Trying to use C# precursor directives for debugging purposes.
I can add the IF/ENDIF just fine i.e.
But when I try to add the associated DEFINE to use this the compiler tells me it must appear as the first non-whitespace character on the line. Which it appears to be but for some reason the C# compiler thinks line 1 has 1147 columns when it only has 14.
I tried refreshing the page but that didn't help.
What am I doing wrong here?

Correct they are not supported because we add some pre-code to each file to make using the IDE easier (all of the using statements).

Ok understood, thanks for getting back to me Jared it is greatly apprecaited.
So if I were not to use the web based IDE and got Quantconnect working in Visual Studio I could use precursors, but would have to add the using statements myself? Or are precursors use banned altogether?
