Funding fees, commissions, and slippage are visualized on the chart, as well as in the full breakdown of statistics. The spread, commissions, and slippage that you set will appear as a yellow line and will impact all profit and loss (PnL) calculations. You can set these fees at the beginning of the backtest in the second step of the backtest settings.
The tool is built to make backtesting a fast and painless process. For further improvement, it would be great to have your suggestions and feedback so that it can get better for traders.
