Have been using QC for 3 years Have been using QC as an individual for 3 years, has been a smooth and consistent experience the entire time. Quantconnect makes building a trading algorithm highly accessible to anyone with an idea and a bit of coding knowledge. Handling all the background infrastructure for you, they make it easy to build your algorithm, backtest against market data, and even deploy it live with a supported brokerage. Sometimes it can be a bit difficult to learn the syntax and what a method does, but there is a lot of documentation available, as well as community forums. All this has really helped me focus on my strategy rather than building infrastructure from the ground up and I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking to try out quant finance or algorithmic trading.

Complex, difficult API, slow backtesting Extremely slow backtesting and very complex APi with bad documentation - be ready to spend many hours trying to understand the overly complex API that is changing all the time. And did I mention that support costs? So if a anything is complex you won't get answers from the staff unless you PAY them. I give them 2 stars as they have reasonably reliable data. The platform itself is only worth one star. note: if you ask about slowness or any other thing negative on their forum they delete the posts.

Amazing platform Amazing platform! Simple to use. Gives you all the financial datasources you can think of at your fingertips. The ability to create unlimited algorithms. Creating algorithm takes just a few lines of code. Connect your favorite brokerage firm in minutes. Deploy in minutes. Great support and documentation. If you are not sure how, just ask Mia, there new chatgpt like tool, that will write the code for you or answer any question you may have.

amazin place where to start and… amazin place where to start and continue your quantitative journey

I have been using QuantConnect for over… I have been using QuantConnect for over a year now. I started out using their free tier, which basically lets you do everything that you need to do to get started and more (coding, backtesting, access to historical data). Due to this I was able to learn how to use platform at my own pace without feeling pressured by any fees or costs. When I first started the documentation was still pretty spotty and it was difficult at first but I have always received fast and detailed replies by their staff and other community members, they have since improved their documentation and I have improved from being a beginner on the platform to being one of the helpful community members, I couldn't be happier with how QuantConnect and my own trading journey is evolving!
