I have this problem and I dont know how to solve.
I am backtesting a simple strategy on past data so:
1) I have download soybean continuous contract data from QUANDL
2) Create a symbol (ZS_C) into Instruments as the original ZS future
3) Imported data and check the imported data was hooked to correct symbol
Until here, everything is fine.
Now when I run the backtester and I check "include commissions", I get 0 commissions and more important the backtester is not taking the correct "multiplier" that is 50 in case of soybean.
For example: entry at 526 and exit at 615, profit is 89$ instead of 4450 $!!
1) How to fix the problem of "multiplier" ( I check into Instruments and it is correctly configured at 50)
2) How to setup the right commissions?
