I am trying to handle rolling futures and would like to roll based on OI. I am having problems figuring out how often the futures chain is passed through the OnData. I am using minute resolution and am not getting any futuresChains data. I assume this data comes in once per day?
I have two questions:
- What is the resolution of the FuturesChain OnData?
- How do you filter through this? I have copied this example from the documentation and the forum but it seems like I have no luck. (For a reference example I used this)
Thanks in advance!

I solved this on my own. For good order, here is the working code. I believe the problem was the self.future.setFIlter

Won't let me edit but should use the if str(security_holding)[:2] == str(contract)[:2] instead of [:3] because some of the futures use 2 characters and a year code instead of a space.
