Thanks for this great product and all your hard work. I have looked at queries in this forum about commission settings and how to export them which was very helpful but there are a couple of points I would like clairfied which I can't find information for:
1) Could you confirm if commission info is entered in Metatrader info > Export to MT4 this is correctly exported to the FXT or do I still need to edit the FXT manually with the commission info?
2) If my broker charges 0.35 pips per side commission would the base commission be entered as 35 or 0.35? I believe my other settings should be:
Comm type:1
Comm lots: 0
I have been following your guidance in terms of disconnecting from MT4 when backtesting and making the FXT files read-only.
Look forward to your reply and many thanks,
Lee
Commission query
Re: Commission query
Hi Leeb,
Regarding your questions:
1) If you are referring to the issue of Commission Type not being exported correctly, this was addressed in v1.4 (TICKLITE-144).
2) When specifying pips, you need to account for whether the symbol has an extra fractional digit. If so, you need to multiply the pip value by 10. So, if for example you have EURUSD on a 4 digit broker, then you express it simply as 0.35. If it is a 5-digit broker, then you need to specify 3.5.
Regards.
