Share New Research 
Hi Everyone - I have written a test strategy but I am wondering once I develop a profitable strategy what's next to make it pro? Also, it's my first time here, can anyone please share any link or blog where I can read about actual experience and next steps to start trading in the market. Thanks.

Hello Anuj,
Once you have developed a profitable strategy, the next step is to live trade it. You can deploy your algorithm live through QuantConnect which supports multiple brokerages such as Interactive Brokers, FXCM, OANDA, and others. You can also paper trade your strategy to see how it performs in real-time without risking actual capital.
Before going live, it's important to thoroughly backtest your strategy using historical data. QuantConnect provides high-resolution financial data for this purpose. You can also use the platform's research environment to further analyze your strategy.
For real experiences and next steps, I recommend checking out the QuantConnect community forum. It's a great place to learn from other users' experiences, ask questions, and get advice on algorithmic trading. Here are a few discussions that might be helpful:
You can also check out the QuantConnect Documentation and Tutorials for more detailed information on using the platform and developing trading strategies.
Remember, algorithmic trading involves risk and it's important to only trade with capital you can afford to lose. Happy coding!
