I created my template for commissions, however, the smallest commission I can put is 0.01
If I try putting 0.00001 - it automatically puts it to zero.
Lot size is set to 10,000
10,000 represent 1$
When backtesting - if I include commission to be 0.01 - I have total of 35 trades where each trade qty is 10,000 (to represent one lot). I am getting commissions value of $13,800.00
If I increase commissions - value gets even larger.
And no way to set commission to be lower than 0.01
Maybe I am doing something wrong? What should be the right process of setting trading size /commissions to backtest forex with MBTrading data (and later on to trade live of course).
Thanks
