I am new to QuantConnect's Lean engine and I am backtesting a strategy locally.

On the website IDE platform I am able to chart custom charts - the price chart, indicators, etc. - but when I run it locally, it does not work and only appears the strategy performance.

If I open the backtesting data file (locally), there is nothing there regarding the custom charts.

 

I've created the charts with this info:

https://www.quantconnect.com/docs/algorithm-reference/charting

 

It works on the online platform, but not locally. I tried searching for info here (but to no avail):

https://www.quantconnect.com/tutorials/open-source/lean-report-creator

 

Is there a way of accomplishing this?

Or do I need to create my own frontend to display this data?

 

Here's an example:

public class Strategy : QCAlgorithm { public override void Initialize() { Chart stockPlot = new Chart( "Trade Plot" ); Series assetPrice = new Series( "Price", SeriesType.Line, "$", Color.Blue ); stockPlot.AddSeries( assetPrice ); Series buyOrders = new Series( "Buy", SeriesType.Scatter, "$", Color.Green, ScatterMarkerSymbol.Triangle ); stockPlot.AddSeries( buyOrders ); Series sellOrders = new Series( "Sell", SeriesType.Scatter, "$", Color.Red, ScatterMarkerSymbol.TriangleDown ); stockPlot.AddSeries( sellOrders ); AddChart( stockPlot ); // (...) } public void OneHourHandler(object sender, TradeBar tradeBar) { Plot( "Trade Plot", "Price", tradeBar.Close ); Plot( "Trade Plot", "Buy", tradeBar.Close ); // (...) } }
