No, not possible. By the way how would I be able to calculate any profit/loss
and other stats (like exposure)?

You may however set "margin requirement" in the settings to 10 for example
and your buying power will be 10x your cash.

You may use old backtester (click "Backtest" instead of "Port. backtest").
This will take all trades, and summary report will show summed up %Wins, etc.
