Rebalance is a weekly flash briefing of new features and updates for you, our QC community.  In our tenth episode we’re happy to share:

1. Our New Research Environment is Live! We’ve launched a deep integration of QuantConnect with Jupyter Lab! The new research environment lets you access project files from Jupyter to analyze your algorithm classes. We’re aiming to provide the community with a world-class research platform for you to generate awesome algorithms! We can’t wait for you to test it out with your next strategy. Learn more about the news from our Medium publication.
2. Alpha Five Competition Updates! The Alpha Five competition deadline is approaching. All submissions are due by Nov 1st. If you have a question, please send the team a message in the forum. Check out a live feed of the teams on the competition leaderboard from the Alpha Five home page here.
3. An Intuitive Alpha Submission Walk-Through! Jack, part of the Alpha Streams review team, has created a short video on how submitting an Alpha for the Alpha Five Competition is easier than ever. In it, he implements a momentum strategy and uses our new Tiingo News data source to indicate when the market is trending. You can find documentation about our other alternative data sources here.
