Commissions in Strategy Analyzer

[siroki]

Hi,

When backtesting my forex strategy I don't see any commissions included. I have added a tier system. Example for GBPUSD I have added $2 for 100.000 units. I also have set the Include Commission value to True in SA.

But when I backtest the strategy in Strategy Analyzer I don't see any value in the commission field.

What I am doing wrong?

Found the answer!

I'm running it in Simulator mode so I should have added the commission in the Simulation branch (and not my broker).

Exactly, that's correct siroki - thanks for sharing your resolution here.

Also something to keep in mind (example for Interactive Brokers).

If you want $2 per 100k traded, you should enter 100000 units and 0.00002 as commission. Since the $2 is per 1000000.
