Is there a simple formula I can add to an AMM script to show commissions and slippage by position in the trade log?

I thought I could probably do this using, for example:
Functions.AddTradeMetric("Commissions", pos.[SOMETHERE HERE]) ;
Functions.AddTradeMetric("Slippage", pos.[SOMETHERE HERE]) ;

... but I looked for a pos property to do this, and didn't see one.

Thank you.

There is no property to get commissions and slippage. But you can calculate them knowing your setting and given position details.

Example (commissions $2/share)
pos.NbShares * 2

Understood. Thanks.

Please consider adding a property to the pos object in a future release for commissions and slippage so we don't have to set it in two places in order to see the information in the trade log (e.g., in a money management script + in the system settings).

QS, you already provide the ability to get the commissions in an AMM script via the .EntryCommissions and .ExitCommissions fields. I agree it would be nice to have slippage as well. Actually it would be nice if we could set slippage programmatically in the AMM script.

Hi QS,

I would appreciate direct access to slippage in the AMM as well (e.g. pos.EntrySlippage) or more custom variables (var5,var6,..).

It seems like the slippage calculation in the "Statistics" tab does not consider the point value of futures. Could you please check.

Thanks,
Torsten

Hi,

We will add the ability to access slippage.

Regarding "var..", you can associate an object/class to a Var1 and thus store unlimited variable.

For futures, I am not sure I understand what you mean. Can you please explain Torsten?

Trading financial instruments, including foreign exchange on margin, carries a high level of risk and is not suitable for all investors. The high degree of leverage can work against you as well as for you. Before deciding to invest in financial instruments or foreign exchange you should carefully consider your investment objectives, level of experience, and risk appetite. The possibility exists that you could sustain a loss of some or all of your initial investment and therefore you should not invest money that you cannot afford to lose. You should be aware of all the risks associated with trading and seek advice from an independent financial advisor if you have any doubts.
