Securities / Asset Classes / Futures / Requesting Data / Universes

[jaredbroad]

Examples

• Example 0: Expand P under heading "Create Universes" to describe the example below.

• Example 1: Buy / roll underlying (same as Create Universes) without the OnData event handler.

• Example 2: Create indicator on continuous front month contract, trade the current mapped value.

• Example 3: The simplest contango example possible, perhaps using combo orders.

Remember

• Don't use variables that aren't defined.
• Comment every line or few lines.
• Include 40-100 word explanation.
• Declare everything you need each example.
• Copy from IDE to Docs so confirm it works. Copy-pastable examples.
• ALWAYS make Examples.html at the end.

For the new examples in the docs:

• There should be a sentence at the beginning of the <h3>Examples</h3>
  • <p>The following examples demonstrate some common practices for _________.</p>
• Have 1 <h4>Example _: ____________</h4> for each Example.
  • The example should highlight the concepts that were explained on the respective documentation page.
  • Avoid creating tutorial-style content for the text. The text between should at least have a sentence that explains what the algorithm does. "The following algorithm __________:"
  • If there is an opportunity to link some of the text to other pages/sections in the docs, please link it.
  • The example should be a full algorithm in 1 code block, with conventional styling (PEP8 or typical C#; Ask Grok/ChatGPT to help you style/format the code if you need).
  • Test that you can run each example algorithm in QC Cloud w/o error before adding it to the docs.
• If we have a list of Demonstration Algorithms, put them all under <h4>Other Examples</h4>. The sentence under that heading should read <p>For more examples, see the following algorithms:</p>
