Does MT5 BackTester Include Margin

New comment
 

Hello Everyone,

I am newbie to MT5 back testing software.

I am testing a strategy with deposit $2500 and leverage 1:50 with 5 Lots each trade

According to screen shot 5 lots require me to have $1090 margin, so $1410 remaining as a loss cushion

Question:

1. Does the $2500 deposit entered in the software takes into account the $1090 margin required during the back test or does it not consider this?


Sorry I am newbie and confused. 

Thank you,

Of course it does.

Thank you so much Alain for the response. 

So for my example $1410 is used as the max loss?
