"Futures not allowed for live trading" error upon attempt to paper trade or broker trade.

"Futures not allowed for live trading" error upon attempt to paper trade or broker trade. Could someone from Quantopian explain this. Targeted algorithm is not trading Futures, but instead is using them as an indicator to trade valid sids. Why this is not allowed? What particular hurdles are there? How this could be "fixed"?

I am not quite sure, but I believe they are still developing futures for live trading. Usually they don't implement stuff all at once.
