The QuantConnect community consists of over 250,000 quants and investors with diverse backgrounds. Our platform supports several channels of communication so that our members can discuss with the core team, other community members, and third-party contractors. Our community members are a great source for assistance when creating trading algorithms, but we recommend all users complete our base training material before requesting assistance from other members.
