sim101 account not enforce any limits on trading

[tupchurch]

I just set my sim101 account to have $1000, then I executed 100 quantity of 6E futures contracts? It didn't apply any margin limit, commission etc to my trade. How to I make the sim101 account behave as if I was using my real account. I want to learn how margin limits and commission will affect my trading.

Hello tupchurch,

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 not 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
