I get this error when placing a market order through the QC UI:
Brokerage Warning: Order failed, Order Id: 1 timestamp: 12/24/2017 11:42:56 PM quantity: 0.004 content: {"message":"Margin currently not available for BTC-USD"}
I do have cash to cover 0.004 BTC... Any suggestions would be appreciated

The docs show a little on how you can set leverage when using AddX(). You an also use it on an asset after the fact like so.
With universes(coarse/fine) managing assets, you can use self.UniverseSettings.Leverage as seen here.
To understand what SetBrokerageModel is doing, you can read about that here. You will need AccountType set to Margin. Once you have the margin account being modeled, you can mess with leverage over 1, or the value that you set per asset/universe.
