Commissions as a Percent of Position

[sumobull]

Hi, is there a way to set the commissions value for any given trade to a percent of the overall position?

Hello sumobull ,

Thank you for reaching out.

Unfortunately this is not possible, as commission are only displayed as the dollar value, and are calculated per contract per side.

NinjaTrader then only displays the total commission value, but there is not a setting to then calculate and display what percentage of the overall position the total commissions were.

Additional information on how commissions work on NT8 can be read here in our NinjaTrader 8 Help Guide: Commissions

Thx for the answer.

Is there any way to set the dollar value of the commission for a trade via Ninjascript within the strategy?
