Hi all,
My understanding of SetHoldings()/CalculateOrderQuantity() is that it will use the total portfolio value as its calculations. So if 90% of my portfolio are in existing holdings, and I wanted to SetHoldings(symbol, .2) I will not be able to fulfill the order because it is attempting to use 20% of my total portfolio.
Is there an equivalent method to using remaining buying power and percentages? In the above example, it was will 20% of the remaining unallocated 10% of my portfolio (2%)?

Hey pcnpj,
You can access the remaining margin with
margin = self.Portolio.MarginRemainingYou can then distribute this margin amongst the securities you wish to buy.The buying power for a security is the leverage multiplied by the margin
buyingPower = security.Leverage * marginYou can then calculate the corresponding order size by dividing by the price of security
orderSize = buyingPower / priceBest

Thanks Rahul, I was going to go that route but was just curious if there was a method I couldn't find in documentation.
I will use this method. Thanks!
