[amibroker] Re: Why does changing the commission change the number of trades?

["peter843" <yahoogroups@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Are you using a stop loss? If so, increasing the commission could result in you exiting some trades earlier and therefore getting into a few more trades.

I originally had commissions at $3 per trade and then changed them to $4.5 per trade. It resulted in 4 additional trades. Why? Why would changing this paltry variable by a buck fifty have any bearing on my trade entry??
