BestEx Research Launches the World's First AI-Powered Trading Analytics Platform

On August 6, 2026, BestEx Research Group LLC announced the introduction of Pulse AI, a groundbreaking tool aimed at transforming institutional trading analytics through artificial intelligence. As an independent provider of execution algorithms, trading technology, and analytics, the firm has positioned itself at the forefront of innovation in global equities and futures trading.

Pulse AI integrates seamlessly with BestEx Research's Pulse Analytics suite, enabling traders to interact with AI assistants like Claude and ChatGPT to extract valuable insights from proprietary models and real market data. The platform aims to enhance the trading process by providing comprehensive pre-trade and post-trade analytics.

Pre-Trade Analytics: Streamlining the Trading Process

Pulse AI's pre-trade analytics features are currently live for global futures, with equity functionalities expected to launch by October 2026. Historically, trading desks have dealt with colossal amounts of market data. Analyzing this data has often required quants to invest considerable time in data preparation and model building. However, Pulse AI is designed to eliminate this inefficiency, allowing analysts to maximize their time for in-depth analysis instead.

The platform focuses on liquidity analysis, offering vital information such as:

• - Which products demonstrate the highest liquidity during specific times of the day.
• - The usual behavior of spreads and depths for specific instruments.
• - How market liquidity influences trading costs.
• - The effects of scheduled economic events on the order book.
• - Estimated costs of executing large positions at various participation rates and speeds.

By leveraging BestEx Research's processed algo inputs and execution cost models, Pulse AI delivers data that reflects current market conditions, complete with visualizations that would typically require manual assembly by traders and their teams. This advancement promises to significantly enhance the precision and speed of decision-making in trading operations.

Post-Trade TCA: A Unified Approach to Broker Evaluation

Scheduled for a Q1 2027 release, the post-trade aspect of Pulse AI focuses on broker-neutral Transaction Cost Analysis (TCA). Evaluating broker performance has traditionally posed a challenge for institutional investors, as each broker utilizes its methodology, often leading to fragmented insights. Pulse AI addresses this by standardizing the evaluation process across all transactions within a single methodology.

This feature enables traders to:

• - Identify brokers that demonstrate real performance.
• - Analyze which strategies yield favorable results under varying conditions.
• - Discover potential modifications to algorithms that could decrease costs.

The integration of these analyses within the Pulse AI framework eliminates the need for traders to switch contexts from quarterly reports to operational data, instead allowing them to conduct investigations directly within their existing AI assistant tools.

A Transformative Shift in Data Interaction

Hitesh Mittal, Founder and CEO of BestEx Research, emphasized, "AI is transforming how information is accessed, and buy-side traders have been longing for an evolution in the TCA process, which has been convoluted for decades. We developed Pulse Analytics specifically to assist traders, quants, and portfolio managers with their most complex decisions. With Pulse AI, they can engage in conversations about execution quality, navigate volatile market conditions in real-time, or even employ an AI agent to prepare comprehensive performance analyses overnight, providing actionable insights the following morning. This marks a profound shift in relationships with trading data compared to traditional quarterly reports."

For those interested in Pulse AI, additional details can be found on BestEx Research's website, where clients can also request product demonstrations. Institutional clients keen to participate in the beta program for post-trade functionalities can reach out via the firm's platform.
