That should work with a system of fewer trades and higher profit/loss ratio. But my system has a lot of trades every day and profits by higher win rate.
If I use .2% as commissions, it is not as profitable and doesn't reflect real trading statistics.
 
I looked at the advanced portfolio backtester, but it doesn't seem to have any place you can set commission based on trade info. (The trade object does have a GetCommission() method, but not SetCommission()).
 
Probably I have to stick with Wealth-Lab for a while. But its backtesting is painfully slow...

I just use .2% for all commissions. It overstates it a bit on the safe side.

Subject: [amibroker] How to simulate IB commission?

 

I just consolidated my accounts into an InteractiveBrokers account and would like to re-test my systems. I have no problem in Wealth-lab since I can use CommissionScript to describe the scheme. But in AmiBroker it is a bit difficult, and the portfolio commission table doesn't seem to help.

The scheme is : $0.005 * shares, min: $1.0,  max: 0.002*value.

I think I can probably work around this by modify the SellPrice/BuyPrice to reflect the commission. But that's a bit messy and may have side effect.

Any Suggestion?
