QUANTCONNECT COMMUNITY
Hi All!
Thank you for taking the time to read this!
As part of the live deployment, I am aiming to trade the CFD versions of various ETFs [such as SPY etc] on the Interactive Brokerage platform [which are traded out of the UK IB subsidiary]. The main reason is the increased leverage provided.
My question: how does one provide the tickers to QuantConnect?
For instance: instead of SPY is it SPY-CFD?
Thank you for your help!

Hi Corvin,
To the best of my knowledge, QC does not support CFD via IB yet. I believe I saw CFD via Oanda only. If I am wrong and it is supported, you use AddCfd. If I am right, it is a lot of work to add a market to LEAN. The exact ticker name depends on the broker/market.

Hi Fred!
Thank you for answering the question!
I saw discussions on adding markets, and the masochist in me is keen to pursue this. First I assume I have to build LEAN on my machine, so I'll give that a go.
All the best!
