I want to operate in continuos future market 6E using AddFuture method, but my system nevers operate. I know that continuos contract can't use for operate, I use the future.Mapped to operate. I manage the contracts in the following way:
def Initialize(self):
...
self.continuous_futureEC = self.AddFuture(
ticker = Futures.Currencies.EUR,
resolution = Resolution.Minute,
market = "CME",
extendedMarketHours = True,
dataNormalizationMode = DataNormalizationMode.Raw,
dataMappingMode = DataMappingMode.OpenInterest,
contractDepthOffset = 0
)
self.continuous_futureEC.SetFilter(lambda future_filter_universe: future_filter_universe.StandardsOnly().FrontMonth())
self.contract = None
def OnData(self, slice):
if self.contract is None:
self.contract = self.continuous_futureEC.Mapped
if not self.ec.contract: return
if slice.SymbolChangedEvents.ContainsKey(self.continuous_futureEC.Symbol) and self.continuous_futureEC.Mapped.SecurityType == SecurityType.Future:
if self.Portfolio.Invested:
self.Debug("Liquidamos posiciones")
self.Liquidate(self.contract, tag="Cambio de vencimiento")
self.contract = self.continuous_futureec.Mapped
...

Based on the information provided in the extracts, it seems like you are on the right track with using the
Mappedproperty of the continuous future for trading. TheMappedproperty references the currently selected contract in the continuous contract series. As the contracts roll over, theMappedproperty references the next contract in the series.However, there might be a few issues with your code.
Firstly, in your
OnDatamethod, you are checking ifself.ec.contractexists, butself.ecis not defined anywhere in the provided code. You might want to replaceself.ec.contractwithself.contract.Secondly, in the
OnDatamethod, you are checking ifself.continuous_futureEC.Mapped.SecurityType == SecurityType.Future, butself.continuous_futureEC.Mappedis aSymbolobject, not aSecurityobject. You should useself.Securities[self.continuous_futureEC.Mapped].SecurityTypeinstead.Here is the corrected code:
