Margin used in backtesting is incorrect v.4.7.7
14 Apr 2023, 01:04

Hi,

It seems that  calculation of margin used in backtesting has some issue. Have a look below with an account with 1:100 leverage.

I got an open position with a volume of 95K€ and margin used is 950€.... margin used should be €95 instead.

Regards

Hi Daniele,

Why €95?

95K/100 = 950 and not 95.
