I'm currently testing a strategy I recently developped. I would like to achieve the best possible result and therefor I'm looking to include the commission into the backtesting. I use FXCM as broker an they have a 0.08 $ return commisssion (so 0.04 $ one-way) Do I just add this to the tools/options/commission tab under "currency - FXCM" ? Will it then be kept into account on every open/close my strategy calculates ?
Also, I want to trade CFD's. I like to 'play' with lot sizes that cost me 100 euro's. Is there a way to set NT's chart trader up so that it opens positions that are always around 100 euro (before FXCM applies the leverage) or do I manually have to calculate the lot sizes myself (i.e.: leverage on USD/EUR is 1:100 so if I want to risk 100 euro, I would have to buy 10 1k lots)
Thanks for helping out !!
