Hi,

As you may already know, there are NO broker commissions in the MT5 strategy tester/backtest report.
This totally skews the final result of your strategy (especially if you are using a scalping one).
MetaQuotes knows that, but they want traders to dream… This is their bread & butter.

Is it possible to include/add broker commissions in Quant Analyzer in order to obtain realistic results ?
A typical Forex broker commission is $3.5 per full Lot per side.

Thanks

BTW, I don’t understand why it is currently impossible to modify the values that QA loaded from a backtest and/or trading report… ?!

Once a report is loaded, data should be modifiable.  If it’d be possible, then I would be able to add commissions…
