Hi,
straight-forward question:
Does the strategy tester automatically take into account rollover credits/debits, on exchange pairs?
I have an EA that is very simple, and only places a market order (OrderSend()), if and when specific conditions apply.
For example, for GBPUSD, in the strategy tester, it placed a GBPUSD OP_BUY Order at 1.3882.
It closed that order at 1.51314, the order size was a 10,000 GBP lot.
If I am not mistaken, the profit, without calculation of costs, should be USD 1249.4 (15131,4 - 13,882), however, the strategy tester report gives a profit of 1228.33.
So, is this, because rollover costs, etc, are factored in, or is there something else I am missing?
Thanks!
