+To account for this in backtesting, you can use the `--fee` command line option to supply this value to backtesting.
 This fee must be a ratio, and will be applied twice (once for trade entry, and once for trade exit).
 
+For example, if the buying and selling commission fee is 0.1% (i.e., 0.001 written as ratio), then you would run backtesting as the following:
+
 ```bash
 freqtrade backtesting --fee 0.001
