[amibroker] Setting Commissions correctly for FOREX

["dralexchambers" <dralexchambers@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

My FOREX broker charges $5 per $100,000 traded - ie. 1 lot.

Am I correct in thinking that on the backtester, 1 contract is the 
same as 1 lot? Or is it a minilot?

So, if it is 1 lot, I would use:

SetOption( "CommissionMode", 2 ); /* set commissions AND costs as $ 
per trade */
SetOption( "CommissionAmount", 5); /* commissions AND cost */


Thanks - alex
