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!

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.

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!

I've been using it for around 6 months I've been using it for around 6 months. My bot is not ready yet, but it's still my best choice for these privileges: 1. connection with the interactive brokers 2. easy to use Python 3. Real market data is available 4. many built-in Python libraries. I will add here that I started a very nub in coding, and it is not easy to begin there, I mean things like data collection, especially for futures (I still haven't tried Options so far). With the help of CHatGPT which also knows the QuantConnect environment, it is now possible to code my own professional strategy for trading,

This is the best platform for… This is the best platform for individuals. I seldom subscribe to 'pro-account' things, but I did for this one. The dirty stuff like data cleansing, backtesting framework, error handling is done by them and I can focus on the fun stuff, printing money.
