GBCan only say good things! Over two (fun!) years the QuantConnect team have assisted me in (1) My programming...which at the beginning was all but non-existent. With this, the customer support, community help and other resources e.g. GitHub provided me with the required information to develop my algos. (2) Connectivity....I can connect one of my algos to one of my Interactive Brokers accounts in about 2 minutes. Its that easy. (3) Ability to license....Many of the systems I have developed over the last couple of years and submitted to the AlphaStreams marketplace are being licensed. Like any other endeavor in life - this takes hard work and a lot of effort. I have had no problems with backtest times - but obviously the times will depend on the amount of data being crunched in the background. So Im very happy - a friendly bunch of people doing real innovative stuff. I cant wait what the next few years bring!

GBLong 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.

ZAQuantconnect 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!

GBAmazing 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.

FIComplex, 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.
