I agree that the margin option doesn't appear to work properly. I'd
think it would also be reflected in POSITIONSIZE but the only way I
can increase these is to increase my equity.
If I set my margin to 25% or 50%, my exposure is reduced in the
backtest results but that seems to be the only effect.
