This may be a dumb question, 
but
Doesn't the performance bond (Margin 
Deposit) number have to change dynamically with the symbol 
value?
It is different for day than for 
night...
So shouldn't this be an array function in 
the code rather than a hard number?
 
So how can I incorporate margin deposit in a 
time statement?
 
margindeposittest = 
IIF(beginmarkethours is between somenumber and somenumber , 
Margindeposit = 3375.00, Margindeposit = 6750.00);
 
Am I on the right track?
Because I would still like the backtester to 
work right...
 
Thanks,
Mr Valley
