I think it could be useful to add swap option in data settings in order to have more precise results.
Thanks for your work

i am afraid that there is no way how to replicate swap to backtests, because every broker has different swap

I also made this request but added it because there are other requests associated with it. 


Of course every broker has different swap and also swap changes within the same broker because interest rates change over time. However if you know the broker where you will use your EA the swap cost at valid at that moment swap can be backtested. Not to have any possibility to simulate swap cost it's not the best option for sure if we want to be as exact as possible in BTs.


Also swap should be subject to robustness testing, as it is a highly unpredictable parameter, thus the importance to test the sensitivity of the strategies to it.
