Robinhood Gold | DOES IT WORK

I don't care if its not supported officially. how does it show up in live trading - or does quantopian just lock you out entirely. Mainly, I need to know if "order_target_percent(stock, 1.5)" will order with all of my cash plus 50% margin.

Yes, you can place orders via Quantopian with a Robinhood Gold account. You are not 'locked out'. The Quantopian dashboard just needs some interpretation. The Robinhood dashboard updates fine. The code you suggested won't generally work because you won't have 50% margin available all the time. A gold account only gives you a fixed dollar amount of margin.

Take a look at these two posts for some examples.
