I know that it closes orders by stop_out. I don't think it simulate partial_closes. Reading articles on this subject would be my recommendation. That or performing the necessary back-test. Like maxing out your free margin and seeing what happens.

Does the strategy tester record in the final trade-by-trade results whether an order was closed by a margin call?
In the tester results, I have seen order types buy, sell, close, s/l, t/p, and close at stop. But, I have not seen a margin call order type in the results, but that doesn't mean that there isn't one. I just may have been lucky enough to never have that happen in the backtest results I have examined.
I'd like to know if I need to calculate whether each close was imposed by a margin call or not, or if I can just read that it was a close, a close at stop, or a close due to margin call.
Thanks.
