Would like to backtest with using 2x or 3x leverage.
I tried setting the Margin (Settings->Margin) to 200%, but the tool doesn't allow me to set above 100%.

How do i simulate leveraged portfolios?

thanks
Kiran

Hi Kiran,

Edit your trading system, select "Settings -> Capital" then change the "Margin Factor" field from 1 to 2.
