• Initial Capital:set the initial capital allocated to the backtest;

• Max Contracts Held:represents the maximum limit of long or short contracts that Pyramiding can reach.

• Fixed Costs / Percentage:select the commission amount applied by the broker for the asset to which the signal is applied. In particular, it is possible to choose whether the commission is a fixed value or a percentage value on the amount of the transaction;
• Values:set the commission value applied by the broker. Based on the previous selection, the value set for Broker Costs Value will take an absolute or percentage value. It is also possible to set a minimum and maximum value per transaction, if so provided by your broker.
