If so, please direct me to the Tutorial I need to read ---

Also -- I have Algos and Indicators in C# NinjaTrader NT7 Platform --- Can you connect me to a person

who can Translate C# Codes into Python Codes to use on Quantopian ?

Right now you can only trade US equities on the platform, and we're looking to add Futures in the second half of the year. It's on it's way to getting integrated with Zipline, but not ready yet. Keep an eye out.

As for translating the code, perhaps someone here in the community would like to work with you and help out!

We've been working on adding support for futures. You can see and test the work in progress on zipline. When that pull request is merged, anyone with some data will be able to backtest using futures.

After adding futures to zipline, we'll work towards bringing them into Quantopian. We are going to add historical data, the ability to backtest, a live data source, and, finally, the ability to trade them through Quantopian.
