Welcome

Quantopian is a platform and community for anyone who would like to build and test trading algorithms. You don’t have to be a professional quant to get started. In fact, we are hoping to have a diverse set of members in our community, ranging from all disciplines and geographies. We provide advanced tools and walk you through challenges so that you can get up to speed very quickly and start generating ideas immediately.

Our Technology

The core of our technology is a back-testing engine to simulate trades based on historical results. Built into Quantopian is a web application to develop algorithms, to configure and run historical back tests, and to calculate fundamental risk measures for the algorithm during the back test period. We hope you enjoy our site and use it as frequently as you like to develop your skills and experiment with new ideas you may have.
