Hi,
I'm trying to run an algo locally on Binance and the algo is trading BTCBUSD. I've got a small balance of PAXG on my account which is not connected to the algo but when it connect's LEAN is correctly picking up the small amount there. When it does that it throws an error and exits. I've tried adding PAXG as a Crypto to get it to setup a feed but no luck.
20211001 16:37:30.616 ERROR:: Engine.Run(): During the algorithm initialization, the following exception has occurred: System.ArgumentException: No conversion path found
between source currency PAXG and destination currency USD
The closest I've got to an answer is here where it seems the Binance brokerage isn't released yet so maybe this is a known issue that will be fixed when it is released?
Thanks,
Tim.

Hi ID349080423
Sorry for the delay. Although we do not support PAXGUSD directly, PAXGBUSD (Binance USD) is supported, and it is convertible to USD Tether by BUSDUSDT. Thus, the base currency has to be set as USDT/BUSD. Please contact support@quantconnect.com for live trading assistance.

Thanks for your reply.
I put in the following line into my algo init
self.SetAccountCurrency("USDT/BUSD"); # Change account currency
Then I got the error but for USDT/BUSD, is the line above the correct way to set the base currency?

Hi ID349080423
Using either one as the base currency is fine, as trading pairs cannot be used as the base currency.
