Want help in setting params like contract_size , number_of_lot , maintenance_margin

[Sajil Thamban]

Hi I have a problem I want to set
1- contract size = 100000
2 - number of lots = 2
also want to set a
3 - maintenance margin of 2150 per lot

How do I set it in backtrader??

Also I am going to calculate profit/loss like this -
(buy_price - sell_price) * contract_size * number_of_lot.

Please help me, help will be appreciated

Can you show us the code you have tried so far? Thanks

set up your futures-type commission scheme - Docs - Commission Schemes:
margin is your maintenance margin
mult is your point value, but it seems contract size can be used in your case
number of lots you use in the orders
