SEATTLE–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#algorithmictrading—QuantConnect, an open-source algorithmic trading platform, today announced the launch of their LEAN CLI service, a feature-complete tool that helps quants leverage the company’s LEAN Algorithmic Trading Engine for their algorithmic trading research.
With the launch of the LEAN CLI, QuantConnect eliminates all friction in design, debugging, and executing an algorithmic trading environment, 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.
“At QuantConnect, our first, second, and third priority is to provide the most innovative tools and features for quant traders to make them more productive and enable them to go from idea to implementation as quickly and easily as possible,” QuantConnect Founder and CEO Jared Broad said. “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.”
The LEAN CLI is fully cross-platform compatible and enables development and debugging across the most popular coding environments, including PyCharm, Rider, VS Code, among others. Using the CLI, quant traders can 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.
The LEAN CLI is truly a game changer for quants looking to go from idea, to backtesting, to live trading in as short amount of time as possible and with the minimal amount of friction.
