QUANTCONNECT COMMUNITY
Hello Quants,
What are the options to run a fast optimization for cloud version of QuantConnect? I’m trying to find a software that offers optimization features that supports C#, Python or F#. I know Lean is one of the options...any other options out there?
Thanks!

Sorry we don't offer optimization features yet but we're getting close =)

Looking forward to this feature added to QuantConnect! In meantime, do you know a third party software that support this? So, after optimization I could just copy over the code to QuantConnect?

You could perform a Bayesian (Gaussian Process) optimization. This is not ideal as it's manual, and a non smooth evaluation space will require many backtests to probe properly.
Spearmint-lite and other such programs were designed with just this in mind. You could automate the process with the non-lite Spearmint + Lean. Be warned, your evaluation method will determine how overfit the result is.
This project is not useful for this case, but the plots help explain the process very well/fast:

This blog post just came out (I am a big E.P.Chan fan). It does not at all address a fast-solution as you requested, but I found it rather interesting.
