Margin & FreeMargin values in Backtesting
28 May 2014, 20:13

In Livetesting: equity = balance + unrealized PL  &  equity = margin + freemargin

How are calculated these items in backtesting and why the behavior is not the same ?

Thanks.

We have checked both formulas in backtesting and live. Regarding to our tests behaviors are the same. If you have a cBot which can show the problem please send it to support@ctrader.com.
