On Tools->Options->Simulator you can set the account size (and margin factors). In instrument manager you can set the margin requirements per instrument. This should allow you to set up the sim account according your requirements. Please consult the docs for details on these options.
Thank you, however when i check the HELP about the Simulator Tab, i cannot finf any details about margin and maintenance margin, the line are ...blank (no explanation).
Can you point me to the right doc file that i should check ? Because whatever i change the 0.50% to anything else, i do not see a change in the buying power, it does always give me 2x Buying power from my cash, never more.
Can you advise please ?

- the sim account BuyingPower always is 2 times the Initial cash
- you need to set Initial cash of the account and margin value of your traded instrument (in instrument manager) to reflect a 1:100 relationship
- sorry, we have no experience to set up what you are looking for. So my suggestions are just an "educated guess".
