Hi, I'm very new to quant world. I did some research and found quantconnect is mentioned as one of the top quant platforms, so I just registered myself and did just a little bit of poking around.
I have a specific task I want to accomplish. I want to test if SPY's weekly volatility(friday market close - Monday market open) follows normal distribution. I just want to know if this is a simple task that can be accomplished with the tools and historical data provided by QuantConnent.
I would really appreciate if someone can give me some hint.
Thanks
Kevin
