6 QuantConnect Back-Testing Beginner Steps
Learn how to begin building trading strategies to be back-tested in the QuantConnect Lab.
Although QuantConnect is an excellent platform that simplifies the process of researching, testing, and deploying trading algorithms, it comes with a steep learning curve. I found that their boot camp tutorials and documentation do not thoroughly explain all of the available functions and properties. Additionally, there does not seem to be an abundance of third-party tutorials on YouTube either, which has made it quite difficult to learn QuantConnect’s full functionality.

I will provide helpful examples of algorithms, functions, and properties so that you can learn how to automate your own strategies. With that said, let’s get into some beginner steps for developing algorithms on QuantConnect.
