Do trades placed by an automated strategy include spread?
For instance, if spread is 2 pips, and a trade from an automated strategy shows a profit of 5 pips, is the profit 5 pips or is it really 3 pips?
Same thing with the net profit field in the summary of the strategy. If net profit field in summary shows a profit of $100 over a period of a month, is it really $100 profit or do I need to subtract spread costs from the $100?
