In the preferences/interest section

The Margin Loan Rate setting is a SPREAD over the UST yield box right above it, or is it an absolute value?

Same question for interest on cash.

Thank you.

The margin loan rate for backtesting is a fixed value that you establish.

The cash interest can either be fixed, or as the history if the backtest progresses it will use the specified yield value on a day by day basis.

A good enhancement might be to do the same thing with margin loan rate, so one could ADD a value to the current yield for simulation purposes.

Yes it would.

FED FUNDS - 100
FED FUNDS + 100

Since libor does not "exist" any more.

Thank you.
