Hi DaemonMX,

Tickstory allows you to specify the “raw” values that are embedded into the Metatrader FXT which are as follows:

Comm type: The base commission type – either Money (set to 0), pips (1) or percent (2).
Base comm: The commission value – this is the amount of Money (if Comm type is 0) or Pips (if Comm type is 1).
Comm lots: The commission charge type – can be Commission per Lot (0) or Commission per deal (1).

So to specify a 0.07% commission on every trade, the following should work:

Comm type = 2
Base comm = 0.07
Comm lots = 1

Please let us know how you go.

Regards.

hi
my broker is Pepperstone and commision per 1lot is around 7USD (3.5 entry, 3.5 exit trade)

Can I put like this?

Comm type = 0
Base comm = 7
Comm lots = 0

Thank you,
Dr.Golf

Hi Dr. Golf – That looks correct.

I used the same settings as Dr. Golf but I don’t see any effect of this. When I try this:

if (OrderSelect(Ticket, SELECT_BY_TICKET, MODE_TRADES) == TRUE) Print(“commision paid: “, OrderCommission());

after opening/closing a trade, it shows me 0 commission. what could be wrong here?

Hi mmsk,

We have tried your code on the standard “MACD Sample” EA immediately after the OrderClose() command is sent and it does yield a commission. The only thing that we can think of is to double-check your export parameters by opening the FXT file in the FXT Editor and make sure they are what you expect.

Please let us know how you go.

Regards.
