To work with commissions on custom symbols, follow these steps:
To see if it works, run a backtest and save the result. Scroll down in the saved HTML file to "Trades".
I have been trying to use this functionality to include trade commissions when backtesting against a custom symbol.

It seems like these values are completely ignored. There also don't appear to be any relevant properties to configure in the symbol specification. Can you help?
