Portfolio settings define the conditions under which the strategy is executed. Portfolio Settings include '''Exposure''', '''Max % of Capital at Risk per Position''', '''Initial Portfolio Capital''', '''Margin per Contract''' and '''Potential Loss per Contract'''.
Portfolio Settings can be set from the '''Portfolio Settings''' tab in Portfolio Backtester Trader application. * Open '''Portfolio Trader''' window.** see '''[[Portfolio Trader#Opening Portfolio Trader|how]]'''.
To use the Portfolio Settings tab:
# In the '''Margin per Contract''' section, set '''Margin value % of contract cost''' to "0". This effectively disables the '''Margin per Contract''' section.
In real trading, margin values and other portfolio settings may change depending on the circumstances. Portfolio Backtester Trader enables the user to calculate the margin values and change portfolio settings dynamically with PowerLanguage.
For more information, please see PowerLanguage portfolio-related keywords (prefixed with the word "Portfolio").
