April 13

I had a long week of troubleshooting why example code was not running. I just bought a new laptop and had to install all new versions of software, etc. I do not enjoy trouble shooting for fixes on things I am not too familiar with. Constantly googling and trying out solutions and mucking around with configurations on the computer was nerve wrecking. New config changes could potentially cause more problems than I originally had.

I found my installation of the IDE used was set up incorrectly for the QuantConnect Lean Engine that our group is using for this project. I also found that the latest version of Python (3.10) was causing problems with the CLI feature. It was a huge a relief to get those issues ironed out.

This week our team is going to begin exploring more code on algorithms, hopefully. We are meeting our sponsor today to get a better understanding on next steps. Our sponsor has been great in sharing knowledge in this area and has shared important documentation for us to reference as we begin.

I am very thankful to be in this journey others that are really supportive!
