Hi, I'm a newbie at QC. I have a sophisticated program in MT4 that works well with Binary Options, but I see a lot of benefits in moving to QC. Are there any templates to help me get started with Binary Options, and are there any tools to trigger API calls to my broker. It seems none of the QC associated brokers do Binary Options? I do mostly 5 minute long trades - Is there a way to see such periods on a chart and is there tick data for back testing available e.g. FXCM

Please checkout our database here.
We do not support binary options.
Support for vanilla and index options is about to be released. For these, we have NBBO data.
There is no tools to trigger API calls to brokerages that are not supported by QuantConnect. However, since QuantConnect engine is open-source, you can implement your brokerage and run it locally.
