What it does
A full stack for systematic trading: turn an idea into Python, backtest it, run it on paper, then — if you explicitly enable it — place real orders, with monitoring throughout. The continuity is the appeal and the danger, since the last step moves actual money and the project says so plainly. Not investment advice. Backtest performance guarantees nothing forward, and the better a strategy looks on historical data the more likely it is overfitted. Apache-2.0.

QuantDinger FAQ
- Is QuantDinger free?
- QuantDinger itself is free, but it needs an API key for an external AI service. That service charges separately, though some have a free tier.
- Do I need to install anything or write code to use QuantDinger?
- It needs the command line. If you are not comfortable typing commands, expect to get stuck during setup.
- Does QuantDinger work on a phone?
- No. It needs a computer.
- Can I use QuantDinger commercially?
- The licence is Apache-2.0, which permits commercial use. Conditions such as keeping the copyright notice still apply, so read the licence text before shipping it inside something.
