Can someone explain me how cTrader calculates the commission amount.
I tried to ge a grip on it but did not succeed.
Running an USD account buying 200k EURUSD
Why does cTrader calculates 11.32 whilst imho is should be 11.55???

found them on a backtest on EURUSD
ask,bid,Qtty and profit
put them in an excell and there I couldn'n make it match.
But if you can share the formula you use to calculate the profit i'd be able to correct my algo.

Hi Ton,
There is a known issue in backtesting and this is that the conversion rates considered are the ones at the start date of the backtesting and not the ones at the entry time of the position. Maybe this is why you are getting this discrepancy. The product team is aware of this and they are considering solutions but I cannot commit to when we will have it.

OK i can deal wit that. I can see when backtesting starts.
two questions:
1.Does that also go for optimization?
2.IS the way of calculation I used correct ? or better share the formula for commission calculation.
