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.
