Hello kkjalan,

You can set up commissions by going to Tools > Options > Commission tab.

Below is a link to the Commission Tab section of our help guide.

Once you have set up the commission, please go to Tools > Options > General tab, check the box for 'Apply commissions to PnL calculations' and press OK.

No commission here

Hello,

I'm having the same problem here. I did all as you explained; I have set the global commissions as well as specific instrument commissions, having the little box ticked for enabling commission calculations while on backtesting mode. No commissions are being calculated here.
I am running the backtesting within the Strategy analyzer window, where the 'Executions' and 'trade' tab would always have 0's in the Commission column. Also, I have the following line in my initialize function within the strategy code:
IncludeCommission = true;

Notes:
I am backtesting with the AUDUSD pair, and have 3 as the commission per unit.
I obtained the software within FXCM's website. So, I have input the commissions for FXCM and Kinetick.

Lastly, in the summary tab of the Performance Data section for a strategy, I can see that there is a difference between the gross profit and the total net profit. If commissions are still not calculated, have no slippage or spreads implemented here, why the difference?

Thank you.

Hello bandieramonte,

When using the Strategy Analyzer, you will need to set the commissions up under Simulator.

Please see the attached screenshot.
