- I've paid for a researcher seat to be able to write code locally
- I followed this installation instruction: QuantConnect Local Platform Installation Guide for macOS.
- I created a new project using the command: lean project-create --language python "Seed Project".
- I opened the project in VS Code.
- I encountered multiple messages such as:
- Import "AlgorithmImports" could not be resolved.
- "QCAlgorithm" is not defined.
- "Resolution" is not defined.
- "Slice" is not defined
I'm new to the Lean Engine Framework. Could someone advise what have I missed.
Here is my code:
# region imports
from AlgorithmImports import *
# endregion
class SeedProject(QCAlgorithm):
def Initialize(self):
# Locally Lean installs free sample data, to download more data please visit https://www.quantconnect.com/docs/v2/lean-cli/datasets/downloading-data
self.SetStartDate(2013, 10, 7) # Set Start Date
self.SetEndDate(2013, 10, 11) # Set End Date
self.SetCash(100000) # Set Strategy Cash
self.AddEquity("SPY", Resolution.Minute)
def OnData(self, data: Slice):
"""OnData event is the primary entry point for your algorithm. Each new data point will be pumped in here.
Arguments:
data: Slice object keyed by symbol containing the stock data
"""
if not self.Portfolio.Invested:
self.SetHoldings("SPY", 1)
self.Debug("Purchased Stock")

Based on the information provided in the extracts, it seems like you've followed the correct steps to set up Lean on your local machine. The error messages you're encountering in VS Code might be due to the Python interpreter not recognizing the QuantConnect-specific imports and classes.
Here are a few things you can try:
Make sure you have installed the Lean CLI correctly. You can do this by running
pip install lean
in your terminal.Initialize Lean with the
lean init
command.Ensure that your Python environment has access to the necessary QuantConnect libraries. You might need to install the
QuantConnect.Lean
package in your Python environment.Make sure your Python interpreter is correctly set in VS Code. You can select the interpreter by clicking on the Python version in the bottom-left corner of the VS Code window.
If you're still encountering issues, it would be helpful to know more about the specific error messages you're seeing. The QuantConnect community is very active and might be able to provide more specific guidance if they know more about the issues you're encountering.
