The Quantopian Blog Shutting Down

edited Jun 4, 2019

Dear Quantopian Community,

We're making a change. The forums here have become the go-to source for the community to interact, share ideas, and in general, communicate all things Quantopian. The Quantopian Blog has been a parallel channel which has often gotten overlooked and led to duplicated efforts in community communications. To consolidate and improve our interactions, the Quantopian Blog is being retired later this week.

The top 10 most visited posts from the blog can now be found here:

  1. The Efficient Frontier: Markowitz Portfolio Optimization in Python
  2. Pyfolio -- a New Python Library for Performance and Risk Analysis
  3. Common Types of Trading Algorithms
  4. When Should You Build Your Own Backtester?
  5. 9 Mistakes Quants Make That Cause Backtests to Lie
  6. 7 Best Community-Built Value Investing Algorithms Using Fundamentals
  7. Predicting Future Returns of Trading Algorithms: Bayesian Cone
  8. How to Become a Professional Quant Trader
  9. Quant Strategies Implemented by the Quantopian Community
  10. A Professional Quant Equity Workflow

Keep in mind when you search that the dates for these posts are the same as the original date they were posted on the blog.

We are striving to make these forums the ultimate destination to share new content, answer questions, and engage with fellow community members.

You know, I have been in Quantopian for just a week and I have found more useful information (well structured, well explained, easy to find) in the blog than in the community. So, at least is there the possibility to archive all the articles and not just the top 10?

Regards,

@cyapur Welcome to Quantopian. Glad you found the Blog posts helpful. Take a look at the tutorials and the lecture series for some structured educational resources, the Getting Started Tutorial is especially helpful. Most of the relevant Blog posts have content duplicated in these two venues. That duplication was one of the drivers for this change. Moreover, many of the older Blog posts had code which either wasn't relevant or has been deprecated. The code in the lectures is kept up to date.

I also encourage you to interact with the forums as they are a great learning resource and post questions you have here. We have an engaged community who are very generous with their time and others may benefit from the posts too.
