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.

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,

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.

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.

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!
