# QuantConnect Lean hack to enable backtesting against an installed version of Lean
# instead of docker.  
#
# The motivation: 1) lean-cli option data generation is broken, 2) generated data
# are not readable with the docker framework, 3) a way to debug Lean to get a better
# understanding how it works.
