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.

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,

Complex, 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.

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.

Amazing 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.
