No Commissions calculated despite inputs

[tooearly]

Hi,

I insert commissions at Tools/Options/Commissions, as well as through InstrumentManager, and set both at InteractiveBrokers rates of 1$ min; 0.005/1 for half cent a share.

I then set Include Commissions = True on Backtest and fail to get any results.

Any skinny on this anyone?

Thanks ... Tooearly

Hi tooearly,

When you are backtesting, you should have this set to the Simulator.

Set what to Simulator?

When you are back testing, you should have this set to the Simulator.

I don't see anything in Back test that I can set to Simulator. Do you mean that, when doing a back test, I should set the connection Simulated Data Feed?

Could you please reformulate your reply.

Thanks,

Hi tooearly,

When you set up commissions, you set them up for IB. You also need to set up the identical commission structure for "Stocks - Simulator" under Tools > Options > Commissions.
