Is it possible to incorporate the maintance of a position when using margin into the results of tradesim.
EG I trade a portfolio of stocks through CFD's- my margin is 10% of the underlying value but I am charged 8% per annum to maintain my positions. For a long term trend following system that has an average trade duration of 75 days the 8% will dramatically effect the profitability of the system.Is it possible to incorporate that cost into my trading?
Help will be greatly appreciated.
