Hello QuantInsti team,
I did a few quantra courses in last 2 months and was satisfied with the content and teching style. Today I checked the blueshift platform from quantra and was surprised to see its modelling on zipline similar to quantopian, so congratulations for making something similar to quantopian available for Indian markets.
I also liked the concept of templates based on common algo concepts like BuyNHold, Pairs, Momentum, Trend etc. Blueshift is in alpha stage and I am sure it will be popular.
I wish to know if quantra wishes to offer it to anybody without taking any of the courses or only to EPAT/Quantra members.
Some of the features I would like to have on blueshift are auto-complete on IDE, API resource suggestion tab, more detailed performance metrics which I am sure would be under consideration.
Congrats again.
I am really glad you find the Blueshift platform useful. While at present avatar, Blueshift somewhat looks like 'Quantopian for Indian market', we have very different set of goals than Quantopian. We built the platform with a vision to make systematic strategies accessible to everyone, across asset classes and markets - not just for institutional quant equity funds in the US. That means we keep the platform available to all no matter what. No enrollment in any of EPAT or Quantra will be necessary to access Blueshift. That also means you will soon see noticeable divergence between Blueshift and Quantopian in terms of innovations and functionality. The features you mentioned are definitely on the top of our minds (along with a really long list of them)!
Thanks once again for your support and feedback. We very much appreciate it and would like to see them keep coming.

Thanks for reply. Good to know Blueshift will be available as a standalone app. One very importatnt thing is the ability to deploy the same code developed in IDE for the live/paper trading environment instead of using broker’s APIs.
Quite there with you on that point! We are trying to make switching between back-testing and live trading just a one-click affair - without any change in the strategy code
can you share some code for education purpose??
i have some quant logic but i am not able to create proper system…can you help me???
