Simulate complex commission costs [Test] - 12/04/19 22:05
jcl,
In [Test] mode, can I simply subtract from Capital over time to emulate various costs/withdrawals? (The manual says that Balance and Equity are calculated based on Capital and trade profit - this suggests that Balance and Equity are strictly outputs in Test mode.)
Example applications:
* Assets with complicated commissions costs, especially IB assets. (Commissions set to zero in the asset list.)
* Monthly fees, such as data fees.
* Monthly balance withdrawals.
If not, what is the correct approach?
Thanks,
Andrew
