QUANTCONNECT COMMUNITY
Hello all,
I've searched for topics but could not find relevant info.
I am wondering if we build margin trading strategies while in backtesting with a bitfinex account?
If not, what are the possible ways to do that using lean or etc.
Thanks in advance!

Hi Kaan,
It is possible to trade cryptocurrencies with margin for Bitfinex. We will need to set our brokerage model to Bitfinex, which supports margin accounts
#In Initialize self.SetBrokerageModel(BrokerageName.Bitfinex, AccountType.Margin) self.AddCrypto("BTCUSD", Resolution.Minute, Market.Bitfinex)We can also set the leverage for that security.
# In Initialize # 3x Leverage self.Securities["BTCUSD"].SetLeverage(3)Now we can short and use leverage when trading cryptocurrencies. Learn more in the documentation on brokerage models.
Best
