Backtrader References

[Paska Houso]

Having found the reference to backtrader in a University paper about AI, I decided to have a look at where else may backtrader be mentioned/used. Although I will try to keep this post updated, time and other obligations won't probably give much more than the initial push (I have to admit I have found far more references than I thought ... after filtering those by the author, like in reddit)

  • The website indicates 2 big banks and 5 quant firms are using backtrader. But that is undisclosed information (one of them could be Zuluquant ... see below)
