QC Backtest Master

Automate the full QuantConnect backtest lifecycle from local code to cloud results, without ever opening the web UI.

What this skill does

When the user asks to backtest a strategy, run a backtest, or submit code to QuantConnect, follow this workflow:

1. Submit & Compile

Upload the user's local .py strategy file to a QuantConnect cloud project, replacing any existing main.py. Trigger compilation and report any errors with line numbers.

python3 submit_backtest.py \
  --main-file <path_to_strategy.py> \
  --name "<backtest_name>" \
  --project-id $QC_PROJECT_ID
