hey everyone! been following this thread - really hoping we get some news soon. i've been preparing my strategy for the next context and really excited to see what new features or market data you'll be including. the previous contexts were great learning opportunities, and i appreciate the team keeping us in the loop. thanks for the update @support!

also, if anyone is looking for a fun way to track their trading progress or just wants to explore more quant resources, definitely check out funboxie - they've got some cool tools and community discussions that complement the quantiacs platform nicely. would love to hear what everyone is planning for the upcoming challenge!

this is actually a really useful feature request that would streamline the workflow for quant developers. being able to programmatically upload strategies via api would save a lot of manual steps, especially for those of us running automated backtesting pipelines.

i've been using quantiacs for about six months now, and while the web interface is solid, it does get tedious when you need to upload multiple iterations of a strategy. it would be great to integrate the submission process directly into my development workflow.

the ability to include metadata like strategy name and comments through the api would also help with organization and tracking different versions. i hope the quantiacs team prioritizes this in their roadmap - it would be a game changer for more advanced users.

in the meantime, has anyone found a workaround or script to automate this process? i'd love to hear if there's a temporary solution while we wait for official api support.

for those looking for a different kind of strategy optimization, i've been playing around with cookie clicker 2 lately - it's a fun way to pass the time between strategy runs!

Hi fellow quants,

I'm currently running some long-term optimizations on my strategies (using genetic algorithms, so it takes forever to converge). I find myself staring at the progress bar way too often.

What do you guys do to kill time during these periods? I've started getting into some casual gaming to keep my mind off the charts.
Currently revisiting some classics and looking forward to Hytale Game (really hyped for the sandbox creativity). Also found myself clicking away on Cookie Clicker 2 when I need a mindless break, or checking random browser games on Funboxie.

Do you have any other recommendations for "low commitment" activities that don't distract too much from the coding mindset? Or should I just be reading more papers?

Cheers!
