I wasn’t a programmer I wasn’t a programmer, took a python basics course on youtube and their free bootcamp course and I was surprised how quickly I picked up object oriented programming and algorithmic trading coding on their platform. The stocks data is free up to seconds timeframe, after a long research on competitors I choose quantconnect and it was up to my expectations.

Can only say good things! Over two (fun!) years the QuantConnect team have assisted me in (1) My programming...which at the beginning was all but non-existent. With this, the customer support, community help and other resources e.g. GitHub provided me with the required information to develop my algos. (2) Connectivity....I can connect one of my algos to one of my Interactive Brokers accounts in about 2 minutes. Its that easy. (3) Ability to license....Many of the systems I have developed over the last couple of years and submitted to the AlphaStreams marketplace are being licensed. Like any other endeavor in life - this takes hard work and a lot of effort. I have had no problems with backtest times - but obviously the times will depend on the amount of data being crunched in the background. So Im very happy - a friendly bunch of people doing real innovative stuff. I cant wait what the next few years bring!

Great technology, accessible team, invaluable supporters of the ecosystem QuantConnect has been an invaluable partner for my personal trading and for a university class that I teach. The community is incredibly supportive, and the leadership team are accessible which is almost unheard of in trading platforms these days. In my class, my graduate level students have been able to personally engage and implement constructs like Fama French factors, and QuantConnect has been an active supporter to facilitate my students learning. It's incredible to join the community, have access to a variety of detailed trading algorithms, instructional videos, and see my students feel confident implementing week-to-week. I don't think there's anything like QuantConnect out there today, and I'm a big supporter of their efforts. I can't imagine my own trading or teaching my class without it!

This is a pretty unique business This is a pretty unique business. I've learned a lot as an investor just creating and running simulations here. I really wish these folks the best and hope they can continue to grow and thrive.

QuantConnect is an amazing service!!! QuantConnect provides an amazing service with their data and servers and the ability to run algorithms as if I were a hedge fund. I wouldn't be where I am without QuantConnect!!!
