incorrect commissions... calculating different from backtesting settings
15 Sep 2013, 08:32


I have commissions set at 65/million for backtesting settings...

for two trades at 150,000 USD each; one buy and one sell which shows -25.92 in the History "Commissions" column

that's a rate of roughly 85/million

is this a bug, or am I missing something... like maybe it's 65 EUR/million?

assist please...

Hello,

150k EURUSD is not 150k USD in value. It is 150k EUR in value. Therefore, 65 / million x 150k EUR is approximately 85 USD / million.
