Commissions no longer in platform

[abdunbar1]

Since the switch from Dorman to Ninja Brokerage, the commissions are no longer in the platform. How to fix?

Hello adbundar1,

Thank you for your message.


Since the account name changed on the servers/your platform, it will not have a Commissions Template attached to it any longer. Here are steps for adding Commissions Templates and Risk Templates (for sim accounts) on your platform.


Commission and Risk Templates

To add Commission and Risk Templates to your Accounts, you may follow the steps below:

• Go to the Control Center > Accounts window
• Right-click on your Account > select 'Edit Account'
• Select your template from the Commission or Risk drop-down menus
• Click 'OK' to save and apply

Please keep in mind that Risk Templates cannot be applied to live trading accounts as this is managed by the broker. Commissions will be applied retroactively to past orders, however, any new orders you place will have Commissions applied once a template is selected.

If you do not see a Commission or Risk template that fits your needs, you may create a Custom Template from the Control Center > Tools > Commissions / Risk windows.

Additional information on both of these windows may be read here in our NinjaTrader 8 Help Guide: Commissions and Risk Overviews


Please let me know if you have any additional questions.
