Margin for Forex trading

[cassb]

I have an IB account, and I would like to set up the simulator to give me realistic margins. E.g. right now, I could open a 10M position with only a $100 account. That would not happen with a live account - I would get an error message saying I didn't have enough acct margin to open that position.

So how do you set up the Simulator tab in the Options screen to simulate this for Forex? Do you have an example somewhere? I looked on the IB web site and it says the leverage should be 40:1 for the currencies I trade. That's 2.5% I believe.



Thanks!
