Hello,
I would like to know if Lean supports arbitrage strategies, that is one strategy that operates on multiple exchanges simultaneously.
Moreover, I read that Lean doesn't support heding (long/short at the same time). There's a technical reason behind this? This can easily be overcome modifying Lean source code?

Hi Max,
You can run the same strategy one multiple different exchanges if you have a Prime or Professional subscription with QC. However, running one strategy deployment that accesses and interacts with multiple brokerages at the same time is not possible. Rather, you could copy-and-paste code into different projects and deploy them separately, with each interacting with a different brokerage.
We currently don't support shorting against the box-style hedging and we don't have any plans to implement this, but you are welcome to suggest improvements and code suggestions via GitHub.
