How to incorporate the correct commissions into Strategy Analyzer

[wooofad]

Hi,

I created a new commissions template with the values from my broker. However, when I select "include commission" in strategy analyzer it uses the default ninjatrader values. How do I select the new template to be the one utilized?

Thanks.

Hello wooofad,

Thank you for your post.

You would need to apply the commissions template you created to your Sim101 account, as that gets duplicated to create a backtest account.

Here's a link to our help guide that goes over applying a commissions template to an account:

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

The link above it's broken. How do I set commission amounts for Strategy Analyzer using the commissions charged by Interactive Brokers?

Hello designer01,

The link above is correct, but when clicking the link the url may be malformed.
Our IT is aware of an issue with links on the forum not functioning property and are looking into the matter.
In the meantime, we've had reports that using uBlock origin can prevent the malformed links.

Below is a link to the page in the help guide (which should work). See the section 'Applying commission templates to accounts'.
https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...commissi_3.htm

The steps are to go the Accounts tab of the Control Center, right-click Sim101, select Edit Account, and select a commission template.
Then in the Strategy Analyzer check the box to 'Include commissions'.

If you need to create a custom commission template, this is done in the Tools -> Commissions window.

If you need to show the Sim101, enable Tools -> Options -> General -> Multi-provider mode.
