Hello,
I use Cash (don't want Margin yet)
stockPicked = self.AddEquity("TQQQ", Resolution.Minute)
stockPicked.SetDataNormalizationMode(DataNormalizationMode.Adjusted)
self.SetBrokerageModel(BrokerageName.InteractiveBrokersBrokerage, AccountType.Cash)
I like to have a logic to avoid insufficient fund error at all by two ways I can think of.
- Handling “insufficient fund error”. If this error occurs, I like to avoid any logic for buying for the date.
- Before buying with “SetHoldings” I like to check if there is enough purchasing power in advance. So, I only put order when there is enough purchasing power.
Is there a way to do it? If so, could you share the code or link to the code?
Thank you in advance!

Good luck!
