Hello,
100 entered as "margin requirement" (default value) means
that you don't borrow anythign from your broker (your cash is 100% of buying power).
Zero entered as "margin requirement" means that you borrow everything from your broker
(your cash is 0% of buying power) - as this is not possible to trade with NO OWN funds
then you won't see any trades.
So actually it is correct behaviour.
In the future version I may add a warning or something to prevent entering numbers that make no sense.
Best regards,
Tomasz Janeczko
