I was reading over the continuous futures implementation and was wondering how this would look for live trading with IB? I understand using an IB data subscription and setting up the algorithm with that as custom data is necessary, but how would that look using multiple assets as SymbolData objects?

Hi Sean Tiffen,
Implementation of continuous futures in live trading is the same as backtesting irrespective of how many assets we have a subscription for we need to store all the relevant data and methods for the assets as SymbolData objects keyed by the symbol irrespective of whether we are using IB or QC data. Please get in touch with support@quantconnect.com for issues regarding live trading.
Best,
