Hi,
When I put limit order for crypo coin, it may need to wait sometime to fulfill. During that time, how can I get the accurate money left (which should be my cash minus the money hold for that limit order), so I can send another limit order?
I tried GetBuyingPower, unsettledCash etc, but it seems cannot work. When I put 2nd limit order, it always told me like below:
Order Error: id: 3, Insufficient buying power to complete order (Value:4579.358), Reason: Your portfolio holds 10000 USD, 9327.8493 USD of which are reserved for open orders, but your
Buy order is for 13468.7 LTO. Your order requires a total value of 4579.358 USD, but only a total value of 667.571342 USD is available.

Hi Henry111,
When we have standing limit orders for BTC, we can calculate the amount of available USD with
usd_total = self.Portfolio.CashBook["USD"].Amount usd_reserved = sum(x.Quantity * x.LimitPrice for x in [x for x in self.Transactions.GetOpenOrders() if x.Direction == OrderDirection.Buy and x.Type == OrderType.Limit and x.Symbol == self.symbol]) usd_available = usd_total - usd_reservedSee the attached backtest for reference.
Best,
