ESMaking 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.

GBQuantConnect.com review - SLOW QuantConnect review : QuantConnect is one of the great platform to implement automated quant trading strategies. However what makes me unhappy with this platform is that it is very slow at times. Refer to screenshot link below showing the wait time more than 1800 seconds. https:// ibb. co/ BLBg52D

CAHave 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.

BERecommended I have been programming on my bot for over 2 years. In the beginning it was difficult to get to know the platform because there is a lot of possibilities coming at you. But once you understand how this platform works and were to find the information. It's a pleasure to work on your bot. Pros: - Strong community that mostly answers your questions in 24h or max 48 hours. - Working locally or on the platform - Possibility of coding 100% your own strategy - Live Trading with a lot of markets (Equity, Crypto, Forex, Futures). - They listen to proposals to improve the platform and take immediate action. - If using the bronze membership your getting professional help within an hour. (It's normal they charge an amount for the professional help, nothing is free these days.) - Implementing email, sms, telegram messages, ... of the orders the bot is making. Cons: - If u have zero experience programming in Python or C# it's hard to program your own bot despite their learning center. - Maybe an app on the cellphone would be nice. So you can check your bot/code anytime you want (not would be something extra). A tip: Keep persevere once your bot is trading live it's a reward for all the hard work.

AUThis 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.
