Hello MichaelAlexander,

Thank you for your note.

To include commission in a backtest for Ninjatrader 8, go to Control Center>Tools>Commissions. Define the commission for the instrument. Then in the strategy analyzer, you should check the include commission.

I have attached a screen shot of the process, please let us know if you need further assistance.

Hello MichaelAlexander,

What version of NInjaTrader are you running? Under Control Center>Help>About?

I look forward to your reply.

AlanP, I also have this problem even though I followed your instruction above. Any other setting may be needed? Mine is NJT8.0.19.1

Hello bxl2019,

Apologies for the confusion this thread may have caused.

Commissions templates are applied to accounts. For the commissions to be included in a backtest, the template must be applied to the Sim101 account.

Below is a link to the help guide.

Once a commissions template is applied to the Sim101 account, this can be included with the 'Include commissions' option in the Strategy Analzyer.
