Leverag on backtesting.
03 Nov 2019, 23:34

Hello,

Is there any way to set up any lavel of leverage when backtesting ?  If no,  is it possible to do the same as in a real/demo  account ?  For example,  if I have a 1.000 USD  account with leverage 1:10, in order to have the same scenario in backtesting, should I change the "Starting Capital" to 10.000 USD ?

Regards,

Enoque.

Hi Enoque,

The leverage used during backtesting is the leverage of the trading account used. If you want to have the same scenario in backtering and real execution then you need to have the same starting capital. If your account is 1.000 then your backtesting starting capital should also be 1.000.

Best Regards,

Panagiotis
