Hello All,
New to QuantConnect and trying to figure out how to 1. use the optimizer and 2. set up my local desktop for running backtests and optimization. I have Visual Studio compiling and building the project. The video I found on YouTube seems outdated.
Thank you,
Michael

Hi Michael,
Please see this thread on how to use the optimizer. To use the local IDE for development, check out Skylight, or you can run backtests using CLI. If you want to run backtests locally using local data, please see Lean.
Best,
Shile Wen
