[EquisMetaStock Group] Margin requirement in system tester (MS8.01)

Sorry for the repost but I forgot subject

Hi

I'm trying to understand the way that the system tester want's to
deal with margin. My understanding is that a setting of 50% margin
means that I put up half and the rest is borrowed.

When I run this in the system tester with initial equity set to
$10,000 the test is run with about $15,000 total investment, ie $7500
from me and the same borrowed. For some reason it leaves me with
cash of about $2500.

If I set initial equity to $13,333, then $10k of mine is used
together with $10k borrowed. This seems an odd way of getting the
results I require.

I know of other problems with the system tester and with help from
this forum I have learned useful work-arounds.

Is this another software problem or am I missing something?

Any help is appreciated.

Regards

Haders
