Currently we are facing some data issues, the error is not caused by changes in qnt library. At the moment, only current index members of S&P500 index are available, but Nasdaq100 stocks are temporarily unavailable. Sorry for the inconvenience, we are working on a solution.
@dark-pidgeot Hi! After the release of version qnt “0.0.402” the issue with data loading in the local environment has been resolved. The library now uses newer dependencies, including pandas version 2.2.2.
You can send correlated strategies to the same contest but you cannot send a strategy that is highly correlated with the templates, your strategies from the past contests or prize winning strategies from previous contests.
I still think something is wrong with this correlation checker. I even used this function to randomize the weights a few times, and I got the same correlation error:
You don't need to specify the output path nor any other environment variable when submitting your code. If you're using local development option to create a strategy, you should remove setting environment variables manually since those are created automatically after you submit your strategy so no need to worry about that and it is actually advisable to do it that way.
