1) is there a way to code easylanguage to verify how much margin are used and whether there are sufficient buying selling power to cover margins to open existing position on interactivebrokers?

2) is there a way to priortise which symbol to load first for having many symbol charts opens with each having a auto trading strategy on each symbol for interactivebrokers?

1. Yes, use the reserved word "margin" and it will return the margin info which is inputted in QuoteManager. As for sufficient buying power, you would need to do your own calculations after inputting a starting account balance and then tracking PnL throughout the day.

2. Not that I know of.
