Cloud vs Local IDE for python development

Hello, I m new on quantconnect and I m having some issues to start developing strategies. Yesterday, I was using the cloud IDE for python and I got stuck on simple things as I can't see syntax highlighting. On the another hand I download Skylight, to use it on the local, however it doesnt highlight the API syntax. Hoewever, I can see how some people is being able to work properly. so my question is, what is normally people using to develop the strategies ? are you coding straight to the cloud, or working on local and then sync with skylight ? thanks

Thanks Michael!
For posterity, OpeningBreakoutAlgorithm.cs provides an example of risk based position sizing with CalculateOrderQuantity, which indirectly uses GetMaximumOrderQuantityForTargetValueResult with a provided max leverage.
The current market price is used determine the allowed size, but that could be adjusted for a limit price if significantly different, I guess.
