Wondering what is the meaning of parameter leverage in AddFuture? I found following code in the documentation at https://www.quantconnect.com/docs/data-library/futures#Futures-Requesting-Futures-Data . What does the default value of 0m mean?
AddFuture(string symbol, Resolution resolution = Resolution.Minute, string market = null, bool fillDataForward = true, decimal leverage = 0m)

Hi Manoj,
Futures have their own margin logic and that value is not used, therefore the value does not mean anything. Refer to the following for further reference.
