I really enjoy the QuantBook, I want to conduct research on my algorithms and export my findings to a PDF. Is that possible to do from the QuantBook?

As of my last update, directly exporting findings or reports from QuantBook to a PDF is not a built-in feature within the QuantConnect platform. QuantBook is primarily used for research and analysis within the QuantConnect environment, allowing users to fetch data, perform computations, and visualize results using Python code in Jupyter notebooks.
However, there are a few approaches you could take to achieve a similar outcome:
Manual Conversion: You can manually convert your Jupyter notebook (.ipynb file) containing your QuantBook research into a PDF. This can be done using Jupyter's "Download as" feature, selecting PDF via LaTeX (.pdf) option, or by using nbconvert command in a terminal:
Note that this requires having LaTeX installed on your machine for the conversion to work.
Export to HTML then to PDF: Another approach is to first export your notebook to HTML and then use a tool to convert the HTML file to PDF. This can sometimes provide more control over the formatting.
And then use a tool like wkhtmltopdf to convert the HTML file to PDF.
Use Python Libraries: You can use Python libraries such as
matplotlibfor creating figures andpandasfor data frames within your QuantBook research. Then, use libraries likereportlabormatplotlib'ssavefigto save figures directly to PDF files. This requires a bit more manual work to organize your findings into a report format.External Documentation Tools: Tools like LaTeX or Markdown editors can be used to write your findings and include code snippets and visualizations exported from your QuantBook research. You can then compile these documents into PDFs.
Remember, while exporting data or findings directly from QuantConnect might have limitations due to data licensing agreements, you can always document your research findings, methodology, and results in external reports following the platform's guidelines.
If QuantConnect has introduced a direct feature for exporting QuantBook findings to PDF after my last update, I recommend checking the official documentation or forums for the most current information.
