Backtester misscalculates funds when opening positions with % free

Bug Reports

Bug info: Hello,

I was backtesting a long strategy on BTCUSDC on spot and I was using 4% of free balance to open a deal. The problem is that I think that the backtester do not take into account that when one position has opened with 4% of the free balance, next simultaneous deal will be again 4% but from the remaining free balance and not from initial balance. The backtester takes only into account the profit. You can see in the shared example that even during a bear period, the amount allocated to each position is gradually increasing making the backtesting unrealistic.

Thank you in advance for taking a look into this :smiley:

The backtester always assume unlimited funds. We don’t have a feature yet to keep track of the used funds. This will be achieved when we introduce portfolio backtesting which will work with predefined funds.

Ok thanks for the clarification! Do you know more or less when it is expected to release this feature?
