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.

QuantConnect is an amazing service!!! QuantConnect provides an amazing service with their data and servers and the ability to run algorithms as if I were a hedge fund. I wouldn't be where I am without QuantConnect!!!

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.

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.
