Greetings, can someone inform on how metastrategy backtests handle credits received from short sales of stock. Mainly are short sale credits used in position sizing when margin is set to a factor of 1?
Thanks in advance.

In a WealthLab backtest, a short sale counts against your buying power in the same way that a long trade does. You're not credited with cash from the sale.
A short position will, however, pay dividends. You need to have an Event Provider enabled with the "Dividend" item checked for that to work.

Perfect. That's what I was hoping for. Thanks!
