backtesting a Forex strategy with spreads

[michael.volvogorsky]

Hi,

To start with, I'm new to NinjaTrader and I think it's absolutely amazing...

I have one problem though:
I'm developing an automated scalping strategy for the foreign exchange market. I'm going to enter and exit the market dozens of times a day so the spreads can make all the difference between success and failure...

Is there a way to include spreads whilst backtesting the strategy?

Many thanks,
Michael

Check the Instrument Manager for adding commissions. I think adding a flat commission equivalent to the spread you want would suffice in emulating this.

Thank you, it works perfectly!
