Overall great platform.Great platform, I have been using it for a while now and it really is spectacular, so thanks for the platform.So why am I not giving it 5 stars? Well, as a EU citizen, I can't create algorithms that trades ETFs.For regulatory reasons, I cannot trade ETFs like QQQ, because it doesn't have a KID (nothing to do with QuantConnect).However, QuantConnect has no integrations with any EU exchanges! That means that all of the EU alternatives are blocked, and this is a QuantConnect decision. So even though I can trade the EU ETFs through my broker, and QuantConnect has an integration to the broker, QuantConnect isn't allowing the trade with the EU alternative. Furthermore, since there isn't a single integration with any EU exchanges, I'm blocked from trading ETFs altogether. Just an FYI for any Europeans considering this platform.QuantConnect suggests exchanging the ETF with the corrosponding CFD. This, however, is only feasible for intraday strategies, not for rebalancing strategies that works on higher timeframes since CFDs come with overnight fees from the brokers, quickly adding up.Again, great platform, but as a EU citizen, you're just not prioritized, and you won't be any time soon.
