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.

Alex stayed the course and helped me… Alex stayed the course and helped me with an issue that turned out to be not QuantConnect’s fault. But it turns out his idea led to a resolution. Much appreciation!!!

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.

Recommended I have been programming on my bot for over 2 years. In the beginning it was difficult to get to know the platform because there is a lot of possibilities coming at you. But once you understand how this platform works and were to find the information. It's a pleasure to work on your bot. Pros: - Strong community that mostly answers your questions in 24h or max 48 hours. - Working locally or on the platform - Possibility of coding 100% your own strategy - Live Trading with a lot of markets (Equity, Crypto, Forex, Futures). - They listen to proposals to improve the platform and take immediate action. - If using the bronze membership your getting professional help within an hour. (It's normal they charge an amount for the professional help, nothing is free these days.) - Implementing email, sms, telegram messages, ... of the orders the bot is making. Cons: - If u have zero experience programming in Python or C# it's hard to program your own bot despite their learning center. - Maybe an app on the cellphone would be nice. So you can check your bot/code anytime you want (not would be something extra). A tip: Keep persevere once your bot is trading live it's a reward for all the hard work.

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,
