Hi, I am exploring QC as a platform for backtesting and trading, I would like to test/trade Hong Kong stocks based on data I subscribed via interactive brokers.
I cannot find information about the above in the docs. Is it possible for backtesting and/or live trading with QuantConnect or on a private linux server running LEAN?

Hi Dan
Right now, Hong Kong equities are not suported yet. Since it will take quite a bit of work/resources to map the securities and obtain data, this is likely not happening in a close future.
Alternatively, you may download the IB data in LEAN's format by the toolbox downloader, then backtest locally by importing custom data. You may even try to add this feature for your local usage by referring to the method describe here, although the task will be difficult.
