Lean CLI

QuantConnect Lean CLI

Build Status PyPI Version Project Status

The Lean CLI is a cross-platform CLI aimed at making it easier to develop with the LEAN engine locally and in the cloud.

Visit the documentation website for comprehensive and up-to-date documentation.

Highlights

Installation

The CLI can be installed and updated by running pip install --upgrade lean.

Note that many commands in the CLI require Docker to run. See Get Docker for instructions on how to install Docker for your operating system.

Note: Some Linux users may need to install tkinter using the following commands:

For Python 3

sudo apt-get install python3-tk

For Python 2.7

sudo apt-get install python-tk

After installing the CLI, open a terminal in an empty directory and run lean init. This command downloads the latest configuration file and sample data from the QuantConnect/Lean repository. We recommend running all Lean CLI commands in the same directory lean init was ran in.

Usage

The Lean CLI supports multiple workflows. The examples below serve as a starting point, you're free to mix local and cloud features in any way you'd like.

A cloud-focused workflow (local development, cloud execution) with the CLI may look like this:

  1. Open a terminal in the directory you ran lean init in.
  2. Run lean cloud pull to pull remotely changed files.
  3. Start programming locally and run backtests in the cloud with lean cloud backtest "Project Name" --open --push whenever there is something to backtest. The --open flag means that the backtest results will be opened in the browser when done, while the --push flag means that local changes are pushed to the cloud before running the backtest.
  4. Whenever you want to create a new project, run lean create-project "Project Name" and lean cloud push --project "Project Name" to create a new project containing some basic code and to push it to the cloud.
  5. When you're finished for the moment, run lean cloud push to push all locally changed files to the cloud.

A locally-focused workflow (local development, local execution) with the CLI may look like this:

  1. Open a terminal in the directory you ran lean init in.
  2. Run lean create-project "Project Name" to create a new project with some basic code to get you started.
  3. Work on your strategy in ./Project Name.
  4. Run lean research "Project Name" to start a Jupyter Lab session to perform research in.
  5. Run lean backtest "Project Name" to run a backtest whenever there's something to test. This runs your strategy in a Docker container containing the same packages as the ones used on QuantConnect.com, but with your own data.

Commands

Note: the readme only contains the --help text of all commands. Visit the documentation website for more comprehensive documentation.

lean backtest

Backtest a project locally using Docker.

Usage: lean backtest [OPTIONS] PROJECT

  Backtest a project locally using Docker.

  If PROJECT is a directory, the algorithm in the main.py or Main.cs file inside it will be executed.
  If PROJECT is a file, the algorithm in the specified file will be executed.

  Go to the following url to learn how to debug backtests locally using the Lean CLI:
  https://www.lean.io/docs/v2/lean-cli/backtesting/debugging

  By default the official LEAN engine image is used. You can override this using the --image option. Alternatively you
  can set the default engine image for all commands using `lean config set engine-image <image>`.

Options:
  --output DIRECTORY              Directory to store results in (defaults to PROJECT/backtests/TIMESTAMP)
  -d, --detach                    Run the backtest in a detached Docker container and return immediately
  --debug [pycharm|ptvsd|vsdbg|rider]
                                  Enable a certain debugging method (see --help for more information)
  --data-provider [Terminal Link|QuantConnect|Local]
                                  Update the Lean configuration file to retrieve data from the given provider
  --download-data                 Update the Lean configuration file to download data from the QuantConnect API, alias
                                  for --data-provider QuantConnect
  --data-purchase-limit INTEGER   The maximum amount of QCC to spend on downloading data during the backtest when using
                                  QuantConnect as data provider
  --release                       Compile C# projects in release configuration instead of debug
  --image TEXT                    The LEAN engine image to use (defaults to quantconnect/lean:latest)
  --python-venv TEXT              The path of the python virtual environment to be used
  --update                        Pull the LEAN engine image before running the backtest
  --backtest-name TEXT            Backtest name
  --lean-config FILE              The Lean configuration file that should be used (defaults to the nearest lean.json)

lean build

Build Docker images of your own version of LEAN.

Usage: lean build [OPTIONS] [ROOT]

  Build Docker images of your own version of LEAN.

  ROOT must point to a directory containing the LEAN repository:
  https://github.com/QuantConnect/Lean

  When ROOT is not given, the current directory is used as root directory.

  This command performs the following actions:
  1. The lean-cli/foundation:latest image is built from Lean/DockerfileLeanFoundation(ARM).
  2. LEAN is compiled in a Docker container using the lean-cli/foundation:latest image.
  3. The lean-cli/engine:latest image is built from Lean/Dockerfile using lean-cli/foundation:latest as base image.
  4. The lean-cli/research:latest image is built from Lean/DockerfileJupyter using lean-cli/engine:latest as base image.
  5. The default engine image is set to lean-cli/engine:latest.
  6. The default research image is set to lean-cli/research:latest.

  When the foundation Dockerfile is the same as the official foundation Dockerfile, quantconnect/lean:foundation is used
  instead of building a custom foundation image.

Options:
  --tag TEXT  The tag to apply to custom images (defaults to latest)
  --verbose   Enable debug logging
  --help      Show this message and exit.

See code: lean/commands/build.py

lean library add

Add a custom library to a project.

Usage: lean library add [OPTIONS] PROJECT NAME

  Add a custom library to a project.

  PROJECT must be the path to the project.

  NAME must be either the name of a NuGet package (for C# projects), a PyPI package (for Python projects), or a path to
  a Lean CLI library.

  If --version is not given, and the library is a NuGet or PyPI package the package, it is pinned to the latest
  compatible version. For C# projects, this is the latest available version. For Python projects, this is the latest
  version compatible with Python 3.8 (which is what the Docker images use). For Lean CLI library projects, this is
  ignored.

  Custom C# libraries are added to your project's .csproj file, which is then restored if dotnet is on your PATH and the
  --no-local flag has not been given.

  Custom Python libraries are added to your project's requirements.txt file and are installed in your local Python
  environment so you get local autocomplete for the library. The last step can be skipped with the --no-local flag.

  C# example usage:
  $ lean library add "My CSharp Project" Microsoft.ML
  $ lean library add "My CSharp Project" Microsoft.ML --version 1.5.5
  $ lean library add "My CSharp Project" "Library/My CSharp Library"

  Python example usage:
  $ lean library add "My Python Project" tensorflow
  $ lean library add "My Python Project" tensorflow --version 2.5.0
  $ lean library add "My Python Project" "Library/My Python Library"

Options:
  --version TEXT  The version of the library to add (defaults to latest compatible version)
  --no-local      Skip making changes to your local environment
  --verbose       Enable debug logging
  --help          Show this message and exit.

See code: lean/commands/library/add.py

lean library remove

Usage: lean library remove [OPTIONS] PROJECT NAME

  Remove a custom library from a project.

  PROJECT must be the path to the project directory.

  NAME must be either the name of the NuGet package (for C# projects), the PyPI package (for Python projects), or the
  path to the Lean CLI library to remove.

  Custom C# libraries are removed from the project's .csproj file, which is then restored if dotnet is on your PATH and
  the --no-local flag has not been given.

  Custom Python libraries are removed from the project's requirements.txt file.

  C# example usage:
  $ lean library remove "My CSharp Project" Microsoft.ML

  Python example usage:
  $ lean library remove "My Python Project" tensorflow

  By default an interactive wizard is shown letting you configure the brokerage and data feed to use. If --environment,
  --brokerage or --data-feed are given the command runs in non-interactive mode. In this mode the CLI does not prompt
  for input.

  If --environment is given it must be the name of a live environment in the Lean configuration.

  If --brokerage and --data-feed are given, the options specific to the given brokerage/data feed must also be given.
  The Lean config is used as fallback when a brokerage/data feed-specific option hasn't been passed in. If a required
  option is not given and cannot be found in the Lean config the command aborts.

  By default the official LEAN engine image is used. You can override this using the --image option. Alternatively you
  can set the default engine image for all commands using `lean config set engine-image <image>`.

  - --constraint "Sharpe Ratio >= 0.5" --constraint "Drawdown < 0.25"

  If --estimate is given, the optimization will not be executed.
  The runtime estimate for the optimization will be calculated and outputted.

Development

To work on the Lean CLI, clone the repository, enter an environment containing Python 3.7+ and run pip install -r requirements.txt. This command will install the required dependencies and installs the CLI in editable mode. This means you'll be able to edit the code and immediately see the results the next time you run lean.

If you need to add dependencies, first update setup.py (if it is a production dependency) or requirements.txt (if it is a development dependency) and then re-run pip install -r requirements.txt.

The automated tests can be ran by running pytest. The filesystem and HTTP requests are mocked when running tests to make sure they run in an isolated environment.

Can build the lean CLI by running python setup.py sdist bdist_wheel from the root of the project and to install it pip install --force-reinstall dist/lean-dev-py3-none-any.whl. To update the commands reference part of the readme run python scripts/readme.py from the root of the project, after installing the new version.

Maintainers can publish new releases by pushing a Git tag containing the new version to GitHub. This will trigger a GitHub Actions workflow which releases the current master branch to PyPI with the value of the tag as version. Make sure the version is not prefixed with "v".
