Default Default Account Size...

I was wondering what is the default account size used in backtesting? Is it $75k, $100k?

Default is no account size. It assumes you have enough cash and just backtests according to the quantity you set out your orders to take. If you feel inclined to use an account size you can set what you want before you run the backtest. On the bottom of the strategy selection window you can choose "By account size" and then define out if you want $75k or $100k.
