Perplexity Computer builds futures research lab with backtests and data checks
Overview
Perplexity says its Computer product built a futures research lab that ran historical backtests and generated 604 trading strategies with win rates of at least 60% and positive returns after costs.
Perplexity's account, quoted by CEO Aravind Srinivas on X, states that an automation checks for new gold, Nasdaq-100, and S&P 500 futures data every 30 minutes and keeps the lab running after the original task ends.
Srinivas says Computer can run such simulations before users test ideas in the real world. The results are from historical backtests reported by Perplexity; the report does not include independent verification or live trading results.
