[EquisMetaStock Group] Margin setting in MS 8.01

Hi

I'm having problems with the margin settings in the system tester.

If I set long initial margin to 50%, I should be able to spend 2x my 
equity.
However when I check the trades, there is always cash left over after 
a long trade is taken.  This is about 50% of initial equity.

On the short side it uses all available purchasing power. With short 
initial margin set to 150%, I get to use full 50% margin. 

Any help with an explanation would be appreciated.

Regards

Haders
