Hi everyone, I’m new to the sub and just starting my journey into algorithmic trading. I’ve been trading for about two years now, after a rough first year and a volatile second year, I’ve finally reached a break-even point and feel ready to automate.
I have a strategy developed in Pine Script on TradingView that is showing promise. However, I’m concerned about TradingView's backtesting limitations (like repainting and execution lag) and want to move toward a more robust platform for actual "algo" execution.
My question: For a beginner, which platform is the best "next step"?
I’ve started exploring QuantConnect and like that they have a free tier. It feels quite complex, and while I’m using Gemini and QuantConnect’s internal Mia AI to help me translate the logic and navigate the API, I’m wondering if the learning curve is worth it or if there is a better "middle ground" platform I should look into first.
Thanks in advance for any advice!
