Hello Sirs.
Im trying to create a backtest of seasonal intermarket spreading.
Example (Random): On september sell march corn and buy may wheat. and exit n days after.
Im trying to do that, but i dont know how to select symbol for futures by month.
Can anyone help me please?
Thanks for all!!!

Hey @jesus-from-quantarmy
Let's say you wanted to buy these contracts in september. You could simply look if you find yourself currently in september otherwise close the open positions:
If you wanted to close them after n_days I have another code attached(backtest).
Another thing you could use are scheduled events
Hope it helps;)
