AlexCatarino e5ed09924b Implements BasicTemplateFuturesFrameworkAlgorithm
This algorithm shows how to implement a futures strategy in a framework algorithm.
`FutureUniverseSelectionModel` portfolio selection model was implemented to provide a base class to help create other futures universe selection models.
