Hi there.
How to ensure that my code doesn't use margin at all ?
In Initialization I use
self.SetBrokerageModel(BrokerageName.InteractiveBrokersBrokerage)
self.securities["symbol".SetLeverage(1)
self.x =(self.Portfolio.TotalPortfolioValue/10 )self.x : is just a variable represent 1/10 of my all portfolio's cash value
in on data method I use
current_cash = self.Portfolio.CashBook[self.AccountCurrency].Amount
self.Portfolio.CashBook.Add(self.AccountCurrency, current_cash + 1, 1)to add my profits to my portfolio's cash value
I'm not sure is this enough to ensure that my code doesn't use margin and use only Cash

Thanks a lot ,it worked . But there is a problem
the back testing doesn't continue like before when I use minute resolution ,it only runs for 45 days and then the back testing stopped, I saw the console and there is a message that says
“Backtest Handled Error: Order Error: id: 6692, Insufficient buying power to complete order (Value:27445.6), Reason: The 'OCGN' security is not supported by this cash model. Currently only SecurityType.Crypto and SecurityType.Forex are supported”
so are there problems in my code , or the equity's data are not fully supported in Qunat connect ?
