Since forex systems typically trade with high leveraged margins (1:40 or so), the model account P&Ls and CAGR should include margin interest costs and allow users to personalize these costs (depending on their brokerage).
Currently, the system reports appear to be misleading as they account for commissions but not the margin interest.
- pl. advise if there’s an easy way to include margin expenses for P&L/CAGR of forex systems
thanks

We do not support margin-interest simulation on C2.
Including the margin interest in the C2 system reports could be useful if you play the carry-trade on currency pairs like the GBP/JPY or the NZD/JPY, for the medium or the long term.
Otherwise, in the long run, the small daily profits/losses generated by the margin interest will simply cancel each other out. As a result, the P/L will not be affected much.
