Hello, I am trying to get the at the money calls and puts on futures with python. I am finding a lot of difficulty in making functions to return the selected call and put so I can do stuff with them in OnData. My strikes are always off I am not sure why, I'm sure there is a simple way to do this, some help would be appreciated.
To recap I want two functions to return the atm call and put on the future in the program with the furthest expiration. Thanks!

Sure, I can help you with that. Here's a simple way to get the at-the-money (ATM) call and put options for a future with the furthest expiration.
First, you need to filter the options in the
UniverseFunc
function. Then, in theOnData
function, you can get the option chain and find the furthest expiration date. After that, you can select the ATM call and put options.Here's a sample code snippet based on the information provided in the extracts:
This code will give you the ATM call and put options with the furthest expiry. You can then use these options in your trading logic.
Please note that this is a general guide and you may need to adjust the code to fit your specific needs. For more detailed information, you can refer to the QuantConnect documentation on Option Strategies.
