Thought it's time to show some Quant love around here, I got forwarded this little resource here, and decided to present back over here in WSO.
Anyway, Quantopian.com is a community algorithmic trading platform for your browser for all you in Quantitive finance to utilize, I quote from their site:
Backtest your algorithm, for free, against our 10-year history of minute-level stock data.Compare your algorithm to a benchmark, and review the algorithm's results and risk metrics.
Plus, all those concerned about the security and confidentiality of the results and work pumped out Quantopian promises to protect any content you upload as your intellectual property. Your algorithms are kept private, if chosen to be so.
But, if your looking to gain feedback from fellow Quants and smooth out the errors, you can provide it into the public library of works where you can preview other uploaded content, clone presented algorithms, and source ideas for your own content.
Here's an example of a public post hovering on Bolliger Bands in Trading (feel free to clone the algorithm, you can view source code as well): https://www.quantopian.com/posts/bollinger-bands-with-trading
What do you guys think? Any good to source from? Would you utilize it or contribute a build?
Also, if you don't already use Quantopian, what do you use? (firm issued systems?)
SB if I could. Very solid link; thanks.
Awesome, Thanks for posting!
pretty cool Lambie! I'll give it a go as soon as i have time
Thanks for posting!
I use it, its decent, but it still needs a lot of work to add more technicals to the code.
Been using this got fun got a year now, pretty fascinating although it could definitely use more technicals
Interesting site. I think I'll give it a try. +1 thanks. Edit: Two big negatives for me though: Only has data on US stocks and only supports Python...
if PnL > X, email strategy to site owner.
If not, lulz.
Pretty interesting discussion on Quantopian from a couple months ago:

Awesome, but it will be far more useful when you can implement other markets besides US Eq.
