Hi there,
New here so not sure if this is the right place to post - but had a few questions:
Is there a guide to setup up paper trading M6E (EUR/USD Micro Futures) with Interactive Brokers. I'm based in the UK if that makes a difference. Not sure if I need to subscribe to a data feed there.

For trading, everything should already be set up for the M6E contract to be identified in IBFutures.txt. You only need to use the correct symbol for the contract, e.g., M6EH26
For backtesting you might need to enter the contract specs in Tools > Markets & Symbols > Symbols, but I think that should be automatic too as long as the data is source from IB. (Make sure IB is checked in the list of Historical Data Providers).
More info in Help F1 > Extensions > Interactive Brokers.
