The university is full of templates that can get you started with the framework.
If you are looking for a strategy to model to get your feet wet with the framework itself I might recommend trying a simple MA crossover as it will get you familiar with the concept of "history" and the RollingWindow object.

Thanks Jonas,
I am looking for example at how do I get a "usable maintenance margin %" in FXCM as opposed to a "usable margin %" ..... Any tricks I should know
Alexandre Catarino
Is the percentage related to what? Initial capital?
We can get a security maintainance margin (nominal), using the ISecurityMarginModel.GetMaintenanceMargin method:
private Security _security; public override void Initialize() { _security = AddSecurity(SecurityType.Forex, "EURUSD", Resolution.Minute); } public void OnData(TradeBars data) { var maintenanceMargin = _security.MarginModel.GetMaintenanceMargin(_security); }Spejbl Hurvinek
Thanks, will try...I am completely new to this and I really appreciate any help .
