I follow Quantopian....as I ramp up my Python learning. Each and every auto-trading platform is proprietary....so it's a long learning curve for the most part. You just can't take your Multicharts algo and plug it in to another platform.
In that case I wouldn't touch it with a 10 foot pole. The last no-programming platform I reviewed was just so weak.
Looks way too basic and all these smiling faces just turn me off. It's always the sleazy salesmen who insist on putting lots of smiling people on websites, those add zero value and are designed to sell using charisma.
