Commission in Percentage

usuallywin · 08-07-2012, 09:19 PM

Hi

I tried to add commission in percentage in my backtest but I can only enter commission per unit. I read some old post saying that it is not supported.

However, the backtest result will get very wrong if the commission is $x now as it was $x 30 years ago.

Is that something that can be added to the new version? And can you suggest a way to do it with ninjascript so that I can get a more accurate figure?

Thank you

Hello,

Unfortunately this is not supported at this time and it would not be possible to calculate commissions via NinjaScript.

I have forwarded your suggestion to our development team. Once we have a tracking ID for this request I will let you know.
