[amibroker] Re: Minimum Account Margin setting

["ss_aussie" <ss_aussie@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello Dave

I am also attempting to test a margin system as I trade CFDs.  With 
CFDs there is sometimes 1% margin and I have found that setting the 
margin setting under settings to anything less than say 50 returns 
some strange trades in the backtester.

Have you had a reply on this, and if so, what was the response?

Not sure if I need to use futures mode, but I am also not sure about 
how to set contract size etc. in this mode to get it as close as 
possible to my system.

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks in advance,
Sam
