Firstly THANK YOU for all the hard work that went into this project and especially that it is also presented as an open source project!
Seconldly: I am a newbie and are trying to get my head around debugging my first algo locally by downloading and installing the CLI like in this tutorial
Forgive me if I missed it but I battle to find the prerequisites, before the Login details (UserID and token) is emailed so that one can log into quantconnect from my local lean CLI to be able to debug en backtest locally. In the different plans I can see that it is not allowed on the free package but it seems it is possible on the paid ($8) plan? (I paid but I did not receive an email with these details after 2 weeks and on the tutorial it seems immediately as an automated process. Any idea what I could do wrong or missed?)
Thirdly: My aim is to do live trading on the Binance Crypto exchange, and it seems it is recently during 2021 supported but only for a local installation or a special modified instance on quantconnect for a trading company. Please tell me I am wrong and it is possible as a standard option on quantconnect and also what is the prerequisites or process to start live trading on Binance.
Thanks again for the time, detail and dedication the team put into improving, this awesome project.

Hi JohanL,
You can request your user id and API token by clicking on “Request Email With Token and Your User-Id for API Requests” in the Security section at the bottom of your account page. After clicking this link you should receive an email with your API credentials.
You're correct that Binance is currently not a supported brokerage on QuantConnect. To start live trading on Binance locally I advise you to read the Local live trading page of the CLI documentation, which explains exactly what you need to do for each brokerage.

Hi Jasper
Thanks for your time and answer especially pointing me to a binance solution..
I have tried numerous times your advice, to click on “Request Email With Token and Your User-Id for API Requests” in the Security section at the bottom of my account page. It every time says that it is send successfully but I am not receiving it. I just now tried it again but still no success.
I looked in my spam and tested my email account again. I however Do receive your normal invoice and regular newsletters via email so it seems my email is working but that specific (UserID and token) email I am not receiving.
Is there another way that you can help me with that detail so that I can properly start with the local lean?
Thanks for your time

Thanks for this feedback Jarred,
I now see you answered this discussion 18 h ago but only read it now.
For what it is worth, from my side, an hour ago I upgraded my account by adding a backtest and research seat as add-on on my account. After that upgrade were paid and went through I again requested the userID and token and lo and behold it went through to my email and I can now start using that API via logging into Quantconnect.
I was however not able to whitelist your server on spamcop as you suggest, since I do not have your servers IP (or that is what I could gather there is needed)., I am also not sure what you have done in terms of whitelisting or even sending a separate support email.
But the end result from both our efforts is that I received my details via email! Thanks you!
Kind regards
Johan
