How to use leverage in paper trading sim101 account

[tchen7]

Hi,
So i have developed a strategy that I wanted to paper trade and test. One of the things I wanted to test was how the strategy would perform using leverage. How would I go about doing this in running the strategy? For example, I want to do 2x leverage on a CL contract how would I do that?


Thank you!!

Hi tchen7, thanks for posting. The leverage amounts (tick size, point value) are already pre-defined in the NinjaTrader database when you install the platform. There is nothing in the NinjaScript library that supports this, so you would need to create custom C# code that would be able to simulate custom leverage, or adjust the tick size and point value amounts on the instruments.

Kind regards,
