Example 2

if BarsSinceExit(1) = 1 then begin

   for value2 = 0 to (PosTradeCount(1) - 1) begin
   
      Print("Commission: ", commission, Spaces(3),
         "PosSize: ", PosTradeSize(1, value2), Spaces(3),
         "Slippage: ", Slippage, Spaces(3),
         "Commission: ", PosTradeCommission(1, value2));
   
   end;

end;

Commission:    2.20   PosSize:    3.00   Slippage:    5.00   Commission:   21.60
