Old bug in Sim101 account.

[Fer137]

In Sim101, when short positions the margin is added to Cash Value, instead subtracting it. (BuyingPower is also wrong)
When long positions everything is Ok.

It occurs in NT 7.0.1000.26, and also in previous versions.

See the picture.

Hello Fer137,

Unfortunately, this is as expected and is caused by the 'Margin/unit' setting in the Options-->Simulator-tab. It will add this value to Cash Value when in a short position and it will be deducted in a long position. More information regarding the account settings can be found at the link below under 'How the Margin parameters impact Account values' (bottom).
