Hi,

Usually, I need to download Binance data, then change symbol name from ‘USDT’ to ‘USD’ (like change from ‘BTCUSDT’ to ‘BTCUSD’), otherwise the local backtest will fail (the error is ‘USDT’ cannnot be currency etc). Then when I use the same algorithm for live trading, I need to change the ‘USD’ back to ‘USDT’ again. 

It is kind of complex for the procedure. Can LEAN CLI now directly support ‘USDT’ for backtest now? So I can directly use same algorithm for both backtest and live trading without any change?

Below was the topic discussed before.  I just want to know if we have some progress or we still need to change ‘USDT’ to ‘USD’ for backtest so far.

 

Thanks,

henry
