Accelerator of analysis! Really nice platform to boost your algorithmic trading.

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!

Quantconnect is a great resource for quantitative strategy deployment Quantconnect is a great resource for the deployment of algorithmic and quantitative trading ideas. Once a user is familiar with the event-driven architecture of the trading platform, bringing strategies into action which align with a trader/investor's view of the financial markets can be carried out with great efficiency. The documentation for the trading platform is comprehensive and helps with strategy tuning. Then there's backtesting and optimization which are pretty great to tinker with, amongst other resources user can interact with. Sometimes the website is slow, but never for a prolonged period, however it is still a nag. Overall, I'm delighted with the product; looking forward to more deployments and engagements with the community!

Shady site Shady site not sure if the team behind are trustworthy with holding your algos data. I found other frameworks like backtrader that are easier to pick up and get working with quickly than LEAN. LEAN is poorly documenting making learning a huge hurdle. Also, I question the stability of their site because of the amount of bugs you can find in their UI and some that I encountered in plotting during backtrading. If you need an online IDE, Quantopian is far more reliable and documented and quicker to work with but still could have issues with data privacy.

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.
