QUANTCONNECT COMMUNITY
Hello,
I saw in this Github thread, that micro futures had been added for backtesting and live trading. However, documentation has not been updated to included the accessor symbols for the micro futures. Where can we find those symbols? It looks like that thread had been closed before anyone asked about the symbols.
Me and many others really appreciate the time you spent to add the micro futures!
Best,
Critical

Hi CriticalError,
Hehehe this sounds like I am talking to my computer - never a good sign… 😊
Alright.
Symbols for Micros seem to be “all over the place” where they belong - under Securities.Futures, where other Futures are.
For instance, MicroCrudeOilWTI is under Futures.Energies.
If you search for “micro” in https://lean-api-docs.netlify.app/Futures_8cs_source.html, you'll find them all.
