Leverage setting makes no difference in backtesting
While Backtesting a bot i changed the leverage of the account from 1:00 to 1:10. I was surprised the results where the same.

Shouldn't the results be differ between the 1:10 and the 1:100 when the volumes of the positions are the same?

Hi El Antonio,

No it shouldn't. Leverage is only related to the amount of margin required to open a position. If the volume of the position is the same then the result of backtesting will stay the same.

Best Regards,
