Backtesting Engine Design Primers
For personal use only. I'm currently looking at QuantConnect's LEAN and Quantopian's Zipline (which hasn't seen any updates since 2020, presumably because Quantopian was dissolved).

[D] Doing my (bachelor) thesis on RL. Which topic do you like best?
(1) I remember there were decent libraries for this setting a while back. Maybe take a look at Quantopian/Zipline.

Best Backtesting software?
Some of the notable libraries in Python are backtesting.py, bt and zipline. Personally I like bt the most, as its tree model makes the most intuitive sense.

What Happened to Quantconnect?
6.) You cant maximize position size of spread options strategies, LEAN always assumes naked margin first and ON THE NEXT DATA FRAME - you get your reg-t margin for spreads. https://github.com/QuantConnect/Lean/issues/5693 We're running into 2 years of this issue being reported.

Backtesting Engines for Testing Intraday Data on Thousands of Symbols Simultaneously
Thanks. I will check it out. Can you point me to the right part of the codebase I should be looking at? I know it must be somewhere here - https://github.com/QuantConnect/Lean

Quantconnect - Backtest script that accepts multiple dropbox links, creates portfolio, and rebalances on predefined dates, advice?
They have nice documentation on their website for how to download/import external data, though. They even have GitHub examples that pull data from Dropbox.

Problem with QuantConnect Package on Local IDE
Here is an example https://github.com/QuantConnect/Lean/blob/master/Algorithm.Python/DropboxUniverseSelectionAlgorithm.py

Exportable quote database for simulations?
There's also the open-source lean.io stuff by QuantConnect which looks decent and comes with data. It's pretty inexpensive too.

Rant about candles
I can plot OHCL lines, I can plot OHCL scatter points on the chart, why can't I plot candles? It's just those scatter points put together. This thing has been going on for 8 YEARS.

How has your experience been with QuantConnect? Would you invest in the company?
Here's a link to one of the strategy examples from the QC team that does this -- loading a universe from an external source. https://github.com/QuantConnect/Lean/blob/master/Algorithm.Python/DropboxCoarseFineAlgorithm.py

What's the best platform to backtest a large amount of 1m data using a simple volume-based strategy ? TradingView provides a minimal amount of candles in the 1m chart to backtest on and I need to test it further.
