Hi
I'm wondering if anyone can help me set up a custom margin model for leveraged ETFs. I've looked through the docs, but can't see clearly how to set up a custom model in Python.
Thanks
Jonathan

Did you make any progress with this? I am also looking to do a custom margin model in python, but the above models adjusting fees, slippage, etc but not the margin model. Looking for the python equivalent of what's described here:

Thanks so much for the quick response, and doing the repro and creating the issue! Really appreciated. What might be the rough timeframe that something like this might get implemented?

We are already working on it. It may be available soon.
