Hi there,

Can you explain what do you mean when you say it's not working?

Best regards,

Hello and thanks for asking

What i mean the Margin level % criterion which is being applied by Ctrader on live and demo accounts, that is if below 100% no further trades can be executed. and when it is 30% the STOP OUT limit all trades stop and close positions in the order specified by ctrader. When back testing the cbots such criterions are not applied and the cbot continues trading until finishing account balance

Hi there,

Indeed, this behavior is not simulated at the moment. This will be added in a future release.
