It would be great - as most people on QuantConnect are retail investors - to be able to trade the recently introduced micro emini. Is there any plan to introduce them?
One can obviously use the standard e-mini for backtesting (longer data) and then switch to the micro emini for trading live in Interactive Brokers: notional accounts can be 1/10th of what needed for standard emini.

seconded! I also emailed support about this this morning. I didn't know they would be released so soon. I'm excited to get rolling with futures. i Expect a lot more traders on QC will be testing futures algos now . but maybe not. Because forex is super affordable but i still mainly see 80% of posts on these forums are for stock algo's .

Hi,
We will definitely look into it and see if it fits our current system.
Thanks for your suggestion!
