Hi, But is it *possible* to set the backtester to consider that the buyprice was let's say 1% higher than the Close on the bar the trade was made?
That's what I tried to do. If it's complicated, I can live with this (well, I can at least try, since I believe I am still a beginner in understanding AFL), but I'd need to know if it is possible, and if yes, what can be a good start... Was I on the right track with SetTradeDelays( 1, 1, 1, 1 ); BuyPrice = c*1.01; SellPrice = c*0.99; Cause it does not work at all...
