Thanks for this Rajats179 .
I need to get weeklies for the SPX index, so I'm going to give this a try.
Do you know if this is the best-practice way to do this / is this recommended by the QC team?

to be honest I swithed from this to using the below instead because i had some issues with options universe I just don't remember what it was... .ekz.
self.option = self.AddOption(self.symbol, Resolution.Minute) self.option.PriceModel = OptionPriceModels.CrankNicolsonFD() self.option.SetFilter(-10, 0, timedelta(self.t1DTE), timedelta(self.t2DTE))Jared Broad
Index Options/SPX don't have weeklies sorry EKZ (they are different tickers to the ones we've added), it's not on the plan to add it as the amount of data is enormous. And Index Options are not even officially released =D so please don't judge too harshly! This will be announced soon, it was requested by a business sponsoring LEAN so if they want weeklies we can see what we can do =)
