How to include commission in Trade Performance table for SIM account

[gchan]

Hi, would appreciate some help in adding commissions data in my SIM account. Trader performance currently shows no commissions, is there a way to add a value for commissions in a SIM account. ?
Thanks.

Hello gchan,

Thank you for your post.

To apply commissions, please take the steps below.

1. Navigate to the Accounts tab of the Control Center
2. Right click on the Account you would like to apply the commissions to, and select 'Edit Account'
3. In the 'Commission' drop-down menu, select the commission template.
4. Click OK

If the commission templates you see don't suit you, then you would have to create a custom commissions template which you may do so by navigating to the Control Center > Tools > Commissions. In this window, click, "add" in the Templates section towards the bottom left side to create a new template. Next, depending on the instrument type you intend on trading, click on the instrument type in the 'Commission per instrument type' section, and click edit. Lastly, add the 'Minimum commission' or 'Per-unit commission' and then click 'OK'. Follow the above steps to apply the commission template to your account.

Unfortunately, the prior orders you've executed will not be applied with commissions, however, the new orders you execute will have the commissions applied.
