Hello AlphaNate,

You can use a backtesting project file with configured commissions from FXTS2:

1. Open a new Basktest/Optimizer project by using the FXTS2
2. Set up a commission in the "Commission" tab
3. Run Basktest/Optimizer
4. Save the project to the file
5. Use this file to run ConsoleBacktester (the file is located in %FXTS folder%/BacktesterProjects)

Hi PetrolV,

Thank you, but this answer does not help much. We are not using FXTS2 but generating the xml from own scripts. The xml generated by FXTS2 seems to put the parameters into an indiscernible way. Also the generated xml does not work always correctly with optimizer, etc.

We would like to be able to run backtest/optimize using indicore sdk, with commissions accounted, but without using FXTS2.
