Reply To: Backtesting Expert Advisors: Historical Data

[Mark Henry]

Hello Epian,

Glad that you figured out the data part,

now in my opinion if you are getting charged commission and spread during live trading, you should include it in the backtest if you really want to see close to reality results, because commission and spread can make your results 1-2% less profit, so better to include them.

let me know if there is more info you need.

Thanks
