Does VolumeForFixedRisk & VolumeForProportionalRisk include commission ?
16 Jun 2024, 07:46

Hello there,

 

My request is pretty straightforward, as said in the title, I just wanna know if the methods VolumeForFixedRisk and VolumeForProportionalRisk in the Symbol namespace include the commission (if any) in the calculation of volume ?

I would assume it does but would like a confirmation, since the docs doesn't say it clearly.

Also what would be the best way to implement it if it doesn't? (General guidelines, not asking for the code)

Hi there,

No it does not include swaps and commissions. If you need them, you would need to develop your own methods.

Best regards,

Panagiotis

Aye, thanks for the fast reply.

I'll do my best, prob can find some base formulas online somewhere. Not the priority right now so no rush. I'm developing a trade assistant, first time I do some c# and I like it so far!

Sea yah!

Do you know any broker that offers demo account that got some assets where the commission type is quote currency per one lot? I'm desperately looking for that to ensure my functions are working in that precise case, I already tried TopFX, Blackbull Markets, FP Markets, Pepperstone and Purple Trading, but unfortunately no one of those got an asset charged that way.

Tyvm !
