QuantConnect Introduces LEAN CLI Service

Open-source algorithmic trading platform QuantConnect made an announcement recently that a new LEAN CLI service is about to be launched. It is a tool that helps quantitative analysts (quants) leverage the company's LEAN Algorithmic Trading Engine for their algorithmic trading research.

All friction in design, debugging, and executing an algorithmic trading environment will be removed by the service, allowing quants to focus on development. Quantitative traders can quickly and easily synchronize their projects on QuantConnect.com with their local drive, download a financial data store, and backtest on their own computers. By abstracting away multiple setup processes with just one set of commands, workflow that used to take hours of setup can now be completed in minutes and with minimal coding effort.

"Our new LEAN CLI lets users efficiently mix and match cloud and local workflows to best suit their computing and live trading needs. With the CLI, quants can now download their code and financial data from the cloud, run and debug their backtests, run their optimizations, and then upload their changes back into the cloud and start live trading in just a few minutes and with just a few lines of code." QuantConnect Founder and CEO Jared Broad said.

The service will be cross-platform compatible, enabling development and debugging across the most popular coding environments, including PyCharm, Rider, VS Code etc. Quant traders may download QuantConnect peer-reviewed financial data directly into their preferred local development environment and run backtests and research using the same data and technical stack that they're running on the cloud, allowing them to quickly and easily identify and fix any issues with their strategy.
