Quoting the API manual, see the text in bold:

QUOTE:
FuturesMode
public bool FuturesMode

Set by the backtester, returns true if Futures Mode was enabled for this backtest.


Wealth-Lab sets it, you can neither do it nor have the need in it. What you can do in order to get it working is simply configure your symbol or market in Tools > Markets & Symbols.

If it's not clear, you need to enable Futures Mode in Preferences > Backtest > Other Settings.
If your data provider doesn't automatically assign the contract specs, you need to do that in Tools > Markets & Symbols.

Also, when doing 1-time initializations for a strategy, do it in Initialize() or BacktestBegin() - not in Execute(), which is hit for every bar for every symbol in the backtest.
