Not able to specify Global Commission for a Forex currency pair

[joemiller]

I am trying to specify Global Commission=$3 for the Forex Eurodollar/USDollar pair using daily Kinetick EOD data. I set 'Currency Kinetic'=3.00 and 'Futures Kinetic'=3.00 as shown in the attachments, but so far have been unsuccessful at making it work. Any thoughts/suggestions will be appreciated.

Hi,

Thank you for your post.

Your settings would appear to be correct however please note that the settings would apply only to those trades placed after commissions were configured. Existing trade history would remain in it's current form.

Your reply is very helpful and much appreciated. I’m not clear about the significance of it because I still have loads to learn about the Strategy Analyzer. Sounds like it applies to a scenario something like where a back test without commissions applied has been run and saved and then is run again having been updated with additional price bar history and with commissions applied for those new days?

Correct, only backtests performed after you setup commissions, will include commissions in their results.

To setup commissions for backtests, please enter commissions for 'Currency - Simulator' in the Commissions-tab.

found 'Currency - Simulator' ... Thanks

found 'Currency - Simulator'. another notch in the belt of my valiant quest to understand and use NT. I will promptly forget all I have learned if NT goes unvisited for a few weeks but that's my problem.
Thanks for the help.
