lean cloud live deploy
Introduction
Start live trading for a project in the cloud.
$ lean cloud live deploy [OPTIONS] PROJECT
Description
Starts live trading for a cloud project.
Before starting live trading, the CLI shows an interactive wizard letting you configure the brokerage, data provider, live node, and notifications.
After starting live trading, the CLI displays a URL to the live results.
You can use the --open flag to automatically open this URL in the browser once the deployment starts.
If you specify the --brokerage and --data-provider-live options, the interactive wizard is skipped and the command runs in non-interactive mode.
In this mode, the command doesn't prompt for input or confirmation and reads all configuration from the provided command-line options.
In non-interactive mode, all options specific to the selected brokerage become required, as well as --node, --auto-restart, --notify-order-events, and --notify-insights.
In case a required option has not been provided, the command falls back to the property with the same name in your Lean configuration file.
The command aborts if this property also hasn't been set.

If you omit some of the required options when running in non-interactive mode, the CLI uses the option values in your LEAN configuration file.
Example non-interactive usage:
$ lean cloud live deploy "My Project" \
--brokerage "Paper Trading" \
--data-provider-live QuantConnect \
--node "My Node" \
--auto-restart yes
--notify-order-events no \
--notify-insights no \
--push \
--open
If you have a local copy of the cloud project, you can use the --push option to push local modifications to the cloud before starting live trading.
