Making Quant Analysis and Trading accessible to everyone I knew about QuantConnect when I was desperately searching online for Options Historical data in the US markets. Everything else I found was expensive and required me a lot of manual handling. Not to say they weren't realistic at all (i.e. didn't consider company splits, adquisitions, etc.). QuantConnect and the open source lean framework made it very easy to implement trading algorithms (with a results very close to what I get in Interactive Brokers; including fees, splits, dividends, option assignments, etc.) at a very cheap cost (you just pay for the cloud computing resources). Being open source makes it very easy to figure out how to do things, however, they have interactive tutorials that will prepare anyone with basic development skills to implement real-live trading algorithms. Not to say the community is awesome and very helpful. QuantConnect is easily escalable for both small individuals and large corportations. Many organizations and hedge funds use it for their analysis and live trading.

Long time believer, first time promoter. I've been using Quantconnect for about two years but they've just released new capabilities for options research, based on user feedback, that prompted me to add a review. They listen to, care about, and build new features for their users (free features). Highly recommend.

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!

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.

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!
