You can define the filter with a Linq expression:
var option = AddOption("GOOG"); option.SetFilter(universe => universe.IncludeWeeklys().Strikes(-2, +2) .Expiration(TimeSpan.Zero, TimeSpan.FromDays(10))); // For weeklys only, change IncludeWeeklys() for WeeklysOnly()The material on this website is provided for informational purposes only and does not constitute an offer to sell, a solicitation to buy, or a recommendation or endorsement for any security or strategy, nor does it constitute an offer to provide investment advisory services by QuantConnect.

I am confused. Will that produce monthly contracts only?

Valery T, sorry. I misundestood your question.
By default we only get monthy contracts. So you don't need to do anything fancy, just use the normal SetFilter:
option.SetFilter(-1, +1, TimeSpan.Zero, TimeSpan.FromDays(60));The material on this website is provided for informational purposes only and does not constitute an offer to sell, a solicitation to buy, or a recommendation or endorsement for any security or strategy, nor does it constitute an offer to provide investment advisory services by QuantConnect.
