Hi all,
I'm looking to put together a very simple multi symbol futures MA crossover which only trades the front month, but now sure why no data is being received as no trades are being made.
Cheers

Hi Mike A,
We recommend going through the following docs regarding using futures. We also recommend using the symbol object as the key instead of a security object. Please refer to the following algorithm for example, on using indicators with futures. Refer to the demo algorithm attached
