get proper order size based on margin
get proper order size based on margin

i was to accomplish the following:
lets assume we have 10k USD free margin.
if a order is placed it should use a multitude of that margin for the position size.
in a Forex USD based pair thats easy to do but it gets alot more difficult if the asset is not forex and/or the account is in a different currency or the symbol does NOT start with USD
[Parameter("Volume Multiplicator", DefaultValue = 8, MinValue = 0, Step = 1)] public double VMulti { get; set; }
i'm getting a multiplicator to set for the position size from settings
double x = Account.FreeMargin * VMulti; double z = Symbol.VolumeInUnitsToQuantity(x); double _volume = Symbol.NormalizeVolumeInUnits(x, RoundingMode.Down); ExecuteMarketOrder(signalLine.TradeType, Symbol, _volume, "auto entry", null, null);
that code however works ONLY on a forex pair starting with USD and calculates based on USD instead of the account currency.
is there a way to do this so it takes the cost of the asset in account in relation to the account currency ?
