Re: 4 points sqew in auto trading
ok, i just did that and 2 comes out under commisison. Does that mean i should take that commision out of the properties of the signal ?
My solution was to ajust the SL & TP accordingly, altrough i don't actually find this being the right thing to do. But it works !

I realise there are a number of things that are fundamentally different in backtesting signals & live trading signals. I would like to see a resource that points out those fundamental differences. That would certainly shorten my learning curve

Hello,
I have some backtesting signals i would like to convert to automated trading signals. I figure there must be some ajustments to do in the coding, like implementing OCO orders. Where can i find related resources and help ?
