I'm looking for an IB futures algo (don't care about performance), but something that trades often to test the API connection and to use as a template. I have been learning Python for the last 6 weeks and I just need to learn the structure for futures (equities would be great too). Once again, I'm just starting the learning process and I don't need anything crazy just a simple sequence that I can cut, paste and test.
Thanks you

Hi,
You can use a quick demo algorithm I've attached below as a backtest. You can run this live in the IDE or on you local LEAN if you enter your IB credentials into the config.json.
