QUANTCONNECT COMMUNITY
Hi,
I am newbie to quantconnect\lean so apologies if my question is trivial. Is there some documentation of expected data format for futures (daily or minute resolution) so that I can write a custom converter for my own data (something similar to AlgoSeekFuturesConverter I guess).
Many thanks for your help

Hi,
Welcome to QuantConnect! There is some good documentation regarding data handling. Futures data is interesting because it supports both TradeBars and QuoteBars whose properties are documented in the Handling Data section. Specific documentation on Futures is also available, along with algorithm examples that will hopefully assist you in figuring out the format of Futures data. You can also find information about importing custom data in the documentation section. If you have additional questions, continue to post in the forum and our team and the QuantConnect community will do our best to assist you!
Good luck!
