QuantConnect Alternative, No Coding Needed | AlgoBars

A QuantConnect alternative without the coding

The short answer

QuantConnect is a powerful open-source quant platform, but strategies are written in Python or C#, and live trading needs a paid plan (about $60 a month minimum) plus live nodes from about $24 a month. AlgoBars lets you build strategies in plain English or with no-code blocks, backtest them free and without limits, and run them 24/7 on 200+ brokers.
