I would like to add a question to the list as another Canadian looking to make the switch from Quantopian.
Are there any QuantConnect imposed restrictions on any type of account with IB? For instance i would like to code and live trade an algorithm in a TFSA or RRSP account. These accounts at IB are required to have a base currency of Canadian dollars, but there is no restriction to trade in and hold USD. This was a problem with Quantopian because they impose a USD only base currency requirement...
Please comment on any specific account restrictions to trading with QuantConnect.
Thanks
Any answer to this? @VMEUP one way I got across this was to open a non registered FIRST with base currency USD and then TFSA/RRSP can be done in USD base as well. If you open registered accounts first, they will not allow you. I had to do this to trade on Quantopian
We have earmarked the feature to allow trading on other currencies and its sketched out but not started yet. Our base currency is a variable in LEAN; but even with it like that its a substantial amount of work to test throughly to ensure the brokerage currency is supported. We're in a bug fixing / stability focus mode at the moment but will resume feature development in a few weeks.

Hi,
Would it be possible to have an update on the IB account base currency requirement? Is it now possible to connect an IB account with a base currency other than USD?
Thanks!

Jared, if i try to live trade on a EUR IB account (for example) does this simply get rejected or does this lead to portfolio valuations to be incorrect (say USD value but actually EUR) and i need to take extra care to convert to/from EUR?
