Hello benoit29,
1. If you import an txt file for a specific date, then the existing data for that specific date will be deleted, and NinjaTrader will append the new data.

2. You have to custom code the leverage based on your risk management etc. GetAccountValue for example are good functions for determining position sizing.

3. You cannot change the account while backtesting. It will use the default Simulator account (Backtest).

Please let me know if I can assist you any further.
