QUANTCONNECT COMMUNITY
Hello everyone,
I'm very new to the topic of algo-trading and my C# skills are a little rusty.
But from my point of view my (very very basic) code should buy EURUSD, the log says it does. But no trades are executed.
Thank in you in advance for reviewing my code.

It seems that the Order() is not taking the leverage into account.
So the quantity has to be quantity*leverage
Is there any more information on those constraints?
Jared Broad
The quantity here is the number of individual units (not lots). For a MarketOrder of "100" its too small and rounded to 0 (minimum lot size is 1000 units). This is by design as brokerages typically have minimum lot sizes.
If you want more automated / mathematical ways to set this you can use SetHoldings() which takes a percentage of assets where "1" is 100%, and "50" is full utilization of 50x leverage.
There is more information on this in the documentation.
