👋 Hey Product Hunt! I'm Rich Sun, founder of Portfolio Lab. Agentic trading has arrived. Your AI agent can place trades in your brokerage. But no one's answering the real question: what do you tell it to trade?

🧐 The problem

AI agents are built to reason in language, not to crunch numbers. An LLM hallucinates and isn't data-driven, so it has no business picking your trades. But there's a second problem underneath: most investors don't have the expertise to tell an agent what to do in the first place. Point AI at investing with no real system behind it, and that gap compounds into bad results.

💡 A different kind of AI

So we built the system. Not a chatbot guessing at markets, but specialized quantitative models trained on decades of market data, purpose-built to construct and validate systematic strategies. That's Portfolio Lab, the strategy layer of agentic trading: you set the goal, our AI builds the strategy, your agent trades it in your own account.

⚙️ How it works

Build: set your goal, and our AI constructs systematic strategies
Validate: every strategy is tested out of sample and in live markets before a real dollar moves
Deploy: connect Claude, ChatGPT, or any MCP agent to trade it in your own account

🎯 What makes us different

An agent isn't a strategy: we give it the data-driven system it can't be on its own
Responsible backtests: we follow the academic standards most tools skip, so the numbers actually mean something
Then live validation: because backtests only go so far, every strategy runs forward in real market conditions, on real prices and fills
Your account, your control: we never hold your money or place a single order
