Hello,
What would happen if I ran an alpha model live on a cash only account (tradier brokerage)? Would it function as normal but just send insights based on the available cash amount? Or would it just not work?
Regards,
MSquared

Hi Msquared,
The AlphaStreamBrokerageModel that's set assumes a margin account is being used. However, we are working on implementing the option to set leverage to 1 (default is 2). Please contact support@quantconnect.com if you're interested in a particular Alpha. We can work with the developer.
Best,
Derek Melchin
