Quantopian
We introduced the Quantopian platform and demonstrated the use of its research and trading environment to analyze and test trading strategies against historical data. Quantopian uses Python and offers lots of educational material.
Quantopian hosts ongoing daily competitions to recruit algorithms for its crowd-sourced hedge fund portfolio. Quantopian provides capital to the winning algorithm. Live-trading was discontinued in September 2017, but the platform still provides a large range of historical data and attracts an active community of developers and traders that is a good starting point to discuss ideas and learn from others.
