Hi,

is it possible to add commisions automatically so it does not close with loss?
Or is it only the “BE add Pips” you have to do manually?

Thanks! 🙂

Hello,

to cover the commission I suggest to add some pips to BE. This will affect the overall strategy performance though but the strategy should still remain profitable

Please let me know:

In the case of E-mini futures contracts , the commission is charged on a per contract basis NOT on a per trade basis.

The options are in the field commission are: None, Per trade, Percentage based and Size based.

If you trade  only one Futures contract the option on a per trade basis corresponds : one trade = 1 contract .

But wen you try multiple contracts, SQX counts the trade of 100 contras as a one trade only.

So the commission charged by SQX is only one contract commission when it should be 100 times the $ commission stated.

In summary if the commission per trade is $5 dollars , and a trade  of 100 Future contracts is executed , then the  commission  should be $500 NOT $5 dollars.

How do I correct that ?

My only guess would be to use Size based witch computes $ commissions per lot and multiplies it by the actual trade size.

Please confirm my assumption.

Thank you.

Hello,

you should use “size based” model to correctly count number of contracts into commissions cost

Let me know if any questions or issues
