Almost all brokers put markups on prices. This can be a hidden collection of money to the existing commission. Or simply a replacement of the commission.
Setting the TS even with ticks in these situations is ambiguous. For example, if you trade on NoMarkup+Commisssion and Markup+NoCommission accounts with the same broker, then the TS settings should be completely different, because the prices do not coincide. But the source of prices is the same! So the inputs/outputs of the TS must coincide.
Therefore, I propose to introduce an input parameter into your TCs
Demarcate all prices (orders, market overview) at the TS input. At the output (orders) - mark back.
With this approach, the logic of the TS falls apart.
ZY The most convenient thing for Tester is to create a demarcated custom symbol.

because it doesn't work in case of dts, yesterday there were one markup yesterday, tomorrow there will be another.
I would never orientate TC in dts on ticks at all, because it's a painful and short-term business.because all this does not work in the case of dts, yesterday there were one markups yesterday, tomorrow there will be another.

So don't trade in DCs.

Read the title of the article. You are probably fine when the trading logic changes from the fact that the commission has been completely replaced by an equivalent markup.

So this is the DC you are trading at its prices. I would not even consider signing up for such a thing.

It is not always possible to trade directly with a broker. Sometimes big investors buy MT and rigidly prescribe markup in it, instead of commission.
Moreover, if the broker has decided that it is necessary to add markup to the commission, why should the MT change the inputs?
It is only a question of trading logic. It should not depend on whether the broker wants to introduce markup or not.
TS logic is based on market regularities. Markups have nothing to do with them.
Let the commission be 2 pips. Optimised - launched. The commission was removed, and instead of it we introduced a 2 pip markup. Why should the inputs change?
Well, yeah, I agree.
