John: Never knew 2x/3x was looked at as a margin position - makes sense though. Thanks for the heads up.

So, trying for a teaching moment on your experience.

I'm assuming you are now throttling back the 2x - 3x allocations at the strategy level (when using a single Strategy/symbol process).

If so, is the "Allow settings to reduce trade size" OV Account setting or TP setting "Size by % of Equity" over-ruling your Strategy settings? Seems something is trying to use up what it perceives as available cash?

Lots of knobs (and broker rules) here...
