Hi,

In The Accounts Tab On Dashboard, Does The Total PnL Deduct Commissions If Enabled?

Hello Greg,

Thank you for your inquiry.

You would first need to add a commission template to the account that you are trading for commissions to be included in PnL calculations. Please see the following steps to do so.

• Navigate to the Control Center -> Accounts tab
• Right click on an account and select 'Edit Account...'
• On the 'Commission' row, select the name of the appropriate template from the drop down
• Click 'OK'

Additionally, please see the following publicly available NinjaTrader 8 help guide link on Working With Commission Templates:

Please let us know if we may be of further assistance.

NinjaTrader_ZacharySorry for the confusion. I already know about the templates and have applied the Lifetime one to all products I trade. So, my question is does that automatically reflect by deducting in that particular P n L column in the Accounts tab is really my question?

How can I verify?

And, is there a way to add a commissions column as well?

Hello birdog,

Thank you for your reply.

Yes, so long as you have a commission template applied, the commissions will be automatically deducted from the Total PnL column.

Yes, you can add a total commissions column by right-clicking on the 'Accounts' tab, selecting 'Properties', scrolling down to the 'Columns' section, checking the box next to 'total commission', and selecting apply and OK.

Please let us know if we may assist you any further.
