Just to let you all know.
I have worked many hours on the solution but havenīt found something that works.

All my calculations for getting the correct commission before an order is opened failed.
Example:
Pepperstone announces $3.50 per 100k.

The commission is paid at opening of an order and when it is closed.
2 x 3.50 = 7 in my books.

But when I open an order with 1 lot in strategy tester,
the OrderCommission() returns 7.53
AccountCurrency = USD .

I have tested on several pairs ( EURUSD, GBPUSD, GBPJPY, EURCHF, EURGBP, USDJPY etc. ).
OrderCommission() = 7.53 on all pairs.

But 3.50 x 2 = 7 .

Maybe it is strategy tester causing it ?

Does anybody have an idea ?

Pepperstone states the commission is $3.50 AUD. Could that be the problem?

if the date of the strat test range is around this time last year, then i'd say you nailed it.
Congratulations ScalaFX for coming out of the closet!

I agree.

I was sure I read 3.5 USD , but on their website it says 3.5 AUD.
