Commissions Deducted in Live Trading

[Hammerhorn]

I was with Mirus and when in a position with an auto strategy the commissions would be deducted form the unrealized profit column. Then once exited it would show the realized profit with commissions deducted. Now I am with AMP and this is not happening. Is this something I can change on my end?

Hammerhorn, thanks for the post - unfortunately that outcome would be expected, the CashBalance and PnL values given to you / the platform by the used technology would be excluding commissions.

[Hammerhorn]

Can you elaborate.

[NinjaTrader_Bertrand]

Yes, sure - this is natively calculated at your brokerage, so not a setting you can locally adjust on your NT. All live brokerage account information is displayed based on what the brokerage technology you connect into provides through their API.

[Hammerhorn]

So CQG API does not support this? Or is it just AMP? Also, does Rithmic's API through Optimus support this?

All info to compare would be located here - http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/f...ead.php?t=5474

For the providers you mention it would not be making a difference.

Interesting. Zen Fire, which I was always told was basically Rithmic did this and they are not even on the list.

Not as of 12/29/2013 or NT r18.

Well, could not trade after 18, so I would not know.

Oh, and thank you for your help. FYI, I do miss having the commissions include any chance that will be adopted in NT8?

[NinjaTrader_Bertrand]

Hammerhorn, this would be specifically a function of NT's core but the API, I will channel that enhancement request to our development / product management trackings so it can be considered going forward.
