Something wrong when calculator lot size with commision
henzycuong1 opened this issue · comments
Today, I entered a short position on XAUUSD. I have set up like image
and that position hit stop-loss.
But I realize, the sum of profit and commision is 6.74, which means 3.26$ be missed to calculator lot size
That's because you entered the round-turn commission ($16.00 per lot) instead of the one-way ($8.00 per lot).

what is that mean ? sorry, I don't understand that. My broker got $16.00 per lot XAUUSD, and I set "Commision (one-way) per lot" is $16 but you said it's "round-turn". How can I switch it ?
Your broker has $16.00 round-turn commission, which means that they take $8.00 when you open the trade and then $8.00 when you close it. The Position Sizer's commission field expects the size of your one-way commission as an input (which is $8.00 in your case). So, you just enter 8.00 there.
