Hello
I did succeed to write a small signal code that return a nice up slope in the profit. I'm trading Forex Eur.Usd
Question to get a bit realistic: My broker is IB. How do I set the signal property
- How do I set for a transaction fee of 2.5$ per 100K
- How do I set a slippage of .5 pip per trade
Any suggestion on how to set any property so it can be nearer a reality trade
- How can I know what should be the account value to sustain the margin the position that the signal has generated

Hello Martin,
1) Have a look at the attached screenshot.
2) Input the dollar value per trade in Format->Strategy properties->Properties tab->Slippage.
3) Have you checked the Account Size required value in Strategy performance report->Strategy analysis->Strategy performance summary?
