Unfortunately we don't support a Future universe of that scope. Note that the Future data is a universe in and of itself - the slice data in OnData will have a FuturesChains, that contains all subscribed future data, then a FutureChain, which will contain a chain of contracts for the specific ticker.

I believe I read that the futures contracts data is from Interactive Brokers and you need an account. In this case, you could set up a custom universe. Something along the lines:
self.AddUniverse(AllFutures, "myAllFutures", Resolution.Daily) class AllFutures(PythonData): def GetSource(self, config, date, isLiveMode): return SubscriptionDataSource(@"your-remote-universe-data", SubscriptionTransportMedium.RemoteFile)
To read all the remote data into a universe. I haven't done remote data though.
