Possible to allow negative equity?

[stefanmsy]

I am new to the world of backtesting and python and delighted to find this useful library.

As far as I understand, if the equity is negative, the error OutOfMoneyError will be raised and the simulation will be stopped. Is it possible to bypass that?

What I am trying to do is to simulate use of fixed amount to execute the orders (referred to discussion #401) but the issues I am having are:

1. If I set the order amount the same as the initial cash, I may run out of cash and the simulation stops.
2. If I set the initial cash much larger than order amount to ensure there is sufficient cash, the return% seems to be calculated based on the initial cash value so the return will be smaller.

Thanks a lot for your help in advance!
