Trading View Demo Account?

However, after opening a paper trading account, I noticed that there doesnt seem to be any form of margin account in the site.

Hi again @Zhadow45,

In the image below, we have highlighted the section of the Account Manager on TradingView where you can monitor your margin.

I’m not sure if anyone uses the site and understands it a little better, but I can open up a demo account with the amount that i usually plan on trading, but I can put in trades for even 1 Million dollars worth. (Which makes no sense).

In the example above, the demo account balance is about $50,000 and we have an open position with a notional value of 100K. That means our effective leverage is about 2 to 1, since 100K is 2 times 50K.

If you opened a position with a notional value of 1 million, with the same demo account balance, then your effective leverage would be about 20 to 1, since 1M is 20 times 50K. US forex trading regulations allow up to 50:1 leverage on major currency pairs.

We discussed effective leverage in more detail in this post: Capitalizing Accounts

Anyone know how this works at all? Thanks.
