Important python libraries?
I'm also going to shamelessly plug fast-trade, which is a backtesting library where you write strategies as objects instead of actual code. It's also built on a couple of pretty wonderful libraries including pandas and FinTa, which has a lot of indicators and it's really simple to use.

brute force matrix optimization for a snapshot of stock data.
Hey OP, I do something similar for a project I'm working on here: https://github.com/jrmeier/fast-trade/blob/b09500c8454ea748b3f0d7ff960eb2bea79ad7a8/fast_trade/run_backtest.py#L103 and https://github.com/jrmeier/fast-trade/blob/b09500c8454ea748b3f0d7ff960eb2bea79ad7a8/fast_trade/run_backtest.py#L126

What do they use to manage the tick data?
For ohlcv data,I wrote fast-trade with a data downloader. Basically it pulls 1 minute Kline data from Binance. It’s pretty easy to keep up to date. It works well for managing a local cache for backtesting.

Best Python libraries for backtesting and algo trading
Hey! Yup, here you go: https://fasttrade.dev. Here's the script I use to do it: https://github.com/jrmeier/fast-trade/blob/master/fast_trade/update_symbol_data.py. I also have a discord with some people that are also doing trading stuff (I’m also building a platform around this stuff). Let me know if you would like an invite!

Why aren’t there any mainstream algo trading platforms?
I’m working on something that attempts to do what you describe make it easy to signup and implemented a pre-made algo. It’s based on the library I wrote fast-trade. I’m a few weeks away from opening up a beta, but feel free to DM me if you want to check it out.

How to start developing your own backtester
You can start with fast-trade if you’d like. It’s a pretty simple backtesting engine but you can modify it however you’d like. Full disclosure I made it but I was trying to figure out how to get started as well and this is what I ended up with. Good luck!

Backtesting tool for python binance
I wrote fast-trade to do exactly that. Funny enough I wrote it for Binance but it works with any Kline data.

Looking for active python backtesting framework
I wrote fast-trade, you can use it from the command line or a script. Strategies are in JSON, so it’s easy to iterate.

Best Python libraries for backtesting and algo trading
Do you know if Backtrader is being actively developed? Seems like for a while the community had started developing a Backtrader2 (https://github.com/backtrader2/backtrader) because the main developer was too busy to work on it
