Returns an absolute numerical value, indicating the commission and slippage amount spent for the specified trade.

Usage

PosTradeCommission(PosAgo, TradeNumber)

Where:

PosAgo - a numerical expression, specifying the position:

0 - open position;

1 - one position back (the last position closed);

2 - two positions back, etc.

TradeNumber - a numerical expression, specifying the number of trade (zero-based).

Notes

This function can only be used in signals.

To retrieve the total number of trades in specified position use PosTradeCount.

Example 1

PosTradeCommission(0, 1);

Will return a value of 5 for the second trade of the open position, if the commission and slippage for this trade is 5 dollars.

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;

Returns the following:

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