Organizations

The community is a great resource for support for developing algorithms. However, for more personalized assistance and privacy, you can submit support tickets to request assistance from a QuantConnect engineer. Premium support allows you to share your algorithms with IP protection and enables the Support Team to address issues with live algorithms. In order to submit a support ticket, you must have a support seat in your organization.

There are three tiers of support seats and each tier provides different services. You can file support tickets to get private assistance with issues, but support tickets should not replace your efforts of performing your own research and reading through the documentation. If you need further assistance than what our Support Team offers, consider hiring an Integration Partner.

The services our Support Team provides depend on the tier of your support seat.

Bug Reports

The Lean trading engine is under constant development, so you may occasionally experience bugs when using it. If you think you have found a bug, share a simple backtest with us that reproduces the issue. You can contact us either through email, Discord, or the forum. We will review your submission. If we confirm you've found a bug, we will create a GitHub Issue to have it resolved. Subscribe to the GitHub Issue to track our progress in fixing the bug.

Email Support

Our support ticket system enables you to privately email with our Support Team. We address support tickets in a first-in, first-out order, but we give priority to tickets opened by members with higher support seats. The following table shows our response time for each of the support tiers:

IP Protection

If you attach a backtest or live trading deployment when you open a support ticket, the intellectual property of your project is protected. We have a restricted subset of the Support Team who can access private support tickets. Using paid support plans ensures only a limited subset of the QuantConnect team can access the algorithms you attach to support tickets. These team members are carefully selected, have been at QuantConnect for at least 2 years, and have passed a background check. In contrast, if you share a backtest or live trading deployment to the forum for assistance, your project becomes part of the public domain.

Live Trading Debugging

Paid support plans have access to our live deployment debugging service. If you experience an issue with a live trading deployment, open a support ticket. We can assist with uncovering the issue, fixing the issue, and getting you ready to redeploy the algorithm. We can't assist with live trading issues in the community forum or Discord.

Algorithm Design Suggestions

If you have a silver or gold support seat, we can offer suggestions on the design of your algorithms. Our Support Team members are experts on the inner workings of Lean, so we can guide you on improving the efficiency of your algorithms by following our common design patterns. We can usually reduce the size of your project's code files and increase the speed of your project backtesting.

Private Chatroom

When you require instant access to our Support team, we can open a private chatroom in Discord. In our private chatroom, you can ask our Support Team questions at any time and we focus on responding as quickly as we can. Request a private chatroom to avoid waiting for email responses on your support tickets.

Phone Call Consultations

We offer phone support to members with gold support seats. You can take advantage of our phone support for up to 1 hour per month. During phone calls, feel free to ask about anything related to QuantConnect, Lean, or quant trading. We recommend planning your questions before you call in order to best utilize the time available.

Local Development

If you have a gold support seat, you can access technical support for the Local Platform, LEAN CLI, and the QuantConnect REST API, which includes installation and subjects that don't apply to the Cloud Platform.
