I have a basic question, sorry I am new and it might seem like a silly question to few people here.
I have a UI where I can enter parameters lets say TSLA (TESLA), buy price and quanity for June 7th 2018.
Now These UI parameters are passed to a webservice. In this web service, how can I take these parameters and run a specific algorithm on quantconnect platform
I have seen quantconnect UI, where you can write algorithm and run it there and send to live broker. But that is not practical, I want the user entered parameters in my application to be passed to this algorithm that can be run on quantconnect platform -> live trading broker.
Please advise. Thanks a lot.

Hi GS - you can get from a web service with the Download API. Then decode this and use the variables as you wish!

Sorry just re-read your post -- you can use the QuantConnect backtest/live platform in another application via API but you need to discuss with us first to make sure it'll scale etc as needed. Drop me an email =)
