            Thanks both, I have previously used both IDE's, PC for python and VS for .net.

              Wouldn't recommend PyCharm although I use it myself.

              BackTrader is a bag of tricks with a hack on top and PyCharm's tools don't play well with that. Half of your code will be highlighted as problematic, autocomplete rarely works and you can't ask which parameters a function takes.

              If I wasn't so used to PyCharm, I'd probably go with Sublime Text.

                  @kaya I found pylint quite useless, a lot of false errors marked. But maybe it needs more extensive configuration.

                      Which one do you recommend @ab_trader ?
