "overfitting" in the library search. You don't need to remember which video it came from.
Do the AI trading videos prove a strategy will make money?
No. A historical backtest and a public portfolio record answer different questions, and neither guarantees future returns. AI-generated information can also be wrong. The SEC, NASAA, and FINRA's investor alert on AI explains why claims of guaranteed returns and reliance on unchecked AI output deserve scrutiny.
