Crypto Trading with QuantConnect (C#)

Learn to write C# algorithms that algorithmically trade cryptocurrency on QuantConnect, backtest with historical data, and run live trades with real money. No prerequisites; code along through hands-on lessons.

Learn to build your first QuantConnect crypto algorithm in C#, implementing a buy-and-hold strategy with initialization, data handling, and backtesting.

Create a custom crypto trading template in QuantConnect using a target and stop percent to automate exits. Clone the project to build my custom crypto template for safe experimentation.

Develop a simple trailing stop crypto trading strategy in QuantConnect (C#), updating a dynamic stop using max logic, with backtesting, order event logging, and dictionary notation explained.

Implement an ema cross strategy using QC indicators in QuantConnect, with fast and slow periods, position sizing, liquidity checks, and plotting moving averages.

Build a custom candle from scratch with open, high, low, and close data, then replace it with a consolidator to achieve the same results with less code.
