Backtesting and Used Margin issue
20 Sep 2024, 19:41

Hi,

it seems used ee margin is not released after the position is closed. See example below after I have closed 1 positions.  I have got 0 open positions but still I got used margin.

Is this a potential bug?

Hi there,

It looks like a bug. Can you please provide us exact steps on how to reproduce this behavior e.g. cBot code, backtesting parameters etc?

Best regards,

Panagiotis

This seems to be the opposite of what I reported below and it can be somehow related.

In my case, both Positions.Count and Account.Margin return 0 inside Positions_Opened().

So far I didn't get any feedback regarding this.
