Enhancement description

Hi,

Full spread is currently applied to buy price on trade open and open+close commission only on trade close. This doesn't reflect real life and affects backtesting stop loss/trailing stop loss trigger level.
Also,, I'm using trade.pl_pct for trailing stop loss calculation and I have to subtract commission manually.
It also leads to bad optimization.

The situation should be :

  • trade open: apply half-spread on buy price and also apply commission
  • trade close: apply half-spread on sell price and also apply commission

Thanks a lot!
