Commission Column - Account Performance Tab

[billbrasil]

Hello!

The 'Commission' column always shows '$0.00' when I'm viewing reports within the 'Account Performance' tab. Is there a way to get this value to reflect the actual commissions associated with each trade?

Thanks!
Bill

Hello Bill,

You can setup commissions in two ways in NinjaTrader. Please see the information at the link below.

http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/helpGuides/nt7/adding_commission_rates.htm

A flat commission (minimum commission) will apply commissions per side per order.

A tiered level (commission level) will apply commissions per side per contract/share/unit.



For example, if you like a commission of $2.00 per order per side, please enter a minimum commission of 2. A commission of $2 will be calculated for the entire order per side. So if you submit an order for 5 contracts, it will calculate a commission of $2 per side, which is a total of $4 per the entire order.

If you like a commission of $2.00 per contract, please enter a commission level of 2/99999999. Each contract traded will calculate a commission of $2 per side. So if you submit an order for 5 contracts, a commission of $2 * 5 is calculated per side, which is $20 for the entire order.

Make sure you enable 'Apply commissions to PnL calculations' at Control Center-->Tools-->Options-->General-tab once you setup commissions. Please note that the commissions will only apply for trades that occur after you setup commissions.
