Commissions in Sim101

[knyyt1]

I may be missing something here but heres what happens.



Sim mode.

Entered 5 ES contracts, set profit target for 1 tick.

In the commission setting screen i have it set to 2.40 under the Simulated.

After the trade is over it records "realized" profits as 57.70

Shouldn't the realized profit be 38.50?

5 ticks =62.5

5 RT commissions= 24.00



thanks, Knyyt

Note:

( Read prior post first)

I tried it out using one contract. The math came out correct.

When i changed to 2 contracts, the math came out incorrect. ($20.20 )

Would seem to be related to multiple contracts only, not to single contracts.

You probably have set the mint "min commission" and not the commission per contract. Please verify by docs: Instrument Manager->Adding Commission rates and Options->Commission tab
