Hello, I am getting a lot of errors in logs like this:
Warning: To meet brokerage precision requirements, order LimitPrice was rounded to 2786.00 from 2785.89Reason is because price is not rounded to tick size for the contract I am trading. Is there a way in QuantConnect to get the tick size, so I could properly round my limit price and not flood the logs with these errors?
I know that I can download symbols database from LEAN source and get it from there, but this seem a bit of an overkill to me. Maybe there is a built-in method for that, but I couldn't find it…
Also, same question I have for a contract multiplier.

Yes, you can get the tick size and contract multiplier in QuantConnect. They are part of the
SymbolPropertiesobject. Here is how you can access them:In this code, replace
"YourSymbol"with the symbol you are trading. Thetick_sizevariable will hold the minimum price variation (tick size) for the security, and thecontract_multipliervariable will hold the contract multiplier for the security.You can then use these values to round your limit price to the nearest tick size and adjust for the contract multiplier.
