MetaTrader backtester settings

Hi everyone,
Is there a default leverage that the MetaTrader platform uses when you backtest an EA? Or does it automatically use the leverage of the account that is currently open? Also, I have several demo accounts open and I can't find anything that states the leverage on each account or whether it is a mini account or standard account. Unless I write this info down when I open the account, I have no way of telling. Is there a way of finding this info after the account is open? Thanks for your help!

The leverage on the Tester will be the same as the account.
Demo accounts are not separated into mini or standard... depending on the broker you will be able to trade from 0.01 lots (micro) or 0.1 lots (mini). However I have seen a few MT4 platforms showing a small "m" after the symbol in the Terminal indicating that those are mini-accounts.

You can find out which leverage it is using (on a demo of course!) by opening a small position (0.1 or 0.01 if micro account) and check how much margin it required.

If Margin Required = Pair Rate * Units/100, leverage = 100:1;
If MR = PR * Units/200, Lev = 200:1;
If MR = PR * Units/500, Lev = 500:1.

Example: EUR/USD at 1.3150, 0.1 lots (10000 units)
100:1 will require a margin of:
1.3150 * 10000/100 = $131.50

Thank you very much!
