Qc

Qc is a commandline tool that lets you sync and run your QuantConnect backtests.

Installation

Qc is distributed as a ruby gem. You can install it with:

gem install qc

Workflow

1. Run qc login for introducing your QuantConnect credentials
2. Run qc init on the directory that contains your QuantConnect algorithm
3. Execute qc to sync and backtest your algorithm in QuantConnect

Usage

qc [command]

The supported commands are:

Command	description
qc login	It will ask for the api credentials you can find in your QuantConnect account page. They will be stored in ~/.qc. You only need to login once.
qc logout	Logout from QuantConnect clearing the credentials stored locally.
qc init	Initialize the directory of the algo project you are working on. It will ask for a QuantConnect project to link your algo with. You need to run this once for every project you want to sync with QuantConnect.
qc push	Send your local files to QuantConnect. It will only send the files that changed since the last time you run the command
qc compile	Compile your project in QuantConnect
qc backtest	Run the backtest of your algorithm in QuantConnect

When no command is provided, it will execute push, compile and backtest in sequence.

Todo

• Open your backtests after they have finished

Development

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake test to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
